Hello!!! Nothing like waiting until the last minute to post my
September tag for Tim's 12 Tags of 2015! I haven't even been able to blog in a long time. I've literally been extraordinarily busy designing holiday classes and teaching. It's a great thing, don't get me wrong...I LOVE my job...but the blog has suffered. I apologize for not being able to visit you as well. I will try to get back on track.
I LOVE the background of this tag...Alcohol Ink is truly one of my favorite mediums, but my leaves got lost on here. I think I should have used Jet Black Archival instead.
 |
| It was hard to narrow down which colors I would use. I LOVE the Gold Mixative though...it really transforms the background! |
 |
| I have been flecking everything lately, and Alcohol Ink flecks are easy to do with a paint brush. |
 |
| I used more gold...Tarnished Brass Distress Spray Stain, for the base tag. I love the shimmer. |
 |
| A favorite stamp of mine every Autumn. I love the veins in the leaves. |
 |
| I decided to add a little more metal, and give the wire a little spiral action. |
Thanks for looking and commenting! I will try to get by and visit everyone soon!
Supplies:
I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!
Love your background colours. I have not been busy at my desk lately, but rather in my carport where i am building a 3.5m airship... No tag again for me this month!

Definitely a winning design. I love it. I really like the leaves! That's what I was going for with my design but had limited stamp options haha. Awesome colors too. Thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! I had fun taking your class last week. Can't wait til you're back at TCS!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Anita. Really adore it. I'm so glad you did the leaves. That's exactly what I wanted to do but didn't have the right sizes of leaves. So you made me very happy seeing this LUSCIOUSLY ELEGANT fall tag. Just love the way you did the sentiment too and the charm. It's all PERFECT. LOVE it. j.

Fabulous tag!!!
ReplyDeleteReally pretty tag, Anita. You always have a wonderful knack of putting your own spin on things. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteOh, Anita--Such a pretty tag!! It looks like these leaves have gently floated down and landed upon the water's surface that's reflecting the last golden rays of a late Summer sun!! Soooo serene...Big Sigh!! :) :) Happy Saturday!! XOXO-Shari
ReplyDeleteThis is truly gorgeous! I love the wire curly-Q's. What a great detail! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never!! good for you that you have so many teaching gigs!! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis tag is beautifully done,Anita! From your color choices,yummm!, to the extra little touches that you add! I love it! Happy Autumn!

I haven't been over to see his September tag ( I know...lame!!) BUT....I have no doubt that this tag blows it out of the water. I think it's sensational. The light color of the leaves gives them more of a 'floaty' feeling as if they're drifting through the air. Maybe black wouldn't have felt so light. I think they look perfect the way you've designed them. Beautiful work and congratulations on your job stuff. ;)
ReplyDeleteWell I missed the September tag, but am so delighted to see your fabulous take on it. Love the background and gorgeous leaves! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWow Anita, this tag is amazing! Love your autumn take on it! It's stunning! Hugs, Sandra
