Grungy Monday - Tim Holtz Valentine Tag

I made this card for the Grungy Monday Challenge. The challenge is to use a Tim Holtz technique from the 12 Tag of Christmas on a non-Christmas item. So I chose to use several of the techniques I used on the tags on this Valentine's Tag - the main technique I used on the heart is the way he treated the snowman on this tag. The sponsor of Grungy Monday is Simon Says Stamp a great place to get Tim Holtz items. Thanks for taking a look!



For this tag I used Valentine paper from the Tim Holtz seasonal paper pack. I inked the edges with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink and sprayed it with Interference Red Pearl Mist For the bottom I punched grunge paper with a scallop border, covered it with Fired Brick Distress Stain and then put Fired Brick Distress Stickles on it (you can't really see the sparkles in the photo). Then I put 7 Gypsies buttons on the scallop trim. 

I die cut the Valentine on grunge paper and covered it with Worn Lipstick Crackle Paint. When it dried I covered the heart with Fired Brick Distress Stain. For the numbers I covered chipboard numbers with Spun Sugar Distress Stickles and adhered them to the heart. I adhered the heart to the tag with foam tape. I cut out the XO from paper pack, inked the edges with Work Lipstick Distress Ink and attached it to the tag with foam tape and added a Tim Holtz paper clip. I added ribbon and tulle to the top of the tag. Thanks for taking a look!!
