The background was a mix of gray and red distress stain sprays which became very pink when watered down. :)
I misted on the craft mat and blended and smeared the paper through the inks. I repeated multiple times. After it dried I sprinkled on red and silver again over the surface.
I stamped the word love using silver ink along the left side.
I used the Valentine's layering stencil with Wendy Vecchi black embossing paste over the misted background.
After that I decided to use the flowers leftover from my cherry tree the other week on my tag. I stamped the couple and the word cherish on leftover background from the original tag. I punched a series of hearts and sponged them with red ink and mixed them in the flowers.

The hearts, flowers and bling sprinkled over the surface of your tag gives me the impression of many tiny kisses. This is a really charming creation. I will miss seeing your work on SSS but wish you much happiness as you pursue your new beginnings. Thanks for all your inspiration.
