12 Tags Of 2013 - February

Happy Love Day Crafters!!! I hope you all eat your fill of tasty chocolates and stop to smell the roses while spending quality time with those you love! I'm spending time with the family, as it's my hubby's birthday! He is my cupid! However, I couldn't let the day go by without posting my February tag for 2013.

It is basically the same as Tim's, with only a few minor tweaks. It's Jumbo (#10 sized), has added Stickles, has some added Tissue Tape, has an added heart in the charm, the Queen is on Specialty Stamping Paper instead of Watercolor Paper, and the finger is solo. I just have to say, again, how much I love the Blueprint Stamps from Tim and MJ3! All of them are so fun! Coloring them in with Distress Markers is therapy for me, and Stickles where icing on the cake!

 

 

This is the tag I am giving my husband for his birthday/Valentine's Day that I made way back when. You might remember it from my Dylusions Perfect Splatter Video. I've been saving it for him all this time.

Here are the cards I made for my kids. I think they will like the staches!

 

And here are a few last minute cards made.

I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!

My Crafty Heart

As part as my Design Team duties for The Crafty Scrapper, I was given a blank Maya Road Canvas Heart to alter any way I desired, although I had to add a picture of myself and a few words about what Art means to me. This is what I came up with, and boy did I have a blast making it!

I stained it all up first with Aged Mahogany, Black Soot, and Vintage Photo, with a few mists of water.

I stamped the dots in Tarnished Brass Metallic Distress Stain. The sentiment was stamped first in Jet Black Archival and heat embossed in Gold Tinsel and then restamped in Jet Black. Next came lots and lots of metal, material, and embellishments.

It's a little hard to read what it says, as I think I should have let things dry a little better, but it's Wendy's sentiment which I think fits how I feel perfectly, "Let what you LOVE be what you do." I love Art! So I am also submitting this to the Everything Wendy Yahoo Group's Making Art Challenge for "4 Letter Word". Since it's a heart and it's the season for hearts I might as well submit it to The Artist Stamper Creative Team Blog Challenge for "Hearts & Flowers", Sunday Stamper for "Love & Hearts", and for the "Ribbon" to Unruly Paper Arts Reader Art Quest 1.
