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
Chris
