We have the fab Stamp Addicts as our sponsors too - a great prize on offer!
My DT submission started off it's life as a tag... but then I thought it needed to go on a card!!
I started off with a plain manilla tag, a variety of leaf stamps and Distress Inks.
I clear embossed the large leafy branches and the tiny 'dotty' stamp first then began to build up the colour.
Covered the whole tag with Dried Marigold then blended Ripe Persimmon and finished with Seedless Preserve - although this is purple it gave a lovely Autumny colour over the other inks!
Rubbed the whole tag with a paper towel and this allowed the clear embossed bits to stand out a bit.
Simply randomly stamped a few odd leaves, a tiny script stamp and the word stamp- used same inks with the addition of Gathered Twigs.
A wooden bark effect button and some twine finished it.
My stand alone tag looked a bit 'lost' so with ivory linen card I used a wood background embossing folder and just brushed the ink duster over it (didn't apply any more ink - just used up what was on the brush!)
Matted then put onto the card and popped a teeny wooden peg on the top.
Hope you like it - please go visit the Stamping Sensations blog and have a peep at what my teamies have come up with this month!

Wow, stunning tag, Viv! Emboss resist is one of my favourite techniques, and this is a gorgeous example! Wonderful blending of the colours too. It would have been great as a standalone tag, but it's fabulous as a card. Love it!

Hi Viv . . . I'm back from my travels and am catching up in blogland. LOVE the look of this very pretty autumnal card. Great inking and embossing.

I somehow managed to miss this and as it is so pretty I had to leave a comment Viv. I love the Autumnal colours and the beautiful foliage, and it looks great on the inked woodgrain embossed background. x
I love this tag - gorgeous leaves both embossed and stamped to get all the colour variations - it's fab!
