Beside posting my tag for 12 Tags of 2015-February, I am also entering my "Key to My Heart" tag into Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog H is for... Obviously, H is for key to my "H"eart.
First, positioning all the materials. Using any type of adhesive you have to seal it. I used mod podge. | After putting all the pieces together, I started sanding around the edges to create a more rustic look. You can also see how I created the number 14 by using a 10 and a 4 poker cards in the second picture. |
I used Tim Holtz's distress Paint Picket Fence and one of the most practical tool that I possess - my fingers to paint the edge of the tag and around the pictures. | The next step is darken the tag a little bit by using distress ink black soot and aqua pen. Apply the ink and just use fingers to brush around it. |
Starting to put the second layer to the tag. I have decided to omit some of the stuff that I have chosen in the first place. I think these are good enough. | Attached the Word Bands with Long Fasteners, both from Tim Holtz's idea-ology. I love the phrase! The vintage slide frame is also in place. |
Since I don't have the arrow, I found two roses and a Locket key that will look great with this tag. Instead of using wire, I have decided to go with brown waxed cotton cord to attach the key to the roses. | The heart is bit plain so I wanted to add some texture on the top. I used staples to create those Xs and I love the look of it. You can see I have also practiced it on the scrap paper. Practice makes perfect. ^^ |
Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day. Happy Valentines and see you soon~
