Tim Holtz tag:November Anniversary

Today is my 15th Wedding Anniversary to 

the love of my life:  Raymond and inspired

by the November tag by Tim Holtz 

I made this tag my Anniversary tag:

Thank you, my dear, for 

15 wonderful years

I want to share with you how I made this tag:

Things I used:

tag

corrugated card board

distress paint and spray

versamark, clear embossing powder

Michael Strong heart stamp

I started with stamping the heart stamp on the tag

with versamark and adding clear embossing powder.

Then heating it with the heatgun.

On apiece of scrap paper (larger then the tag) I stamped

the heart stamp in red. This way I could see the lines well

and cut out the heart.

The open heart was laid over the stamped tag for

the placement of the heart and I cut the scrap paper

exactly the size of the tag.Now i put it on the corrugated

bord and after tracing the heart with a pencil, 

I cut out the heart in the board.

Now to color the tag with the direct to paper technique.

Adding color on my craft sheet and spraying it with water,

the palette is ready for coloring.

Put the tag face down on the craft sheet to add the color.

You need to do this a few times for a complete

covering of the tag.

Tag ready for the next step.

Corrugated card bord is next to

get ready by starting to tear some of the 

paper of the tag.

Coloring the board with festive berries on top

and around the tag.

Finishing it of with red and gold distress spray.

When tag and board are completely dre I glued

them together and decorated the tag

with the ticket, the numbered paper clips,

an arrow and some red tinsel twine.

On top a red ribbon and a clock for I hope

we will have lots more time together!

Thanks for looking!

Have a creative day!
