Hi everyone and welcome to Day 2 of sneak peeks from Taylored Expressions! Today we are sneaking peeks of a brand new concept to TE called Stamps A La Carte! These are single images that you can purchase for just $6.95 each! These images are from the Whimsical Wishes Line, designed by Nancy McKinney and are called Animals in Love. There are eight images in total and to top it off there is a fabulous new full size set of sentiments that will coordinate with the individual images, called appropriately, Animal Love Sentiments.
These images are not just for Valentine's Day...they are for everyday! I know I'll be using one of them for my upcoming Anniversary! So let's get on with the samples!
On this card I used the adorable Kissy Fish! I stamped them in Memento Tuxedo Black, colored them in with Copics and cut out with paper snips. I covered the entire image with Glossy Accents to make it look like a real fish bowl. While that dried, I stamped the sentiment onto Choice Buttercream and cut it out with Circle Nesties. Before removing it from the die, I sponged some Creamy Caramel ink around the edges. The DP is Be Loved by My Mind's Eye and the colored cardstock is Prism. A little machine stitching, ribbon and brads and I called it done!
On this card I used the adorable Elephants. I kept this card pretty simple, but not without details! The elephants were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream and colored in with Copics. They were cut out with Oval Nesties. The sparkly hearts were done with a quickie glue pen and some Martha Stewart Glitter. The heart border is a Martha Stewart punch. It's hard to tell from the pic, but I made some scor lines with a Scor-Pal on the Cream layer to the right.
There wasn't enough room on the front for this awesome sentiment, so I finished off the inside of the card. The sentiment is from the new sentiment set that coordinates with the new Animals in Love A La Carte stamps!
