Goodly Morning Stampers and a very happy Sunday to you all. Thank you for all the lovely leafy entries into last weeks challenge... this week I am sticking with the seasonal feel and have chosen a doubleheader theme... AUTUMN &/or COLOURS OF AUTUMN. To join in is simples... all you need to do is make a little something (it can be anything you fancy), include the theme and some stamping, hop back here to leave me a comment with a link to the place you are showing your entry and then I can pop over to see you. If you don't have a blog, you can email me a piccie or leave a comment with a link to your photo-hosting place. The challenge will remain open until 21:00 Saturday 29th October 2011.
So... my entry this week incorporates both parts of the theme... the colours on the tag are what I think Autumn looks like and the word is... erm... Autumn... so that fits too lol I used Distress Inks to blend onto my tag base; Wild Honey, Crushed Olive, Rusty Hinge, Seedless Preserves and Gathered Twigs. I did a bit of spritzing with water to create a blotchy look and then over stamped the script using Monarch Orange Archival Ink.
The spider web was stamped in Coffee Archival, I wanted it to be there but not "in your face" there, if you know what I mean... and then the birds were stamped in Jet Black Archival so they pop off the tag a bit more. The flower was made by cutting the Autumnal papers from the Seasonal Stash and the spikey flower from the Tattered Florals die... I just scrunched them, glued them together and then added Seedless Preserves to the edges. The centre of the flower is actually made from Idea-ology Foliage which I painted with Traditional Tan paint and then added Distress Stains over the top once dried.
The leaves were cut from the same paper but the "plain" side... coloured with Rusty Hinge, Fired Brick and Forest Moss DI's... and I folded the leaves so they had "veins" and rubbed the Fired Brick pad onto them. We have some trees in the Spinney that have leaves with red veins, which is where the inspiration came from. 
The Trim was coloured with Distress Stains... Crushed Olive and Rusty Hinge, as was the Seam Binding ribbons... and I added a Facet that I had popped onto some more of the Seasonal Paper to make a dangly embellie. Right then, time to get a move on get some tidying up done... believe it or not, before I went away I cleared the Room of Stash... it was spotless... **I even... ahem... dusted the shelves!** Now it looks like a bomb has gone off again... see, doesn't take me long to make a nice old mess! Thanks for looking... have a lovely Sunday... TTFN
