A TAG !

I just LOVE these stamps from UNITY!

...and creating a tag for a challenge is piece of a cake! After all the stamping and sponging I covered it with beeswax, stamped in the (heated) beeswax, and rubbed some perfect pearls on it to accentuate the structure in the beeswax.

(HE)art journal 2012 challenge - March - Beeswax

I made this for :

1. HEart Journal 2012, for March, which mainly is about stamping in UTEE, but here I used beeswax. ! 

 I made this heart first (before the one in the previous post), and at that time chose to use beeswax instead of  UTEE.  After I'd finished this, I decided to also give it a try with UTEE. I actually love both ways.
