52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2019

The prompt for Week 7 is "Love"

For my tag, I started by raiding my box of patterned paper off-cuts.  I added a piece of paper tape measure then coated the patterned paper and measure with a thin wash of Gesso, just enough that the pattern on the paper could be seen.  I then inked the edges in black and red ink.

I used a paper coaster/doily and painted a thin wash of Distress Oxide "Old Paper" across the surface and positioned it on the tag.  Using co-ordinating papers, I layered them above the doily, cutting paper hearts with a punch.  I die cut the word "Love" using a Stampin' Up die from the "Expressions Thinlits" set.  

To finish I added a piece of ribbon to the base, a flower and die cut foliage to the top right and Nuvo sequins across the tag.
