Woodland Critter Autumn Tag

Autumn here with you today to set you in the mood for fall creating, I've created a sweet little autumn tag using two rather surprising stamp sets.  Though the stunning ornate stag gets most of the attention in the Winterland Wood Stamp Set, I really wanted to use the little pair of deer as a focal image for this project.  This versatile set can be used for so many occasions!

 

I turned to the Blooming Great set for the beautiful skeleton leaves to create my background.  I used Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain with some water to create my Distress background.  Next, I inked my leaves in Fossilized Amber and tapped Rusty Hinge and Peeled Paint along the sides for a realistic color.  I stamped the leaves repeatedly, overlapping in areas.  I went back and partially stamped the Script Background Stamp in the open areas.  

Here is an closeup of the background.  I added a small talk sticker with a sketchy outline.

I stamped the deer on a die cut circle and framed them with other dies, ribbon and flowers.  They overlap a strip of torn sheet music and wrapped twine.  Thank you so much for your visit today and I hope you leave inspired to create your own autumn beauty.
