Lots of Love

This week, the challenge on StampTV MIUM is to make a tag. It can be part of a card, or a stand alone tag. I am also entering this card in Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Love is in the Air and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes.

I started with the tag. I had seen this idea on Pinterest, but have no idea where, so I can't give any credit. I cut thin strips of patterned paper and punched a small heart out of the end of each. The strip has to be the same width as the punch to give this effect. I stamped the sentiment, sponged the edges, attached the patterned paper and threaded the ribbon through the top.

To make the card, I stamped the image randomly over the card and embossed it with clear embossing powder. I sponged over the background, but didn't wipe off the embossed parts. This gives a darker look than the paper. I had a border that I received in a prize bag that I won, so I sponged the edge of the card and placed the border over top. I attached the tag and the card was finished!
