Hi Everybody!
Today is Saturday, so time for Manons's Paper Saturdays, where you can link up anything made using paper.
Today I have a tag to share, which I am also linking to Simon's Monday Challenge, dotty.
The background has been distressed with wild honey and died marigold, which I then sprayed with water to give it more movement. I made the dotty background using a scrap of sequin waste and inking with peeled paint and rusty hinge. The leaves have been stamped with a three part Lavinia leaf stamp using color box inks in orange, dark green and brown.
For the embellishments I used some of the leaves I made last Sunday from painted paper and paper scraps, die-cut, varnished and crackled. I like to be able to make my own unique embellishments this way.
The sentiments are from a set by Hampton Arts.
Have a good day you all, take care, and thanks for coming by.
Wow Valerie! A stunning creation and love those Autumn shades (even if it's gone very hot and sunny again here!)

Hey Valerie -- by now you know that your fans all think your tag is gorgeous!! and it is!! I still cannot get over how real your leaves look. Beautiful tag. I do believe I like Autumn colors most of all. Our leaves here in the mountains where I live are just now starting to turn. Just a wee bit though.
