Thanks: Mixed Media and Die Cut tag

Hello there!! Today I'm dropping by to quickly share with you my latest fall tag. 

Recently, I've forced myself to significantly reduce my crafting budget for various reasons. I already have so much to work with, it's not that much of a "hardship".

I'm part of a school project called "Adopt-A-Staff" in which we provide small gifts to a teacher/staff member during the school year. I see it as a great opportunity to play with my stash!!

My sister gave me a bag of fall goodies over a year ago and I stuffed them into my "fall" drawer. Whelp, I pulled out that bag, did some fussy cutting and had quite a few die cuts to layer!!

All that was left was the background!! I really wanted it to be colorful but simple and somewhat masculine. I mixed Lindy's squirt Maple Syrup Bronze and magical Autumn Maple Crimson with modeling paste. Layered those colors using my Prima tapestry stencil (awesome stencil, by the way). Then I added Moon Shadow Mist Golden Doubloon very lightly. Did a little stamping with some text, and voila!

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY TODAY!!!

BOO!!! PDE Linky Party

Although it's our weekly Friday DT reveal at PDE Linky Party, it's still the day before Halloween. The theme is still "Anything Goes", but I've just gotta share one last Halloween project.

I really love the file Mr. Pumpkin from Kadoodle Bug Designs. So I made one more Halloween tag to share with you.

The tag is actually a die cut file from the Silhouette store. I did make it much bigger so I could fit Mr. Pumpkin on it easily.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Supplies:
Paper Cardstock:
--Black, Charcoal Grey, Butterscotch, Autumn Orange, Green, and Vanilla

PDE Linky Party: Spider Street

Hello there! It's PDE Linky Party time with the theme: Anything Goes.

No brainer, right??

I'm having fun this week playing around with tags. I actually pulled out many different tools and styles for this one. I was hugely inspired by this card from Pinterest.

The silhouette witch is from SVGCuts. The flower is a combination of Spellbinders and a punch. I even got to dig out my Coordinations paper by embossing, then distressing, for a really cool effect.

Thanks for stopping by today!!
