52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge
The prompt for Week 32 is "Autumn Colours".
I started my tag by making the background using an assortment of Distress Oxide Ink, (Vintage Photo, Antique Linen, Wild Honey, Tea Dye, Spiced Marmalade and Crushed Olive).
Using a fan brush, I splattered water droplets across the surface and then blotted them with a kitchen towel, this leaves a bleached look to the area where the water droplets have been.
Using a Stampin' Up set called "Gorgeous Grunge", I added foxing marks using a splatter stamp and a Versafine Ink called "Vintage Sepia". Using the same ink, I stamped the "Autumn Verse" at the base of the tag, this is a stamp by Sweet Poppy.
Using a Versafine Clair ink called "Chianti", I stamped the Lavinia Stamps Vine around the top and the right hand edge.
I stamped the basket in a Versafine Clair ink called "Shady Lane". The basket, the pumpkins in the basket and the acorns in the border are all part of a Papertrey Ink stamp set, I'm not sure what the set is called, but it is the "Tag-its #7" set.
I stamped the pumpkins, I used coloured pencil to give them colour, cut them out and adhered them to look as if they are in the basket.
The prompt for Week 15 is "Spring Colours".
For this tag, I started with a background of Distress Oxide Inks in the following shades: Tumbled Glass, Squeezed Lemonade and Twisted Citron.
I stamped the tree trunk in Versafine "Vintage Sepia" ink. The blossom is stamped in Versafine Clair "Charming Pink" and "Verdant" . Both sections of the tree are from a Stampin' Up set called "Sheltering Tree".
The Spring sentiment at the top of the tag is a "Sweet Poppy" stamp, stamped in Versafine Clair "Verdant". I created both the landscape and inked the edges using Distress Inks.

The prompt for Week 42 is "Autumn".
With the strong winds, our garden is covered in leaves that have been ripped from the trees, making everywhere look very Autumnal so this prompt is very apt.
I started with a base of Distress Inks in various shades. I then stamped the Autumn sentiment, which is from Sweet Poppy, stamped in Versafine "Vintage Sepia".
I then used an assortment of Lavinia Stamps, including Chinese Lanterns, Wild Vines, Silhouette Thistle and some pound stamps too. Stamped in Versafine and Memento inks. I added accents in a gold metallic pen too.
I am going to enter this tag into Stamping Sensations challenge on an Autumn prompt.
