Love is in The Air


Here's the tag I made for my husband for Valentines Day. There has been a little method in my madness, as this also doubles up as my entry into the Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2013 Challenge. I hope my husband doesn't mind but after nearly 33 years of marriage I think he knows me well enough by now! It's a bit different from Tim's in that I don't have many of the supplies he used, so I had to put my thinking cap on. I must say I love the stamp he used this month and would like to add his Valentine set to my collection, along with all the other new goodies that have recently caused such a stir!. This tag was firstly swooshed, with a mixture of Fired Brick DI and Tarnished Brass distress stain before being embossed in my Cuttlebug. I then added the embossed and sanded Kraft Core strip. One of the hearts was hand cut from a glittery Christmas gift tag and the other from a piece of left over embossed foil tape, which has been coloured with alcohol ink. I then finished off with a few embellishments, a calendar page, a strip of diamante and die cut lace. This tag also fits the brief for the Lacey Heartsy Valentine Challenge over at Frilly and Funkie so that will be my next stop.x
