Blooming Heart

Hello! 
 
It's time for another challenge over at Digi Darla's Challenges, and this week's theme is Challenge #62 - "Tag... You're It" which means to use a tag either on your card or as your project.  One winner will receive 5 Digi Darla images, and any entries using a DD image get entered into a SECOND drawing for 3 images, so you could conceivably win 8, yes, eight Digi Darla images!  It's happened before!

 If you use a Digi Darla image, make sure after you link up to add DD with your name so we won't miss you! 

You have until May 19, 9:00 PM EST, to link up to the Digi Darla website.

My project today is a tag that I made for my daughter's college graduation gift (which was this past Friday - hooray!).



I used DD Blooming Heart from the DD website, and Congratulations from the Bonus Area.  You can see that the heart is shiny.  I first colored it with chalks, inked the edges, then applied several layers of Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (UTEE), after which I cracked it in several places and applied distress ink to the entire surface.  After wiping off the distress ink with a damp paper towel, you can see where it penetrated the cracks.


I marbelized the tag base, painted some flourishes with shimmer paints, also painted a tiny rose with more shimmer paint, then put it all together with a big fat seam binding bow and some brown and beige pearls.

And that, lovely readers, is my project for the day.  I do hope we see you over at the Digi Darla challenge blog.

Happy crafting!
