12 Tags of 2015 {My April Version}

Hello, my blogging friends!  Today I'd like to share my April version of Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of 2015.  Tim Holtz has a wonderful tutorial on his blog with step-by-step instructions on how to create this fun technique here.  I followed his color pallet and stamp choice, but I didn't have the same dies.  I used the handwritten love and the alphanumeric die sets, to create a similar look.  I really wanted to do that great black stitching tim has on his, but I had cut my wording a little too close to the edge, so it didn't happen.  I was still really happy with how my tag turned out.  I'm envisioning maybe incorporating it into a canvas to hang on the wall!
