Last week, the hubs and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary! It's hard to believe it's been that long already, and harder to believe that I love him more and more each with each passing year! Here's the tag I made for him.
 |
| I added the Vintaj Copper Metal-pressions to a manila tag, dry embossed it with Tim's Sizzix Pocket Watch Texture Fade, and then covered the whole thing with Claudine Hellmuth's Gesso. |
 |
| A covered the tag with Ranger's Pitch Black Alcohol Ink, sanded it, and then covered it with Glue N Seal. The rest was just basically embellishing it with lots of metal. |
Supplies:
I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!
Happy anniversary to you both. That is a stunning tag.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I love the rusty embellishments! Great tag!

ReplyDeleteFirstly, congratulations on your 20 years together! May you have many more wonderful years together too. Your tag is fabulous, it really does look like it is made from metal and I love all the embellishments you have added to it, the alpha tiles are perfect and the hinged piece looks amazing. A great manly tag! Thank you for your wonderful inspiration this year and I hope you and yours have a very Happy New Year! Hugs, Anne x

ReplyDeleteOK, first things first: Happy Anniversary! 20 years is such a milestone....well done! Now...are you freakin' kidding me? That's PAPER????? I totally thought it was art metal or foil. What a stunning effect! I love the dimension and depth of the background and the way you used the metal embellishments here. Clever to use Roman Numerals for the "20" as well. Just love it to bits and pieces...and love you, too! Hope you get to hold on to one another for another 20++ years! xoxo
