Autumn Tag & Sympathy Card

 Happy Saturday!

Two projects to share today - first up is a tag I made by recycling an old tag I found in my stash.



I'd like to enter this tag into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Recycle It

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Stamp It

Stay Crafty with a Blog Named Hero - September Anything Goes

AllSorts - Autumn Colors/Anything Goes

Kreative Aunts #93 - Mushrooms


I used Distress Inks to create the background and then stamped with Versafine black and clear embossing powder - stamps are by Globeland and Hero Arts.

...........................................................

And my second card for today - I struggle with sympathy cards.  Everything I do tends to be bright and cheerful or witchy and Halloween-ish.  Here is what I came up with:



I would like to enter this one into the following challenges:

Die Cut Divas - Sympathy

Critter Crazy - Anything Goes w/ Critter

Creative Knockouts - Anything Goes

Lost Coast Portal to Creativity #189 - September/Animals

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes

 I stamped the gorgeous fox from Creative Expressions with Versafine black and embossed with clear embossing powder, then colored him with alcohol markers.  Background was created with a cloud stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.  The one thing I don't like about dies is that once I take them out of their package and put them in my magnetic book, I can't remember what brand they are!  I cannot for the life of me find this moon die online anywhere.  It reminds me of the Tim Holtz one, but it's not (it's perfectly round, his is a little misshapen - and I don't have the bats!).  Weird.  Anyway, it's a cool full moon die that comes with 3 pieces for layering.  Sticker sentiment is from SRM Stickers. Peace.
