The Family Valentines

You might be glad that Valentine's Day is over, so you don't have to see anymore of my cards, but I have four more to show you, and then that is it until next year...well, except for Tim's 12 Tags of 2012 monthly challenge Valentine tag, but that is for next week!!! These four tags are the ones I made for my own family this year (thought you might like to see the fam), and simultaneously for Our Creative Corner's color challenge theme of "black and white with a splash of another color", hosted by Tui Nathan. Through your hat in, and create something that follows the color challenge and link up. You can visit the other OCC designer's gorgeous creations as well, and drop them a comment. They would so appreciate that.

I am also submitting this to Grungy Monday's challenge of "a Tim style Valentine", and the Sunday Stamper's challenge of "love".
This is Hubby's.
The black tag was first misted with Perfect Pearls, and then stamped with Tim's Love Definition image in Silver StazOn. The sentiment was also stamped with the silver. Red velvet fabric is backing the sentiment, and then backed again with a white doily.  Flourishes, rhinestones, an accoutrement button, lace (paper and foil), and wire adorn the tag.
 
These are the kid's Valentines. I love these stickers from Tim's Seasonal Salvage Sticker Book. The initials are backed by a white doily that I cut out and misted with Forever Red Perfect Pearl Mist.
 
 
Supplies:
Wilton: doily
32 Degrees North: Dresden Foil Lace
The Paper Studio: Spare Parts Metal Sticker Letters
From My Stash: red velvet material, wire, rhinestone hearts, metal scrap, white cardstock



I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!

  9. Hello Anita
    First what a beautiful family you have, I can see you are very proud of them.
    Now to your little Tags, Hubby's is just gorgeous, I like the subtleness of the Black, and your Scroll is an element that always looks so effective on Tags.
    Your mini ones are just delightful, putting the initial on each one makes it their own, is this a tradition in your House? I hope they are all saved as they are special and would be wonderful keepsakes to look at in years to come.
    Smiles:)
