  The kits that Taylored Expressions curates are always so good! This month is no exception. The kit is called Very Cherry and its oh so cute! Before making this card, the color combination running through my head was red/pink, and I wanted to create a patterned paper look. Using the misti tool, the background stamp was stamped onto cupcake cardstock. Using red and green inks, the cherries and the leaves were stamped in. The stencil was adhered over the stamped panel, and using blender brushes, red ink was softly applied. The stamped panel was then adhered to the card front with foam adhesive. Using red and white cardstock and the circle layering dies in the kit, the cardstock was diecut.

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...
