Love Hangtag Magnet

Have been busy working in the studio making art for me, and for the upcoming online store. One of things I created was something new for me: Hangtag Magnets. They are magnets made from altered hangtags. I am loving them! The first one I created is called Love. I’m also using this for today’s challenge at Tag Tuesday, the theme of which is Faces.

I started with a plain hangtag, which is 1-1/2″ x 3-1/4″, and I grungy’d that up with my own grungy sauce mix. Then I used a soft copper metallic ink and stamped on a doily design for some texture. Next I distressed the edges with some Distress Ink. Then I took an inchie size vintage photo of couple and adhered it to some distressed cardstock paper. I finished it off with the word love and a golden rhinestone gem.

I’m going to do a whole series of these…some for my new store, and some just for me (and friends!). So fun to make.
