I love Tim's beautiful Valentine's tag and it occurred to me that my finished tag would be the perfect addition to a 12x12 scrapbook page for my family genealogy album.
I used 140lb watercolour paper for my tag base and followed Tim's technique remix instructions on his blog.
I did add a bit of Old Paper Distress crackle paint with a palette knife in a few spots.
My focal point was a chipboard heart I cut with my Sizzix Heartfelt Die - I used Dried Marigold Distress Paint to colour it. I stamped the names of my great grandparents on a banner diecut that I layered over the heart.
I used the Linked Hearts Charm from Emerald Creek that I embossed with gold embossing powder.
Thanks for dropping by my blog today!
