  Hello friends! I get to share such a fun release with you all today, from the Taylored Expressions Easter Release . I think there is a little something for everyone. Make sure you head on over to the website today to see whats new! For this first card, I wanted to use colors I typically don't use together but are bright, colorful and scream spring. The cardstock was cut and scored to 4.25 x 5.5 inches. To begin the Pennant Parade stamp was stamped directly on top of the card base. Using the clear stamps from the Pennant Parade East Set, the pennants were stamped multiple times with different ink colors. They were cut out and set aside. The sentiment was stamped in black ink, and the the little elements around the banner were stamped as well before the pennants were adhered to the card using foam adhesive.  I love it when a cared turns out exactly how you picture it in your mind. This is such a beautiful stamp, I cannot wait to create more cards with it! To start the card b...

  I am so excited to share my projects today! Not only is Taylored Expressions releasing a new monthly kit, called Field Notes 2. But the stamp set was created by one of my dear friends Lori Craig. When you have a chance, head on over to the TE blog and Instagram to see all of the beautiful samples that have been created with this set. They are truly stunning. To start, the floral image was stamped in white pigment a few times to create a scene and then embossed with clear embossing powder. This gives the flowers a nice white lined outlined as well as a border when watercoloring. Having the embossed border helps tremendously especially when watercoloring, it keeps the color contained. Once the panel was colored in and dry. The sentiment was stamped in black ink in the corner with a MISTI tool. Stamping on watercolor paper can be tricky so using a stamp platform ensures that the ink can get into all the crevices of the textured paper. The panel was diecut, then layered onto a white...

  Hello Friends! Here we are at another month. Can you believe it? Its February 2021! I am so ready for spring and warm weather. Here in Florida we have had cold, grey, rainy weather for months now. Not a typical warm winter at all. So, when I saw the Taylored Expressions releases for February, I was so excited!  Today's post is all about St Patrick's Day, green, shamrocks, luck and rainbows. All things that I love. Let's dig in to the details of this card. The background was created by ink blending 3 different green inks onto a green card base. By using different tones of the same color, it creates a nice depth to a simple card. The diecuts were layered with foam adhesive and twine was added to embellish.  What is St Patrick's Day without a rainbow? I knew I wanted to create a subtle rainbow on one of my cards. It took me a little bit of playing around with this stamp and stencil combo but I figured it out. I would use the stencil a little differently to get more sham...
