Tim's Tag for November!

I'm not real sure where October went, but here we are on November 1st and that means it's time for a new tag.

Here's Tim Holtz's tag--love love love that background!!

And here's mine:

This is probably my favorite background...like ever.  Too bad that fat pumpkin is covering up all the really cool splotches!  ;-)

I followed Tim's recipe fairly closely.  I deviated on the letters, because my tags are smaller than Tim's and the "negative" technique he used wouldn't fit on my tag.  I love the way the letters have that tone-on-tone look, fading a bit into the tag.

I also didn't have any gold foil, so I picked up some gold acrylic paint on my finger, then gently wiped it off on the edge of the tag in a few places.  I then wiped the excess off on the pumpkin and leaves so they have an ever-so-slight shimmer.

And that's it for me!

Thanks sooooooooooooooo much for dropping in to check out my tag!!  I appreciate your visit!


Stay crafty--
