Good morning everyone and welcome to the February Challenge for Craft Hoarders Anonymous! This month you may create a Valentine, anniversary, wedding or other love-themed project for this challenge. You can create something that has the word "Love" on it. So go digging around on your shelves and in those drawers and find those hoarded hearts and pink sequins and papers that you have been saving for the perfect project and let's play!
I love making tags and this one used several things that have been hoarded by me for a while now. I love dies and am always checking under cushions for pennies to save so I can purchase a new die here and there. I started with a tag cut from a die I have had in my stash for awhile. Then I ran it through my embossing machine with an embossing folder for texture. I sponged some distress ink on the tag and then sprayed it with my homemade shimmer spray to soften the color and to give it a bit of shine. That gorgeous heart is also a hoarded die and the image inside the heart is a free one I found online. I just printed it off and cut it out to fit inside the heart. Next I cut out my flower petals and leaves and colored them with more inks and after they were shaped I added Glossy Accents to add some shine. The banner with the sentiment is also a hoarded die and one I use often. Then to finish off the tag I used white seam binding and colored it with ink to match my tag and scrunched it. Once dry it made the perfect topper for my tag.
Now come join us and show us your creation! You have until midnight PT on 3-8-2015 to create a project and link it to the Craft Hoarders Anonymous blog. I look forward to seeing what you create!

This is really lovely. The glossy flowers & leaves, although strong, actually draw attention to the heart and image. Like the subdued pink.
Hello Glenda,,
A really super "tag" loving those fantastic glossy flowers.
Pretty image and great design

Breathtaking tag, love the flower...hope, fingers crossed you will do a tutorial on how to make it. I love making flowers, hint, hint, hint.
This is just....WOW! That flower looks like it is made of porcelain! It is just the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen. I hope that some day I can make a flower as lifelike and beautiful as yours. The whole tag is perfection...the composition, the colors, the heart framed image....just glorious!
