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.

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Pastel Tag Book using Studio Light's Mini Zig Zag Journal Dies

"Light and Airy" (use pastel colors) is the challenge of the week over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog.  We're also featuring products from Studio Light.  I decided to whip out the Art by Marlene/Studio Light Mini Zig Zag Journal die set and see what I could do!

This ended up as a little fabric tag holder...or something of the sort.  I started out with the die set mentioned and Simple Stories' Color Palette paper.

Next I cut some tags and tore some fabric scraps.

I added paint to the tag book and also embossed some stamped images from Tim Holtz's Mixed Media 2 stamp set onto light blue paper that I added to the tops of the tag book.  I also cut some numbers using the Tim Holtz Sidekick Starter kit and added them to the bottom.

Here it is all folded up and tied together with another fabric scrap:
