heArts #114-115 Free Valentine Tags for Collage and Scrapbooking Friday, Feb 8 2008
Art and Collage and Digital Collage and Digital Scrapbook Design and Heart and Tags and Valentine and design 7:48 pm
I decided to make some free heart art for all of you making Valentine’s Day cards or putting together Valentine’s scrapbooks. In case you don’t already know, using shipping tags for collage, rubber stamping, etc. has been popular for years. I’m pleased with how my first digital attempts with them have turned out. These were completely constructed from scratch using Photoshop and the Grunge Heart #1 Photoshop brushes from BSilvia at Graphics-Illustrations and Texture brushes from Obsidian Dawn. I altered some of the brushes to create different effects.
Once again I wish I knew how to offer downloads in such a way that you could get a PNG file so you wouldn’t have to remove the white background. I’m working on figuring that out. In the meantime, click on the images below and you’ll be taken to Flickr where you will see a link to “all sizes” above the image. That will take you to different sizes. Or just right-click and “save image as” from here.
Note: These are for your own personal use. You can alter them in any way, print them out, use them for swaps, but it you publish it anywhere online please give me a mention and a link back. You should also give credit to BSilvia/Graphics-Illustrations and Obsidian Dawn. Don’t worry…if I ever strike it rich I’ll start giving away no-strings-attached free stuff.

Hi Gretchen!
I saw your post in Artella a couple of hours ago and I decided to write another post this week about freebies just to highlight your generous offer. I hope I posted it in a time frame in which it would be seen by a different crowd then your post or maybe a wider audience because it was a little later. In your last newsletter, you mentioned wanting to offer png quality downloads and I had a thought. There is a website called “4shared.com”. I haven’t had time to check it out or try it myself yet, but I have downloaded freebies from this site before. They offer some services free and if you haven’t already heard of them, you might want to check them out. Thanks again for your generosity. Let me know if 4hared.com is of any help/use to you.
Hugs, Julie

Hi Gretchen!
Silly me. I can be so long winded some times that I forget things. Your tags are absolutely beautiful. I love them!
Hugs, Julie
