Fall at my House!

I took these on Friday afternoon.

I hope these  last until Thanksgiving!

I love this bright yellow tree!

Rainy, cloudy, cold, but beautiful! 

Travel Tag

Tammy Tutterow's next tag was quick and fun! We stamped a random newspaper stamp all over. Then we glued the torn paper on the left. Of course we inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress ink.

 Everyone else's paper was a map type paper, but I traded someone for the British flag (I LOVE LONDON!). Of course, when I was done I realized I have the Eiffel Tower on the British flag, but Oh Well!

She had die cut the Eiffel Tower out of the Tim Holtz's Adhesive Backed Mirrored Sheets. We attached the adhesive to the side of the paper we wanted from a scrap she gave us. My paper was gray looking, but by the time it was done, it had a vintage-y verdigris color!

Then we watered the other side of the paper. (What was showing on top) We kept spraying with water and then began rubbing. The top layer rubbed off leaving the grayish looking paper.

We randomly rubbed embossing ink over it and sprinkled clear embossing powder over it. After drying it, it looked randomly vintage! Loved it!

Then we just tied on the word band. Added the Eiffel Tower. Added a word that would fit! in the space, and done! My daughter loved this tag and claimed it as soon as she saw it! She loves Paris!

Tag #2

I am not a huge fan of yellow, but this turned out so beautifully, I really like it! In "real life" the embossing looks more subtle.

We stained a tag with Vintage Photo Distress ink. We then stamped and embossed with clear embossing powder.  Then inked some more Vintage Photo Distress ink over the embossing.

Tammy had die cut 4 tissue flowers using Tim Holtz's Tattered Flowers die and Tim's tissue. We inked those with Vintage Photo and put 2 together with a brad in the middle. We pulled the flowers up around the brad and wrapped floral wire around the top of the brad. I fluffed my tissue had a bit to get fluffy posies!

She had die cut a heart for us; so we inked that. She also die cut some paper lace, and yes- inked that!

Then we attached some vintage lace Tammy gave us. A small piece of Tim Holtz's filmstrip (you can barely see it- it's more texture than visual) went over the lace, then the paper lace. All were attached using the tiny attacher. I used a glue dot to stick the posies on the heart. Tied an inked crinkle ribbon in a bow and added a trinket pin. I put the ribbon over the flowers with a glue dot. Then I popped up the heart over the lace.
