TYIC#5 + Curtain Call Lovely Leaves + JUGS257

I am popping in with a quick tag card inspired by the Tag You're It! Challenge #5, the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: September 1 - Lovely Leaves and Just Us Girls #257 Word Week: Leaves.






I'm having fun with my new watercolor paints and used the Curtain Call colors to create a panel of yellow, orange, red, pink & purple. Once dry, the Lawn Fawn leaves were die cut from the panel.




While waiting for the watercolor to dry,  the tag was die cut from a soft gray cardstock and stamped with a cracked paint background stamp to add a little texture.




The largest leaf is popped up on the tag and then the tag mounted on the card base. All the leaves are curled slightly and only adhered in the center as they fall down the side of the card.




A feathery fiber finishes the tag off.

This is my first time entering a challenge at Just Us Girls, but when I saw Bobby's post as the September Guest Designer, I couldn't resist.

On a completely different note, I love San Diego weather reports. What you might call "fog", we call "marine layer" and what you call "humidity" we call "monsoonal moisture". Well, my dear husband and I are braving today's monsoonal moisture to join the feasting & dancing at our local Greek Festival. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie

  1. I'm so glad you decided to join in the Just Us Girls challenge, Jacquie. Your card is perfect for all three challenges which is a coup in my book. I love your watercoloring and glad you are having fun with the paints. And those Lawn Fawn dies are to die for, pardon the pun.
