Hi everyone and welcome to day 1 of the Taylored Expressions sneak peeks!!! Today the Baker's Dozen is showcasing samples made with the new beautiful set from the Taylored Expressions Lasting Impressions Line. The set is called Christmas Blessings an is a beautiful Faith based set. So let's get on to why you're really here!
I inked up the beautiful dove with Riding Hood Red ink and a Garden Green marker. It was stamped on Choice Snow White, cut out with Circle Nestabilities and sponged with Pretty in Pink ink before removing from the die. The patterned paper is SEI Christmas Mint and will be available for sale at Taylored Expressions on Release Day this Saturday (October 3rd). This paper is so beautiful and coordinates beautifully with this elegant set! The sentiment is one long stamp, so I masked it to stamp the words one above the other to fit in one of the tag dies from the Tags Trio dies from Spellbinders. Pretty in Pink ink was also sponged on the tag before removing it from the die. The ribbon is Riding Hood Red Taffeta. The New Leaf strip behind the main image was embossed using the Diamonds and Stars Impressabilities template. When the card was all done I felt like it needed a little something more, so I added some Lippy Red Rhinestones just above the dove. I really love the addition of the pink to these traditional Christmas colors!
Don't forget to check out what the rest of the Baker's Dozen has cooked up for the release!
