We are into November and another Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is upon us! This week's theme is "thanks/Thanksgiving," so I made a Fall-themed tag.
I decided to use both the frame and the inside cut-out part. I stamped an acorn on the inside shape and colored it with Distress Watercolor Pencils. I also painted the frame.
Next I used a Tim Holtz tree ring embossing folder. I embossed it onto a cream-colored piece of cardstock and then inked and watercolored it to bring out the tree colors.
I added some more paint to the November frame and then combined the frame and the inside frame portion. I stamped some polka dots on newsprint paper and cut the wood background into a tag shape.
I cut the polka dot paper and glued it to the wood tag. I typed "Give Thanks" on a typewriter and glued that onto the acorn. I added a few more paint smudges and did some scribbling with Distress Watercolor Pencils to finish off my tag.
