With not much time left to enter a Vintage Valentine challenge, I decided to do a tag (which will later be turned into a topper for next years Valentines day).
Over at the Gecko Galz hang out on Facebook one challenge was red & pink and another was to use Heather Hudson's freebie design sheet..... So yesterday afternoon I printed the sheet off and set too. This morning I faffed and fiddled with various layouts, bits of ribbon, lace, pearls and hearts till I came up with something along the lines of want I wanted. Out came the glue.
Sorry its a bit dark but the lighting isn't very good.
I fussy cut the girl out the middle of the heart, then cut the border of the heart out so each was a standalone image.
At the last minute I decided to go mad and totally cover the heart border with pearls, happy with the effect. Then i decided to use clear nail varnish on the rose to make it look a bit dewy. This needed two coats to give it the finished effect i wanted.
Ta-da, finally finished.
Went to upload my tag and realised I'd forgot to add an actual Gecko Galz image. Duh!!
Oh well, I really enjoyed making the tag - and that's what counts.
