I used Peapod green and Lollipop inks for the focal image, and then lightly airbrushed ground (G43) and sky (B02) with my Copic Airbrush System. ![]() The background is Granny Smith cardstock and ink, stamped randomly with the larger leaves stamp. I kept the same field of flowers concept going for the inside, but left the sky light so that my sentiment would stand out better.įor my second card, I chose a vertical A-2 orientation and used the same Friendship Blooms stamp set. If you sponge ink on, I think I would do the background first, and then stamp the flowers. The little patterned strip across the bottom of the card is from the TE Rainbow Brights 6 x 6 paper pack. I used my Copic Airbrush System to create some ground and sky, but you could also use sponge applicators to apply ink from the ink cubes. I finished the flower centers by putting a dot of glitter on them, then stamped, punched out, and threaded the button with white crochet thread for a low-profile embellishment. I chose the little stems and leaves image from Friendship Blooms to create a field of wildflowers. My first card is A-2 sized, with a horizontal fold. (There are ten colors of dye ink, as well as two colors of hybrid ink suitable for stamping images that you might want to color with Copics.) ![]() So, this morning's post uses stamps, cardstock, and the NEW coordinating premium dye ink from Taylored Expressions. I used the 1" ink cubes I have long been a fan of ink cubes since they are handy for storage and are usually large enough, unless you are wanting to ink really large stamps. Welcome! When my friend Taylor asked last month if I'd be game to try her new Taylored Expressions Premium Die Ink Pads, I jumped on it. For embellishments, I used some twine and acrylic baubles from my stashīe sure to visit Taylor's Blog for a full list of participants in today's 10th Birthday Blog Hop, and don't forget about the Share Joy Campaign, okay? Thanks for visiting the TE party today! I used Sugar Cube cardstock for my card front (it embosses beautifully), Lollipop for my card base and a mat layer, and Blue Raspberry for my second mat layer. I also loved how quick and easy it was to pull my card together by simply stamping the streamers in TE inks, including Cookie Monster, Granny Smith, Pineapple, Salt Water Taffy, Strawberry Milkshake, and Lollipop. While I am using some older birthday products in today's card, new ones were released last night-have fun checking them out! Now, about my card: I chose the Party Streamers stamp set and coordinating Steamers embossing folder because I love streamers. Will you join us?įind out how to participate by viewing their Share Joy page HERE. To make as deep an impact as possible TE is inviting card makers everywhere to join the campaign. ![]() While I'm on that topic, I want to make sure that you know about the TE Share Joy Campaign and how to spread some joy to those who often need it most with your handmade cards:Īt the heart of Taylored Expressions is a mission to share joy through the gift of handmade cards.As part of their 10th birthday TE is continuing that mission with the launch of a special Share Joy campaign focused on providing birthday cards to those in nursing homes and assisted-living facilities across the U.S. She still has a heart for people and is an absolutely lovely person inside and out. a blast from the past!Ĭard styles and image styles have changed over the years, but I can tell you for sure that my friend Taylor hasn't.
