pink waxed hearts

my hearts tag is a long thin one measuring 18 x 6 cm
covered with original vintage sheet music and lace
and features a couple of sweethearts ... a young boy and girl

I made this tag at the same time as my lace tag so while I had my wax stuff out I dipped the photo in wax to highlight the colours and give it a nice vintage look

the words on the sheet music read ...

"that I love you with all my heart"
"que je t'aime de tout mon couer"

I cut out three hearts from pale pink mulberry paper
and dipped them in wax so they are translucent
and very delicately fine ... I attached them with glue

and at the bottom I printed some text on vellum
tore the edges and added little pink flowers

thank you all for playing along on Tag Tuesday
your tags are so original and inspiring ♥

best wishes, Carolyn
