It's release day at Taylored Expressions and everything you've seen Taylor's Baker's Dozen showcase this week is now available in store. I have one more card to share using Birds of a Feather.
I was inspired by Jami and Regina yesterday and used one of the birdhouses in the set as a hot air balloon and the perch as the basket (so clever, ladies!!). Surprisingly this card was incredibly quick. I stamped the birdcage and sentiment in momento rich cocoa ink on the rustic cream panel and then again on the patterned paper. The lines to the basket are just drawn in with a fine LePen brown marker and ruler.
Can't wait to see more sneaks from this talented line up...
Have a Happy Canada Day and a fabulous long weekend!

Today I'm sharing just a very small peek at the stamps and goodies available tomorrow at Taylored Expressions. From the Whimsical Wishes lineup and new Mokas, I have a card using images and coordinating dies from Birds of a Feather, a set of bird cages, birds and sentiments, and the new Taylor Moka.
First, I stamped the branch, chain and sentiment THINKING OF YOU in momento rich cocoa and the bird cage in a combination of SU kiwi kiss and PTI simply chartreuse then cut out the image. I used the branch die to cut out the complete branch but then trimmed off and used only the leaves. The scalloped border and wee birds are cut from TE dies too.
My next card featuring Taylor Moka follows the June SFYTT sketch. I don't think for a moment that this Moka looks like Taylor, but this seemed to be Taylor's favourite little dress from the collection. Maybe this is Taylor before she grew so tall!
I paper-pieced the sweet dress, hairband and purse and coloured her skin and with copics and prismacolors. Don't look too closely or you'll see how much bronzer she used today--I had already worked with the prismacolor pencils so no going back!! To bring the greens together, I inked the paper edges with bundled sage distressed ink. This is the perfect card for my niece who just graduated from her elementary school.
Thanks for looking today! Make sure you check out the Baker's Dozen 'cause there's so much to see...
