It's finally release day at Taylored Expressions and we have a lot more to share with you! Today the Baker's Dozen girls are showing you some more peeks of the new Animals In Love images and Animal Love Sentiments! I can't tell you how fun these images are to play with! I have two more cards and oodles of info to share with you, so grab a cup of coffee/tea/hot chocolate, etc and get comfy!!
The first card I'm sharing with you uses the new Animals in Love Whale image. Isn't this CUTE???? I stamped the whales twice in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them in with Copics. I cut out one image with Oval Nestabilities and the other image was cut out and popped up for some dimension. I also added some more red Martha Stewart Glitter to the hearts. The DP is Love Me Do by My Mind's Eye. The sentiment is from Animal Love Sentiments and was cut out with a Spellbinders Tag Trio Die. Before removing it from the die I sponged some So Saffron Ink around the edges to give the tag some more color. The ribbon, button and twine are all from Papertrey Ink. I really love the fresh colors on this card!
This card uses the new Flamingo stamp! I hate to repeat myself, but isn't this CUTE? LOL! The flamingo's were stamped in Memento Black ink and colored in with Copics. I realize looking at this now that I forgot to color in their legs! LOL! Anywho, the image itself is round so I knew I wanted to use it as the "O" in the word "LOVE". I recently purchased these Thicker's Valentine letters and couldn't wait to put them to good use! I'm really happy with how this card turned out. I don't know how I came up with this color combo, but I really like it! The word "You" in the heart is just a portion of a sentiment from Animal Love Sentiments. I merely masked off the rest of the phrase (Owl always love you) to get just the one word. I finished off the card with some glittered hearts. I punched these out with a small MS heart punch and covered them with glitter. It really brought the card together, IMO!

Hi Sweet Jackie! Your cards are ADORABLE!!! I love the colors of the first, with the splash of red... and the way you positioned the flamingos as the O in LOVE. You rock!
I've got the owls, dogs, and elephants. Now I'm thinking I NEED the whales... and all of them! lol

Darling cards, Jackie! Love the blue/yellow combo on the first card. It's so soft and pretty. The way you did the circle as the O in *Love* on the second card is SOOOO clever!
