| Be thankful Tag |
I don't have many leaf stamps so I needed to compromise. I went outside and I found the perfect one to use on my tag. It was a little brittle but I softened it up with hand lotion to make it pliable so it wouldn't crumble under the pressure! (lol)
I covered it with acrylic paints-placed a sheet of paper on top to stamp/press it onto tag. I filled the blank areas with dried marigold and barn door distress crayons applied with a water brush. Background stamps-stamped in wild honey & black. Wild honey with pine needles distress crayon to cover background. Added a washi tape sentiment and burlap twine for tags hanger.
Happy Creating! T.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteit's a very creative approach to the lack of a leaf stamp :-) Great reflection of your leaf, beautiful autumn tag. I would never get the idea to soften the leaf with liquid :-) You are unique.
