Hi Everyone: Its February challenge time. Of course I'm entering one in Tim Holtz's 12 tags of 2014. I'm also entering this one in the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge) The rule for Simon Says this week is you have to use twine or string. So I'm entering my creation in both. For this challenge I used both green and brown twine. Stampers anonymous stamps, (Valentine blue print and a heart) pink chalk, grunge board (the glittered hearts) distress glitter-festive berries, distress stain pink raspberry; I mixed it with white gesso and applied it to my burlap canvas. distress ink worn lipstick and festive berries(both on the tag and the hearts on my burlap canvas. on the edge of the tag I used brushed corduroy distress ink. I used idea-ology ribbon on the bottom of the tag and inked it with pink raspberry distress stain. I also used idea-ology cream and red trim as a way to hang my canvas. on the tag i also used clear distress embossing ink and antiquities frosted crystals embossing powder. this was fun because I tried something a little different. hope you enjoy

I love how you incorporated the burlap background. I love the rustic look of burlap. Can I ask how or where you got your TH hearts stencil from? My local store says that they aren't out for sale till closer to summer. ??? Yet I see them being already used by designers posting their projects using the stencil. Hmmmm.... You did a great job!
