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!
