I decided to make some heart shaped tags this month and, even if I say so myself, I think they turned out super cute! I used a fun cat and dog image from Gina K Designs and coloured them so that they looked vaguely like my Willow and Wesley. Lots of ink blending, stamping, colouring and stencilling later and voila they were complete. I hope you like them.
Here are my tags:
A closer look at the details:
I decorated the backs very simply this time:
I began by die cutting 4 of the larger pink hearts, so that I could adhere them back to back later, and 6 of the white smaller hearts, so that I could layer them up. I used a heart stencil and using a pink ink pad created a subtle design to the pink hearts. I used a romantic script background stamp to add some interest to the white hearts using a light grey ink pad. I adhered the stencilled pink heart and the plain pink heart back to back with liquid glue and stacked 3 white hearts together, also with liquid glue. I stamped, coloured and die cut the cute animals and also die cut one more from plain white card so that they could have a little dimension. I stamped the same sentiment for both tags and die cut an additional 4 plain white ones so that I could layer each one 3 times. Lots of subtle dimension on these tags. I adhered everything together with liquid glue. I die cut some tiny hearts from pink card that I ink blended over with the pink ink pad and added three to each tag. For the backs I simply added a slightly smaller white tag with liquid glue and added a few of the ink blended hearts to the bottom of the tag. I used my crop-a-dile to cut a hole through all the layers of my tag and threaded through some ribbon and twine.
