Hi everyone. Happy February 14th. If you celebrate Valentine's Day, I hope you enjoy yours. I'm not a big celebrator of this holiday, but I love the shape of hearts. Even though I don't use that shape all the time, today I have a lot of them in my art. 😉
Since Valerie's challenge at Tag Tuesday is Valentine's Day, let me share another tag I made.
I find red a color that doesn't always photograph as well as it looks in person, but I still like this playful tag.
The background started with some pink ink, and then I dropped a couple of drops of red re-inker. I then sprayed the tag with water to moved the drops around, and I also held up the tag and rotated it a bit to make a nice grungy background.
I used a heart chain punch (an oldie from Martha Stewart Crafts) to punch out the upside hearts along the bottom. I also punched some out of pink paper and layered them along the bottom. I added the tiny confetti hearts inside each one.
The 2 bigger hearts are die cuts, as is the SWAK. I added some hot pink sparkle to the bigger hearts, and also used a Sharpie and a white pen to create the border around them. The quote is an old stamp from Impression Obsession.
My other piece of art is a journal page I actually made last month for my calendar challenge and then never had time to share. I am going to share it with Vicki's Keeping It Light challenge at Art Journal Journey because that bride's smile looks like it would light up a room. Now the groom on the other hand, he must be a shy guy and not like to pose for photos. Hopefully (since it's Valentine's Day) he's not having second thoughts already.
If candy and sweets are your thing for Valentine's Day, how about sweets from Honeyduke's Candy Shop at Harry Potter World in Universal Studios.
They're not exactly Valentine's Day traditional, I know. It was very tempting to buy a treat when I visited, but a butter beer ice cream was on my menu for later in the day. 😏
Have a great LOVEly day.
