Hi! Welcome to the Rachel Jefferies Mixed Media Challenge for October. This month’s challenge is inspired by nature and artsy tags.

October Challenge:
Fall is one of my favorite times of the year for rich colors and textures. A pile of leaves, berries and nuts on the ground, intense yellows, reds and oranges in every imaginable shade – the season is a smorgasbord of sensations. When I first began crafting, I loved creating artsy tags. I would mix inks, paints, fabrics, leaves, buttons, and more to create a mini art statement. And I would often draw from nature for my inspiration.
For our October challenge, I am challenging you to create a layout inspired by nature and tags! I’ve created a Pinterest Board full of inspiration. https://www.pinterest.com/divamom96/nature-and-texture-and-berries-oh-my/ ) You can create an artsy tag, card or layout, inspired by the Pinterest Board, but you must incorporate a tag into the project. Rachel has graciously offered this FREEBIE to use if you wish.
Have fun with this - be imaginative! Rachel's kits have the perfect elements and colors for this challenge, and I'll bet you even have some of them in your stash!
Rachel’s signature pocket card kits are a treasure trove of elements and ideas. A couple of my favorites are:


Rachel’s collections are full of rich colors, nature elements and cards. Here are a few that might inspire you:
