A tag...


 


Hello, it's been a while since I've had time to make something to join in with the challenge at 
Tag- along and ATC but now that things have calmed down I've had some time to play.
The stamp I used here is a very old one from PSX - it wasn't new when I bought it and I've had it for about 20 years, it's a wood backed rubber stamp and a little worn in places but still stamps well with a little coaxing! 
I cut 2tags, one from white and one from black cardstock, die cut the heart aperture in the black one, then stamped the bears on the white, I wiped the black ink off of the hearts first so when I stamped they were very faint and I could colour them with a red pen. The rest of the image was left uncoloured and the clouds stencilled lightly around it.. I used a crackle stamp around the edges. I stamped and white embossed the sentiment on the black tag, added a scrap of ribbon and a tiny heart brad and stuck it in place.

While I'm here, I'd like to thank everyone for all the lovely cards and good wishes I received for my birthday, so kind of you and very much appreciated, I was thoroughly spoiled. Just off out now to meet my family for lunch, so the spoiling continues! 
Thanks for visiting

Beautiful layout, the crackle stamped background so effective against the black and gorgeous stamped image
