Hi everybody!
Hope you have had a good day
Here it was a cool, windy day with a big nip of autumn in the air, and the wind chased the clouds across the sky, presenting us with rain showers, sunshine and blue skies one after the other. I enjoyed wearing a warm pullover and thick, cosy socks again!
Today it's time for a new theme at Tag Tuesday. Our theme is danger - yikes!
Anyway, I had to lengthen the theme a bit to be able to make something, so I've called it 'Danger, the witching time is coming nearer!' I distressed the background with vintage photo, spiced marmalade and old mahogany, mixing the colours on my craft mat and swishing the tag through till it had the right colours. I used a background stamp to bring some depth and movement. I stamped the witch and cat ('Wicked' from Close to my Heart) with archival black and embossed with black EP extra fine. The witch at the top, hiding behind the leaves, has been printed onto transparent foil and fussy cut. The leaves and seed pods are some of those which I embossed with EP yesterday. I added some witch's 'hair' and a little broom as embellishments.
This is another journal page made from my smear, clean and blot page from last week. I added a few bits which were flying around my table, some tissue tape, and stamped the birds, hearts, crown and wings (TH) with archival black. The Dina Wakley heads were the 'second prints' made when I cleaned the stencils with a baby wipe, and there was always enough colour to make a new face.
This is a digitally altered version:
I am linking to Simon Monday Challenge, stamps and stencils and to
Art Journal Journey, living beings.
I saw this flowering tree in a front garden when I was out walking today, the flowers are really huge:
Everything was as usual on the horse meadow:
And I stood and watched the Rhine here, I love this corner.
Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
An excellent tag with those wonderfully embossed nature pieces. I do love Autumnal colours very much.
ReplyDeleteThe clean & smear (hehe), page is very good with all the different elements to look at.
Those orange flowers are so pretty, as are your photographs, and beautifully clear ((hugs)) :o)
thank you for your lovely comment on my Q&L page x
The Halloween theme fits the 'danger' aspect of the tag, nice work! Lovely page and photos too.

ReplyDeleteDeine Bilder gefallen mir auch.. so eine Trompetenblume hatte ich letztes Jahr im Garten gepflanzt, aber außer einen ellenlangen Stiel und Blätter hatte die nichts zustande gebracht bis in den Herbst...
mein schwarzer Daumen...lol!
Einen tollen Tag Val!
