It's RELEASE DAY at Taylored Expressions! All the new products for June are now available in the "Fresh out of the Oven" Department at the TE Store! Now you can see ALL the new items in one place and find something to inspire you for Summer!
Today I'm featuring the Beach Border Die....and this one was my idea! Taylor brought it to life and now I can play with it. So awesome! I love the little surfboard leaning against the tree...and the tiki hut all cozy on the beach...
I had so many ideas for this one, and I decided to go with a twilight scene with a big full moon, and puffy clouds like you would see in Hawaii. I used several shades of blue ink to create my background and then cut the border out of nice, crisp black.
Here's how I made my background....I cut a circle and a Clouds Border Die out of paper. Got out my favorite shades of blue distress inks.... I set my silhouette on the paper to see where I wanted the moon to go, and then tacked it down.
I used the clouds border as my stencil and started sponging on color!
Here it is after two layers of clouds....
Almost done....
Here is the final background piece, ready for my beachy scene!
The Baker's Dozen gals have made some super cool projects with this die. I hope you will check out the TE Gallery to see more! Have a FABULOUS day everyone!
