So, this altered art stuff is quickly becoming my new addiction. I am so loving it! I decided I wanted to make another altered hangtag. This one is called First Kiss.
I started with a good and grungy hangtag. Then I added a vintage image of some tiny tots having their first kiss–this image was the inspiration for the whole project, of course. I just couldn’t resist it! I cut a small splice in the photo behind the little girl, and I inserted some butterfly wings for a fairy nice effect. Then I Mod Podged the image to the hangtag.
Next I added two stickers, one that looks like a stamp, and the other is the yellow flower. I thought the yellow flower would help tie into the butterfly wings a bit more. Then I added the word “first” at the top of the image (that was part of a sticker too).
Next I needed to create the letters for the word “kiss.” I stamped them onto grungy card stock then cut them out. Then I used Tim Holz Distress Ink to distress the edges of each one. And then I glued each letter to the tag.
The final step was to punch two small holes near the top of the tag, so that I could add some black ribbon. I think I need to make a bunch more hangtags…and then maybe sell them? I find it so difficult to sell artwork I created that I really like. But who knows.
