Fading golden woods

 

The final warmth of summer slips away,
Leaving russet gold and long shadows.
The earth grows quiet, drawing inward,
To whisper a slow goodbye.

Hello lovelies, 'hope you are well! today I am sharing a mixed media tag that I have created with an autumn theme.

To create my tag I have used kraft cardstock as a base. Next I adhered these fabulous halloween decay leaf papers from Cheryl Francis art. I have also used these wonderful distressed brown & gold papers from digital curio.

Next I added this beautiful raccoon image; Such a sweet little guy, don't you think?! I have also added some gold leaf to certain places on my tag to give it some more interest.

I adhered a vintage postage stamp including a smaller raccoon image.

To finish I added some word labels which I designed myself.

I hope that I have inspired you to create your own autumn mixed media tags!
