Valentines Day is coming up soon! I know sometimes it's a lot of hype, when you should show your love every single day to those you care about, but it's fun to make a little handmade goodness to express your love, even if it's just one day a year...;0)!!! Here is a tag I made for
Ranger to display in their booth at trade shows, using yummy Glossy Accents!
|
I had a bunch of left over corrugated paper negative pieces cut from the Mini Hearts Movers & Shapers, so I used one on this project. I painted it with Aged Mahogany and Festive Berries Distress Paint, and filled it in with Glossy Accents directly onto my craft sheet. |
|
I added Festive Berries Distress Glitter while the Glossy Accents was still wet, and left it to dry on my craft sheet over night. The next day, I just
loosened it from the craft sheet, and the Glossy Accents was hardened
and just stayed in place. COOL! |
|
I covered a Ranger #8 Manila tag with Postale Tissue Wrap using Multi Matte Medium. |
|
Using the Hearts Stencil from Tim Holtz, I stenciled in the hearts with Glossy Accents. This is such a versatile product. I let this dry about an hour. |
|
I added an Idea-ology Heart Charm to the center of a Collage Key, filled this in with Glossy Accents, and sprinkled a little Festive Berries Distress Glitter into the Glossy Accents. I left this to dry along with the corrugated heart. |
|
I stamped the wings from the Mini Ornates set from Stamper's Anonymous onto Silver Cardstock, using Jet Black Archival, and heat embossed it with Clear Embossing Powder. |
|
After the heart stenciled Glossy Accents was dry, I inked the tag with Festive Berries and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. The Glossy Accents acts as a resist and hearts are now visible. |
|
I added the wings to the corrugated heart, added the Idea-ology Stenciled numbers and Long Fasteners to that, and embellished the tag with an Industrious Border and Arrow, and inked the tag with Jet Black. |
|
I tied jute around the heart, added the key with a jumpring, and secured the heart onto the tag using Black Foam Tape. |
