Graphic 45 wants a fall home decor item for their September challenge #G45FallDecor and I don't usually do "decor" per se. However, I wanted to tackle this with one of Tim Holtz' supersize ETCETERA tags. I started by guessing one of thesmaller tags (which are 5.5 by 10 inches) and then blending Distress Oxide inks over the gessoed surface:
While that dried, I covered a G45 Large Black Album tag with paper from the "French Country" collection, ran it through my Big Shot with a Sizzix Thinlits "Mixed Media #3 " die, and glued it (and some of the "bricks" that were punched out by the die) to the ETCETERA tag:
My next step was to create some autumnal embellishments using Graphic 45 "French Country" papers, Distress "Walnut Stain" Ink, Sizzix Thinlits dies "Fall Foliage" and "Small Tattered Florals" and some Hot Off The Press brads:
The leaf veins wee made by blending Distress Ink through the actual die...
I sprayed the foliage and flowers with Gold Shimmer spray and attached them to the tag:
I added a cut-apart from Graphic 45's collection "A Place In Time' and some left-over crinkle ribbon dyed with Distress stains to complete my autumnal display piece:
