Tag of Words

Hello Everybody!

If you are here to see my project for For Fun Challenges click here.  Otherwise- scroll on down and check out the the card I made with a different tag!

This project was inspired by 2 challenges.  At Frilly and Funkie the needed ingredient of this weeks challenge is Words.  Over at Simon Says Stamp and Show the needed ingredient for their challenge is a technique from Tim Holtz (also known as Lord Tim) :)  Thus this card was born...

Here's the inside.  Scroll down, and I'll show you some highlights.

The sentiment is from the computer and then I distressed it.  For the distressing I used rusty hinge, walnut stain, tattered rose, shabby shutters, and weathered wood.

Here is a close up of the tag.  I embossed a piece of blue Coredinations paper with one of Tim's embossing folders.  I rubbed walnut stain Distress ink over it.

On the main tag I used the resist technique.  I stamped this with versamark, used clear embossing powder, and heat embossed it-which I love doing-so magical!  I made the actual tag from the George cartridge on the Cricut.

Here is the finished heat embossing.

Then I took the 5 different Distress inks and put them on my mat.  I don't have a spray with water so I tried to used Tattered Angels.  It wasn't quite what I had in mind, but there was a glitter effect which was cool.  You can see the heat embossing through the ink which is so cool!

I just got my copy of Paper Crafts magazine and on page 37 Emily Branch made lace flowers for her beautiful card.  And I bought these Glubers a couple of months ago...

And I have lace...

Woo Hoo!  I LOVE this flower!  The pearl is from Making Memories.  Love. This. Flower.

So I have these stamps from Just Rite stamps from many many moons ago.  And they self ink and still work and I still love them.

So I stamped different words on a piece of white cardstock and distressed it with the same color inks I used for the tag.  I cut out words and that's when I realized I had extra words.  I put them on the inside.  I didn't plan on making an Anniversary card, but I am so glad that that is what I made.  Our anniversary is in a couple of weeks--and I'm prepared!  Or at least for the card part :)

Here's my card again.  The metal washer says destination.  The first word together is under a fragment so I like to think of this as Destination: Together.  I used my gold leaf pen to outline the outside of the card.  Oh!  And I put the words on a piece of kraft paper that I also distressed.  To balance out the tag I put the metal spiral opposite of my favorite flower.

I hope ya'll like this card as much as I do!  It was lots of fun to make!  Until next time my friends...get out your words and Tim Techniques--something fun awaits!  :)
