TAYLORED EXPRESSIONS OCTOBER 2012 RELEASE DAY!
Hi friends! It's been such a fun week already...and today is Release Day! What do you think of all the new goodies in the TE store? Aren't they wonderful!? All of the new Taylored Expressions products are now available in the Fresh Out of the Oven Department. AND Be sure to check the TE Current Specials page!
Today I have a trio of note cards to share made with the new Graphic Greetings Christmas stamp. Taylor is continuing this Graphic Greetings series and I'm so glad. This look is so on trend right now in the craft world. The Baker's Dozen gals have come up with some great ideas for this stamp...so many possibilities!
I wanted to show you guys how this card could look in different colors. Christmas doesn't have to always be red and green! LOL. I think these would be great gal pal Christmas cards, because they're fun and feminine. I kept them flat for mailing too.
The snowflakes were made using a new TE Die set called Make a Snowflake...and there are six snowflakes included. You can layer them endlessly and they coordinate perfectly with the new Snowflake Border Die too.
First I stamped my image in Versamark ink and clear embossed it. Then I colored my image with Distress inks and a sponge in the pretty colors. Next, I went back around and distressed the edges with a touch of brown ink. This adds just a touch of depth. Then I had fun layering on pretty cream snowflakes!
The background solid color paper was first embossed with the Swirls side of the TE Swirls and Music impression plate which was released last year for Christmas. I use that all the time!
Do you like these pretty pastels for Winter?
