Second on the 2nd: a tag

 

This was part of a post I created on September 30, 2019.  The part I will share is a tag I made.  It was for three challenges.  I have removed all the references, but if you are interested, you can find the full post at the date mentioned above.

 This is an autumn inspired tag.

A hole reinforcer I stamped with a rubber stamp that has ancient words on it.  The camera was not my friend for this tag.

Unlike my American friends, I am NOT a fan of the word "Fall" replacing autumn.   However, I will gladly use it in this instance.

It's time for us to Fall into Autumn.  

 

Falling leaves help reinforce that.

However, the real focus should have been on the tree

now completely devoid of leaves

and heat embossed, too!

I finally got a decent photo of my stamped hole reinforcer,

so took an extra photo just in case!

For this tag, I began with a piece of used file folder that I painted using two colors of fluid acrylics: Quinacridone/Nickel Azo Gold and Red Iron Oxide.  Once the paint was dry, which was overnight, I sewed the black construction paper to the file folder using variegated thread.  To give a bit of additional color to the construction paper, I used the (only) decorative stitch on my sewing machine and sewed around the outside, again using the same variegated thread.  I printed the computer generated words using my laser printer, then attached them to heavy cardboard using PVA glue.  While those were drying, I used my handmade baby powder filled pouncer, then stamped the tree (very old wood mounted Stampington red rubber) using VersaMark.  I then added black embossing powder, but failed to remove all the excess bits as I should have.  Next, I added the words and the leaves using red liner tape.  I then stamped a hole reinforcer, punched a hole, and added it to the tag.  Finally, I added fancy fibers from my stash.
