Love is still in the air for me this week as Valentines Day fast approaches. To see what the other design team members have been up to using the Hearts Entwined Stamp Set, click on the links over on the Creative Expressions page .....
These giant tags from Ranger are a fab size to work with. I trimmed down a kraft size 12 for the background which has been stamped with Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Classics #5 in Archival Ink (Jet Black) then coloured using Distress Inks (Walnut Stain).
The next layer is cardstock from the Canvas Home Basics 6x6 Paper Pad inking the edges again with Walnut Stain. The heart is from the Hearts Entwined stamp set which has been inked onto the same cardstock as before then trimmed to size. The heart is Embellish Your Art from Studio 490 which has been coloured using Distress Stain (Tarnished Brass).
The "Flourish Frame and Quote" are also from the above stamp set again using Jet Black & Walnut Stain. To add splashes of colour I have flicked Cosmic Shimmer Vintage Mist (Tarnished Gold) along with Dylusions Black Marble.
To finish off I added some Black Silky Crush Organza Ribbon, Bakers Twine and a metal key from the Fancy Key Charms pack.
I will be back soon with one final project using this months stamp sets.
Until then stay inky!

Gillian I really love this tag you made. I like how you didn't use the traditional pinks, reds and white for the valentine. It's really pretty and I adore it.

Hi Gillian,
Your tag is amazing, luv your attention to detail and for using "blue" on a Valentine. I always think one must be Traditional and go red!
Thanks for inspiring,
