WOOO HOOO! It's Friday! Hope it was a great week for all of you and that fun times are ahead for the weekend! I have Monday off for President's Day so it's a three day weekend for me. I have plans for brunch with a gal pal tomorrow and then I need to stamp like a crazy woman to get my projects all done! Thanks for coming by today. It's my day to post for Taylored Expressions so I used the awesome sketch from TESC #152! You still have time to enter your card for the sketch challenge....and you could win a prize! CLICK HERE for details!
I made sort of a shabby-country-chic sort of creation! I used new papers from My Mind's Eye and a Fall stamp set and a pretty shade of golden yellow. I'll put my supply list at the bottom of the post.
Here is the sketch image. I flipped it up on it's side since I wanted to use the oval the long way to fit my image better. COOOOOL sketch...it's a keeper!
Here is a photo of my supplies...I used the "Thankful" set - which is traditionally for Fall! You can get more use out of your sets if you try to see them in a different light. The apples could be for a teacher card too and I love the sentiments with that set. I used the Happy Birthday words from the "Embrace Beauty" set because I like that font.
Here is my card before the focal image. I sanded the brown paper and the gold paper to make it softer and more shabby-licious! hee hee.
Here is my Copic Palette...
Supplies - all from Taylored Expressions:
Thankful Stamp Set
Embrace Beauty Stamp Set
Medium scallop die
Copic Markers
MME - Be Amazing 6x6 paper pad
I hope you have a most fabulous day friends!

I've been looking forward to this, Wanda! What a gorgeous card, my friend! Love the whole country shabby-chic vibe and love the color palette. It feels fall-ish, but works so perfectly for any time of year. Love that you show how to get more mileage out of our stamp sets. Absolutely fabulous take on that fun sketch. Really stunning!
Hope you enjoy your long weekend. I'm so excited. The kiddos have only a half day today, and then have both Monday and Tuesday off. :)
