Hearts


Hearts- so many brilliant tags already posted this week! I had so many ideas and having started a few, I settled on posting this one - a tree with tiny heart shaped button "leaves". I have been making a few cards like this using old buttons and card tree shapes. The background of this tag is coloured with permanent markers and alcohol was sprayed over the page, resulting in this painterly effect. Then, over the top of a few pencil strokes and a repeated stamped saying, the painted tree shape was glued , the buttons sewn into place and the tag finally tied with silk ribbons. Again , this is a simply made tag.
Congratulations to all - I admire your beautiful work in the stunning "hearts' tags already posted.
