Mum Tag

Hi everyone.  I've made a second tag for the Tag You're It! challenge.  I'm not sure that this qualifies, but hope so.


I have used Marcia's (Featured Designer) tag for inspiration.  I don't have any sweet images like Marcia used on her tag, but used her autumn theme.  I do love the colours of autumn, and the flowers, like the mum above.  Mums are so beautiful and last a VERY long time. :)

I stamped the mum bouquet off the edge of the tag, in medium brown ink and heat embossed in clear.  Then I used my zigs to watercolour the flower and leaves.  I used the same ink and clear embossing on the sentiment.  I added a bright green, tone-on-tone, polka dot ribbon at the top.

Here's the close-up.

There's only a few more days left for this month's challenge ... I hope you'll check it out and play along!







Stamps:  Beautiful Bouquet: Mums (WPlus9); Sentiment - Gratitude (Penny Black)
Paper:  Mixed Media paper (Strathmore 140 lb.)
Ink:  Brushed Corduroy (Tim Holtz); Zigs
Accessories & Tools:  clear embossing powder, heat tool, water brush, bright green ribbon

Challenges:
Tag You're It! #75

    This looks very fallish, Loll! I love the mums in the fall, especially the orange ones. And the yellow ones..and the lavender ones. I love them all!

    I love the subtleness of the embossed brown, Loll. It goes perfectly with that bright orange mum.

    Lovely tag, Loll! Works for me (but then, my opinion doesn't count at all, lol). You chose some pretty colors! I like how it is stamped off the tag, too. So visually interesting!

    Lovely tag, Loll! I love the shape of your tag and how the flowers appear on the tag. As if the tag was part of a larger whole. It looks so beautiful. And I love your way of coloring the image. ZIG's are great :-) and the light colors work perfectly together.
    Hugs,

    Gorgeous mum, Loll! I love the softness of the brown ink and your off-edge stamping. That ribbon is the perfect final touch! Thanks for joining in on the fun over at Tag, You're It! Your second tag certainly does count. BTW, I love both of your tags!
