Autum Tag - ArJo Challenge

Hey, folks! Here's a quick post to show you the autumn tag I've made for a Facebook challenge group called ArJo's Tag og ATC kos. The somewhat funny name (if you're not Norwegian) is because it used to be an all Norwegian group, but they have opened it for anyone worldwide. You can write in English or any of the Scandinavian languages, so it's a fun mix - but the photos we share there speak for themselves :-)

Anyway - this month's challenge was to make one tag or a series of three ATC's with autum colours, using stamped images, two or more media, paint, mist or ink, washitape and a word or handwritten text. So - here's mine:

 

I think I've used washi tape only once before in my life, and I could only find one in my stash ... but it's there! The gold embossed leaf stamps are from Rubber Dance, the deer stencil from Panduro, leaf dies from Tim Holtz/Sizzix, and the little elk/moose wood figurine is from Nille. 

An autumn tag needs some bling! Gemstones, Stickles, bronze bling ribbon:

 

I dyed the elk/moose with brown inks:

 

I've joined this month's challenge at ArJo's.

CASology Challenge, Week #216: FRAME

I was worried that I would miss the CASology challenge this week, as I've been away on autumn holiday on the west coast of Norway. But I'm back, so here we go!

 

I stamped a large maple leaf (Rubber Dance) on watercolour paper, using Distress inks and a mist of water.  I added more yellow ink here and there with a waterbrush, and yellow Distress Spray Stain for a few splashes. I cut part of the leaf our with a frame die, adhered the base and oval to a green card, and popped the frame up with foam tape on the back. The sentiment (Rubber Dance) was stamped with green ink that matched that of the leaf.

 

I'm entering my card to this challenge

and want to thank the lovely CASology gang for yet another fun one!
