Hands on Heart

Hi all, just popping on with my entry for the DragonsDream Tag It On and the challenge was Hand(s), vellum, brown!!!!  I know I completely hadn't got a clue what I was going to do but the best thing about this challenge is it's so fun fun fun, I just went with an idea I had and over the last few days it grew into the tag it is lol :-).  So the idea was if they wanted a hand I was going to use my hand!!!! yep lol at first I tried the gelli plate but it didn't take, but I did like the mix of browns and copper so I loaded the plate up, had a good squiggy with my hand and on the Kraft tag it went (I did one on manila but I didn't like it).  Then I added some distress stains and left it be.  Last night I had another play and started doing backgrounds in all sorts of different browns using a brilliance inkpads.  By this time I had sort of a plan.  I embossed the heart on vellum then on the back I used a ball tool and gently went in between all the swirls in the heart.  Then I distressed it and added UTEE clear around the edge.  I went back to the tag and started more heat embossing on the background and more stamping. And this afternoon I started doing all the add ons and yep this is my tag.
Quick reminder don't forget I have candy which is the first post you come to :-)

My theme was the playground saying

Hands on heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye

EEK how horrible lol but it meant you was saying the truth.

But to add a twist, I wanted it to be about ART as I have had

such fun, not caring about what I use (not DT work) just pure ME time.

Proof of hand print :-)

Right I better be off, need to enter before it runs out.  I have got a DT post that hasn't popped up on Sunday so think it's lurking in draft, I shall be back later or tomorrow with it :-)
Happy Crafting, Lots of hugs, Kezzy xxx
