Hi Friends! One final day of Taylored Expressions projects to end out this super-fab January release week! Everything is already available in the Taylored Expressions Store! Check it out! My card for today I'm affectionately calling my "Phantom of the Opera" card! Roses, music notes, lace... When I was pulling stuff out to make my card it just said Phantom to me! What do you think?
I used the new "Rose Bouquet" stamp set along with the Valentine 2013 Project Pantry Kit papers for a romantic feel. I used the gorgeous new Designer Mini Tags Die for my sentiment. LOVE that. Gonna use it tons!
Here's a close up of my mini tag and sentiment. You can also see that pretty PP paper...
My bouquet image was stamped and embossed on watercolor paper! I have been wanting to use my watercolor pencils (it's been while) and thought this would be a nice image to watercolor. I like how it came out! I used some distress ink around the edges and put some black speckles on it too...
Thank you so much for spending part of your week with me! Lovely having you along on this adventure!
For those of you who have been following along with me for a while, you might have noticed that this week's Release posts were a bit different than in the past. Taylor started a new format this year, which allows us to have a bit more freedom to use our personal style. What do you think? I love it! I hope you do too. If you have a minute, take some time to give Taylor some feedback!
One last linky list to the Baker's Dozen blogs for our final projects for the week!
