Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Romance Tag using AALL & Create's Heartnook Die Set

Romance/weddings/anniversaries is this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme.  I made a tag using AALL & Create's Heartnook die set.

I started by cutting a tag out of Tim Holtz's Backdrops volume 4 paper.  I painted white over the tag, then added some colored acrylic paint mixed with just a bit of water that I smooshed around.

I added some white-dot stenciling, thanks to Tim Holtz's Gradient Dot stencil, and also stuck on some of Tim Holtz's floral linen tape.  I added some gray paint to the tag.  I cut a heart shape using AALL & Create's Heartnook die set and brought some pink and red paint to the party.  I cut and painted some rings and splat shapes that are also a part of the Heartnook set.

I assembled those elements together and wanted to add a scallop edge to the bottom, which I painted, cut out, then doodled on with a black pen.

Last but not least, I stamped the word "Love" inside the heart using a stamp from Simon's Printmaking Postage stamp set.
