Autumn = Halloween doesn't it?

I was a bit stumped for this week's theme and ended up making an early Halloween tag.



The tag base is acrylic paint and if you look very closely you can just about make out the ~{Harlequin Mask}~ has been turned sideways to almost make bricks. It got lost under the layers by the time I'd finished faffing. I used this door stamp by Stampotique - it was meant to make the front of a house - and coloured it with Copics and added oil pastels for shading and shabbiness.

I used the ~{Mixed Halloween Minis}~ for all the chipboard. They are perfect for tags and cards and so dinky. The bat and spider web were sprayed with graphite ink and then had Walnut Stain DI sponged onto them. The web had glossy accents added. I painted the pumpkins, inked the edges and added white card behind so I could add details. I then set to work with the white and black pen doodling to finish it off.

Autumn Party!

I love the colours of Autumn, they are so beautiful!  Carrying on on with the theme this week I have decorated the larger plaque from the plaque pack.


The mini leaves have been painted in Autumnal colours and some have glitter & others crackle accents applied.  The background is some thin card that I decorated.  The lovely poem is from The Quote Garden.

Thank you for taking a look, HUGS, Karen x

Autumn ATC

Autumn is definately in the air this week and I am delighted to share an Artist Trading Card (Atc) with you today.


I have used the very versatile Artist Trading Cards as my base for water soluble inks and embossing powder, and can happily say there was absolutely no bending or warping.


I have used some of the Tando Creative mini sets to decorate the Atc inking and embossing leaves from sets 1 & 2.

Autumn - Tea Bag Tags

 
Hi Tando fans!  Dana here today sharing a fun autumn-themed project.  I'm looking forward to the cooler weather and drinking more tea.  I have quite a few tea bags without tags and I always burn my fingers trying to pull them out of my cup.  I thought I would try to remedy that problem and create some tea bag tags.  These leaves were a great size for this project and the design was perfect for looping some thread through the chipboard to attach to my tea bags.
 


I colored the leaves with embossing power and topped them with a coat of crackle paint.  These tea bag tags were quick and easy to assemble and would make a great gift for your favorite tea lover.  If you'd like to pick up a set of these leaves, you can find them HERE.


Thanks for stopping by today!

Altered jewelry with Tando: Autumn week

Hello, my dear Tando friends! Today is my turn to showcase my Fall/Autumn  project and this time it's this altered Tando jewelry piece.BTW, I had a British educated English teacher in school, so I still use both and I do spell " colour" and then the speller  is changing it to American way.
I used 2 Tando chipboards: the upper one was covered with 3 layers of Gold Rich Wow embossing powder and  then I filled all spots with old and forgotten copper microbeads. All piece was covered with Ice Resin (long- long drying time, but this glass look is just perfect).
The lower piece was made  the same way and I added a " gold" tassel  over it. To make it totally wearable I covered the back with a thin layer of Ice Resin.


Hope you like this piece.
See you next time
Irit
