Valentine's Tag

Hi All, 

I hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday - I'm pleased the snow that was forecast didn't materialize in the end!

Today I made a Valentine's tag for my husband - this will be our first Valentine's day as a married couple :)  Although we don't usually make a big deal of Valentine's day we do exchange cards.

So here is the tag I made for him:

I used my Tim Holtz tag and bookplate die to cut the tag and the bookplate from white card, I then used dylusions in bubblegum pink, sunshine orange and postbox red with water to smoosh the tag, the bookplate and another piece of card for the heart.  I used sequin waste with water and a white paint dabber on the tag background and then stamped a crackle stamp from indigoblu in gold and bronze ink.  The heart is by papermania and was stamped in black versafine and cut out, I used this same stamp on the bookplate.  I added the sentiment from Tim Holtz stickers and then added the bookplate on foam pads, then attached two screw brads.  The heart was also mounted on foam pads and I used the sunshine orange to colour in the flowers in the heart.  I added black soot distress ink around the edges of the tag and the heart then used the same dylusions colours to dye a piece of ribbon and added the bow on top.

I would like to enter my tag in the following challenges:
