Faceted Hearts Tag

Hi friends! Yesterday we went to look at the Sakura trees flowering, which is always a sign of spring. And today I have a pink and purple tag to share.

This week we have a Use more than one stencil theme at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. I hope you will take out those stencils and join us! Don't miss the project by our April guest designer Thom Santilla.  

I made a tag with five dimensional faceted hearts and used two different stencils for the background. I used Tim Holtz Vault Rosettes for the hearts and the two stencils are Tim Holtz Sparkle Fade and Simon Says Stamp Snowfall and Banks.

Start with a tag cut from watercolor paper and build up layers of Distress Ink. Smear ink on craft sheet, mist with water and press the paper into the ink. Let dry and repeat. Use a little Distress Oxide ink at the end.

Ink Simon Says Stamp Pepita Background with Wilted Violet. Mist with water 3-4 times and stamp.

Apply paint with a sponge through Simon Says Stamp Snowfall and Banks.

Die cut hearts using Tim Holtz Vault Rosettes. I used papers from Tim Holtz Pink Palette and Red Palette 8x8 in paper packs.

Fold and score the lines. Ink with Distress Ink.

Mist the tag with Distress Spritz Saltwater Taffy through Tim Holtz Sparkle Fade stencil. It will give a beautiful shimmer. Also mist the hearts. 

Assemble the hearts.

I added Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling Opal Gems to the tag, and three Tim Holtz Small Talk stickers for sentiments.

Distress the edge of the tag and add a line with a white gel pen.

When die cutting the hearts, place the die so that the text on the front of the heart is the right way around. Test on scrap paper first. 

I added a little bit of cheese cloth under each heart.

Here you can see the shimmer from the Distress Spritz better.

Each heart has a different pattern and a different shade of pink.

You can of course also use the techniques for a card.
