Autumn Thyme

I can't believe that it's almost October. More Paper Than Shoes forums has kept me busy making tags. I've signed up to be on the hangtag creative team for that site. It's been a great site for inspirations. Anyhow created this tag to Autumn. I used a graphic I downloaded from the web to print, glitter, emboss and inked it. This tag was easy to put together but I wanted it to be a set of tags. I will be posting more of this set later. Let me know what you think.

Rusty Bucket Challenge- MPTS

I decided I would complete the rusty bucket challenge on the MPTS blog site. Here is the posted challenge:

September's Monthly Challenge ~ Rusty Bucket ~

Theme: Rustic (Rusty Bucket)
Supplies: Metal and Twine (any kind of rope).
Surface: ANY
Technique:Torn paper

I love to paint and I've not done so in so long that I jumped after the opportunity to paint this little bucket I got at A.C. Moore. I wanted to keep the project simple so the elements would stand out on their own. This time of year is my favorite because the weather gets cooler, trees start turning and the holidays are approaching. I tried to keep the color theme soft and muted.

I created the tag using a punch and then trimmed it to fit to size. I then added the eyelet and tied it to the bucket with twine. I punched one side of the paper with an edge punch and then tore the other side, as needed for the challenge. I've had the butterfly and dragonfly trinkets for some time now. they turned out great. Perfect for this project.
