Tagalong (and ATC) Challenge - also Snippets

 I'm back again with something else for the Tagalong (and ATC) challenge which has a theme of *Anything Autumn*.  I don't have much call for Halloween cards but as this falls within Autumn I thought I'd make an ATC using a stamp and die set which is several years old, and which, although being predominately for Christmas, does include a couple of Halloween elements.  I simply trimmed a snippet of cream card to 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" and stamped the little owl along with the words, adding a spider's web die cut (also from the same set).  Sponged the edges and added a little bit of visual texture for added interest and that's it - my single contribution towards Halloween this year..

The cream Snippet used was from the strip left over when I make my own card blanks and the web was cut from a small snippet of black card so I'm also dashing along to the Playground as well with this ATC. Hope I'm not too late for a warming cup of something to drink 😉

Anything Autumnal

Anything Autumnal is the theme for the current challenge for Tag-along (and ATCs) and as I found a stray leaf on my desk, left over from a couple of recent projects I thought I'd use it for a tag.  I remembered that a while ago I was gifted a couple of ready cut three-layer tags in plain white card so I smooshed them with some Distress Oxide inks in Autumn colours and over printed using some text stamps and found three in different scales so I could use the largest on the large tag and going to the smallest on the little one in the frame.  A little gilding wax was used to highlight the edges and then I adhered the die cut leaf.  A small piece of gold ribbon was stapled on to the top.


Tag - was a gift so no idea of the source of the die, sorry (see below)
Text - largest a stamp from Amazon, the other two were from different magazine gifts
Leaf - Artsy Leaves from Sizzix, Tim Holtz

Edit - I've been given the tag details which are -
