I made a tag with one of my dies.

I made the heart using Sculpey clay, - I rolled it out, then pressed in the Calligraphic Mat 12 into it and then cut out a heart free hand. I baked it following the packet instructions and then coloured it with Dylusions ink sprays and Distress inks.

The crown was made by stamping one of the crowns from the Crowning Glory set onto copper Mirri card with Jet Black Stazon Ink and once dry I cut it out and adhered it to the tag together with the hear. The tag was further embellished with some little flowers and and die cuts from my stash.

I have made a card which is almost unheard of for me!

 

 I made a flower using part of the Tim Holtz Tattered Flower die, and dipped it into clear UTEE to create a faux porcelain effect.

 

 

The hearts were made using red UTEE and Crafty Notions Heart mould. Add a small strip of rick rack ribbon, and the torn edge stamped with the mini polka dots background added a little extra effect.

 

 

We hope you will join in with this month's challenge and we're really looking forward to seeing your interpretation of our theme and all your amazing creations and artwork. Please, don't forget to add a comment when you post your entry.

Have a very creative month

hugs
