The Ultimate Challenge Blg Hop With Altenew




Hello!  Tag You're It! is participating in the Altenew Ultimate Challenge Blog Hop, there are lots of prizes to be won.  For more details go to Tag You're It. (click here).
  My first step in making this card was going through all of the previous Tag You're It! inspiration photos on our Pinterest board.  The tags that inspired me this time were created by Virginia Lu for the Tag You're It! Challenge #1.


I knew that I wanted to use fall colors and make a thank you card, Virginia's design inspired my card desgin. After finding inspiration I roughly sketched out my card design.  I than selected stamps and a die from my Altenew collection that would help me achieve my design.  I wanted to use fall colors and  a deep rich purple in particular, so to select two other colors I googled color combinations.  


I used the tag as the main focal point of my card.  I stamped and embossed the leaves than added color by water coloring.  I had used my Misti to stamp the tag and it worked well for being able to line up the images on the background.
Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the hop.  Please click here to return to the hop.
Stamps used:  Altenew "Freegform Greenery"
