When I think of Fall colors I think of the leaves changing from greens
to reds, yellows, oranges, something like this....
Yes, that is much better! hahaha... but I guess it all depends if you're in to the traditional or the current fashion trends which will determine what you consider FALL colors to be. I've been having lots of fun with tags lately. Here is a Fall tag I made featuring an adorable Kitty Bee Owl. :)
This was a lot of fun to make. I used an adorable Kitty Bee Designs Kawaii Owl, burlap paper, Adirondack Alcohol inks, Viva Decor Colour Inka gold metallic rub, a Sizzix die and some beautiful paper from Colorbok to create this tag. The tag itself measures 5 1/2" high x 3" wide. It is backed by kraft cardstock to make it sturdier. I cut the beautiful paper down to match and I tried to cut out parts that I thought would make this Fall tag stand out without being too busy. Bummer you can't tell but the leaf on the lower left corner is actually gold, like gold leaf.
The leaves are made out of the burlap paper (DCWV) which was a great find for me. I used a Tim Holtz Sizzix leaf die (has 3 different leaves on it) to make them and used the Adirondack inks and Viva Inka gold metallic rub to make leaves that would compliment my tag. Sorry it's such a dark picture, I wish you could see how pretty the colors are. I'll see if I can do a short tutorial on how I made these in another post. It's all experiment and go with me, using products I purchased and have yet to use and also pieces of stuff left on my desk. I think I'll be making more of these. :) To top it off I used some beautiful ribbon from May Arts and that embellishment (Mrs. Grossman's Natural Art) is something I picked up at Joann's eons ago. So glad it finally has a home. Here's another shot of the tag on it's side with a little more light on it.
