The Craft Barn Calendar Challenge - September

We've reached the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness and the trees are dressing in their beautiful technicolour coats. I've tried to reflect this colour palette on September's tag for the Craft Barn Calendar Challenge where leaves/trees and the colour brown have to be used somewhere on the month's project.

I used autumnal colour Distress Inks sponged on the background and stamped over it, firstly with a Hero Arts stamp that looks like rose hips and then added the toadstool border stamp. The leaves and sentiment were stamped onto card which had been coloured with the same colours as the base of the tag, then cut out and attached. The tag was finished off with seam binding that had been coloured with Distress Inks.
