I made a cute little Valentine Tag to share today. This would make a great Valentine project to make with the kids or even a great one to give to that special someone this Valentine's Day!
Start
with a #8 manila tag and some mists. Fold the end of the tag (about 2
inches) and staple sides to form a pocket.
Spritz entire tag with multiple colors of mists (I used Imagine Crafts Fireworks in Angel Pink, Rose Bud, Lady Bug) and let dry or apply heat gun to speed dry time.
Ink
edges of tag with ink (Memento- grey flannel) and an ink blusher or dauber.
Punch
shapes from patterned paper (tags, regular & scalloped circles). Ink edges
of all shapes.
Take
a plain white ribbon rosette (393-25-01) and spritz with the multiple colors of mist.
Dab with paper towel to absorb some excess ink, sit aside to dry.
Cut
the ribbon from behind the rosette once it is dry, add ribbons to the tag. You can also add your paper embellishments and some coordinating stickers.
Thanks for stopping by! Now hop right along and see what Sandy has to share today!
