Watercolor Hearts Tag

Hello stampers! Today I have a tag to share with lots of hearts and fun watercoloring.

I wanted a tag filled with hearts, using products from Simon Says Stamp To Love release. I designed most of these products and had particularly looked forward to using the stamps with the hearts in different sizes from the Retro Hearts set. I used watercolors to color both the background, the hearts and the title.

White emboss Simon Says Stamp Outline Hearts on a tag cut from watercolor paper.

Paint with watercolor paint and let the paints run into each other.

Paint the hearts with the same watercolor paints as used on the background.

Die cut the hearts with the coordinating dies. Die cut one more time from Simon Says Stamp Navy Cardstock.

White emboss the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Love Letter and watercolor with the same paints. Let the colors blend into each other.

Die cut with the coordinating Love Letter dies. 

I tied the tag with a mix of organza ribbons and a piece of fiber.

I stamped and die cut the arrows from Love Letter. 

The hearts are a fun way to test different color combinations. The hearts were adhered with Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Perfect Foam Tape. 

I also glued Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling Opal Gems to the tag. When you combine watercolors and heat embossing you can get surprising effects as the paint can pool inside our around the the embossed design.

The smaller sentiments come from Simon Says Stamp Love Letter and Lined Heart.

Distress the edges of the tag.

Thank you for visiting!

Happy crafting!
