Vintage Retro Valentine's Day Tags Collage sheet

Hello Friends!!

Happy Sunday!!

This week I actually went and looked up the challenge at 

the shabby tea room on Monday.  I actually designed the collage sheet on Monday, then put it all together Tuesday, but for once already had posts going everyday, so I waited to post them today.  Which is really is hard for me to "save" a post for a later date...LOL

Here is the inspiration photo from the tea room. 

 The challenge is called "Cute as a Button."  OMG...these little mittens are cute as a button!!

Here is my creation.  I found a cute image online, when I saw it I instantly thought of another one of my blogging buddies Shawn at Poetry in a pot of tea.  She knows everything about tea, so please check out her blog, she has lots of fun posts for you to enjoy.

Here is what I created.

I created the background paper, red polkadot paper and edited the image in GIMP.  Which is a FREE online program, similar to photoshop elements.  I have FREE tutorials on how to use it.  You can see all my tutorials on my Youtube here. 

Here is the collage sheet below.

You can purchase it in my Etsy for $2.50.  
You will be able to create 4 tags with this collage sheet, 2 large, 1 med and 1 small.  Here are some photos of the finished tags below.

Above is a close up of one of the large and the medium tags.  Below is the other large tag.

 Here is the cute little tag.

Here are some fun close ups of all the fabulous Ribbons and trims I used from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I love the red and white diagonal ribbon I used for the tag top above.

Peppermint baker's twine, white lace from the "Easter Egg Assortment," vintage buttons and red bling add to the vintage retro feel of my tags.

Above you  see more of the peppermint baker's twine, white lace, red leaves and pink polka dots grossgrain ribbon and below is a great close up of the red pom pom trim, and blue with white stars ribbon.

One last close up below.  I really love this blue ribbon with the stars from the Easter Egg Assortment.  I inked it with Ranger's Vintage Photo...and it is the perfect Robin's egg blue...gorgeous!!

I hope you enjoy my tags!!  

You can see them in my Youtube video here.
