The evenings are drawing in and the mornings are damp and chillier which is a sure sign that summer is fading and autumn is upon us.
My tag today is called Farewell to Summer and whilst we are thinking of the changing colours from fresh greens to dusky oranges and browns I don't want to loose the lovely warmth of the sun.
I started with some of Wendy's re-inkers to make the background and added some stencilling and stamping
The cone flower is one of Wendy Vecchi's art parts painted with distress paints, some gold embossing paste rubbed on randomly and then distress inks to build up the layers.
The arts part border at the bottom was painted with mustard seed distress paint, dried and sunset orange, butterscotch and sandal alcohol ink dripped on and left to dry.
I finished off with some remnant rubs and a stamped and punched number that fitted over the tag hole perfectly.
Although we will miss the summer colours and long summer days I love to see the autumn hues appearing and already I have some of the gold and red leaves appearing on my flowering cherry tree. They are beautiful.
Have a fun filled week.

Lovely tag and I can see how you are putting all those Wendy techniques to good use! The background looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag, Brenda, that captures the fall season so well.
ReplyDeleteReally a lovely tag, Brenda. Sadly, summer is coming to an end and the autumnal colors and crisp cool air are fast approaching. This tag is such a lovely piece of art showing the transition from the bright colors of summer into the more earthy tones of fall. Love it!

ReplyDeleteOh, this is wonderful! I love the inky effects on the flower and butterfly - beautiful glow over the gold embossing paste - and the colour palette is so perfect for these last (finally golden!) days of summer.
