Good morning! This is Beatriz from Amazing Grace and today  is my turn to design for The Bug Bytes. I made fall leaves using metal tape. Here is what you do:
  1. Cut some leaves out of metal (aluminum) repair tape using the Tim Holtz Tattered Leaves die.  Leave the backing on the tape until you're ready to place them on your page.  (The tape I have is only 2" wide so I had to "repair" one side of the maple leaf to make it look right.

2. Emboss the leaves with the Cuttlebug to give them some texture.


3. Apply a few drops of alcohol ink to each of the leaves and spread it out using alcohol blending solution in a water pen.  (Be careful as excess blending solution can cause the backing paper to release from the aluminum tape.)


Here they are on a layout.


On a tag.


Voila! Here is the full layout.  Hope you enjoyed this tutorial and will inspire you to make your own.


Thank you Pam for having me one more time and thank you for all your hard work too. Have a great and blessed day everyone!
