Several years ago I bought this tag at a discount store. I loved the design, the texture, the colors, everything! I’ve used it a couple of times now as inspiration.
The first time was for a Christmas atc swap on the Pennywise Arts Yahoo Group. I made 50 of them!
Last week I used it to jump start some Valentine tags. My friend Julie Imsland came to craft with me so she made one too. I always like to see the subtle differences when different people do the same project.
| This one is mine: |
We both used the “Roses Are Red 1” collage sheet from the Pennywise website for our rose background paper. There are lots of gorgeous images to choose from! I used red and gold opaque micro beads on my heart and Julie used ultra fine clear micro beads on her bird.
Now look closely at the hearts:
| The one from the purchased tag is crimped one way. |  |
 | Julie showed me that if you fold your heart in half and put it through the crimper you get lines going in two directions |
| If you fold it in half and put it in the crimper another way the lines will go upward. I can’t remember which is which but one of us put the point in first and the other put the rounded end in first. |  |
If this design inspires you too, please share a photo of what you make! If I get it before February 7th and if I get at least 12 entries to share, I will be awarding one of my heart charms to a lucky participant!
