Thought I'd be a bit different today and start with the close-up, LOL! Louise's new challenge over at Kard Krazy is tags with Pumpkins, so I thought I'd start with the star of the show. And here is the whole tag....
Fall is my favorite time of the year, so I already had a bunch of fall-themed, orange-y goodness sitting around on my work table. My pumpkin is cut freehand from grungeboard, painted orange, then glittered with Martha Stewart's glitter. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Friendship Jar Fall Fillers. The frame around the dancing couple is from 7Gypsies, and the polka dot background is from Glitz. The rest of the tag uses stamps from Crafty Secrets' new Halloween set, Costume Cuties. I colored the couple with Copics and the moon was stamped on a piece of scrap that I had already colored with distress inks. The dotty background is stamped on a page from a vintage German reader. The bat is one of those double-sided stickers from Martha, with some black glitter on top. Lastly, the seam binding is from Zipperstop. Whew, sounds way more complicated than it actually was, LOL!
There are some great tags in the Linky over at Kard Krazy.... if you need some fall inspiration, check out Louise's tag and all the others, and maybe have a go! :)
