Tags of 2013 February

Hello Everyone, just a very quick post to show you my Tag for February.  I did not have the queen of hearts stamp so I hand copied it with a pencil onto card and went over this with a pen so it looked a bit like a stamp! (I think) I then coloured it with DI s and went over the top of it with crackle glaze although it is not very clear in the photo.  The main tag was dry embossed with a 3d heart emboss folder and distressed with Spun Sugar, Festive Berries and  Aged Mahogany and dabbed with a little Brushed Pewter stain here and there.  The edges were distressed and coloured with Aged Mahogany. The heart band on the top was metal tape over card and punched out with a small heart punch. It was  embossed with a tool, painted with black acrylic and then laid over the top of more metal tape so the hearts show through.  The black border is cut from vintage lace decorative strip. The Heart on the bottom was just a plain metal one I had in my stash and I used a red pro-marker to colour around the middle layer.  I hand wrote I heart you on it although again this is not very clear.  It is held on with bakers twine and behind that is a heart emboss (free with the old style cuttlebug) embossed on colorcore card from the whitewash collection and sanded back. The black card at the back is embossed, sanded   and dabbed again with a little Brushed Pewter.  The February arrow was taken from a dictionary.  It was finished with Tape,  paper covered wire twisted into spirals, and a queen from my dymo machine (hey that rhymes:)) Hope you like my efforts.
