T stands for a new challenge at Tag Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

On Tuesday we are starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday -
autumn and/or Halloween.
Tags of all formats are welcome, and I look forward
to seeing your creations in the next 2 weeks.
And good news - we have a new DT member, the very
talented Sandie of Somewhere to be me,
so welcome on board!

I made 2 tags, one for Autumn and one for Halloween, but
you could also combine both themes in one tag.
The first tag was made using a Mucha image from Gecko Galz
on a painted background. I added lots of gold leafing, some 
real leaves which were embossed with gold EP, bits and
bobs of fibres, beads  and a sunflower:





This tag was made from a spare bit of card, which I gave a 
quick coat of paint. I stamped the hat, which, broom and cat twice,
once directly onto the card, and once using Stazon on to
acetate, and placed the images over each other to
give more depth. The bat is a die-cut, the other pieces are
from my stash. I sewed the tag onto a recycled BG:




Tuesday is also Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday
so I would like to give a warm welcome to all
of the nice ladies of the T Gang.

We had wonderful weekend weather, and I was able to
sit outside for my Sunday coffee:


Monday morning started off hazy, with just a tiny sliver of moon
high up in the sky:




And some more photos from beautiful Kaarster See:















Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  4. I love your tags. Muchas women are so stylish and sensual. The Halloween tag is so fun especially the black kitty with the googly eyes. So glad you were able to sit outside to enjoy your coffee. This week's photos are stunning. The close-up of the crescent moon is breath-taking and I love the reflection of the sky in the lake. Have a Happy T Day!

  7. Gorgeous tags Valerie, the textures and the wonderful leaf additions to the first one are fantastic. I also loved the Halloween tag, its a great image of the witch, she looks like she is about to party.
    You would be blown away here, if you were to sit outside today. So pleased you could sit and enjoy your coffee in the sunshine.
    The photos are as always wonderful to see.
    Happy T day wishes.

  10. You are right. I am excited about this new challenge at TT. Your autumn tag is just gorgeous. Adding the leaves is a cool idea. And the Halloween tag is fun. Sitting outside with a drink is always enjoyable, and I bet if you could have sat by that lake with the pretty cloud reflections, it would have been even better. :) Ha[[y T day. hugs-Erika

  11. Your first tag has me thinking autumn goddess and is just gorgeous!!! Loving the fun Halloween tag too. Such beautiful and peaceful looking photos of nature...
    How wonderful to still get a day or two to sit outdoors with a favorite beverage. Happy T day!

  12. Both of your tags are wonderful, but your first tag is truly elegant and sophisticated.

    The photos around the lake were beautiful, but my favorite was the one that looked like a you were walking under a canopy of trees. I can see autumn has truly arrived here.

    It's great that your weather is as warm as mine, at least warm enough to sit outside and enjoy your cappuccino. Thanks for sharing this time out with your cup of cappuccino, as well as your beautiful tags and great photos for T this Tuesday.

  18. That's a gorgeous art deco tag, Valerie! The "creepy beware" one is very cute. But I don't know what a BG is. Now I'm curious and trying to think of something with initials BG. This may keep me awake nights ;-) Love the googly eyes on the cat and skull - lol.

    Beautiful, beautiful photos. You could be a professional photographer. I especially like the way you capture light and huge color ranges like sunrises and sunsets. I wonder if it comes naturally or if you work hard to get those shots.

    Happy T-Day! Hugs, Eileen

  19. What wonderful tags! I love Mucha and the image and colours you chose are perfect for autumn. It's such a happy coincidence that we are going to see the Mucha exhibition at a Gallery in Liverpool next week 😁. Your Halloween tag is so much fun, the cat made me smile - I love it! Wishing you a very Happy T Day! J 😊

  20. Love these tags. The first is so delicate and the second makes me smile:)
    I never had a great desire to visit Germany until I started following your blog and tagging along on your walks. Now I'd really enjoy having the opportunity to visit your neck of the woods.
    Hugs

  26. Das Tag mit der schönen Jugengstil-Dame gefällt mir sehr und ist super dekoriert. Aber auch das Halloween-Tag mit der flotten Hexe und den lustigen Kulleraugen von Katze und Schädel ist total klasse gemacht. Schön auch wieder deine stimmungsvollen Naturfotos.
    Liebe Grüße
