HEY HEY HEY!!! It's time to launch a brand new card kit from Taylored Expressions! WOOHOOOO! I look forward to these so much! Fun fact: I get the very first kit every time since I am the one who takes all the product photographs! It's very hard to keep this secret and I'm always so excited to share my project and the kits with you! Today is a pleasure - the new kit is a partner kit to another kit!! This one is called Field Notes 2! Another gorgeous floral image...classic but modern.... The kit this time includes a fantastic splatter background stamp!! Yes - it's going to be a fan favorite for sure. Splatters already done perfectly for you!! The full kit contents photo is farther down in this post. The kit is available and shipping now. Let's take a look at my project!
My finished card is an A2 card base made from woodgrain cardstock. I layered some pretty sunshine yellow gingham and then a watercolor paper layer on top. The focal image is the gorgeous floral, which I watercolored in shades of yellow, gold and orange.
I used my MISTI to stamp the image in black ink onto the included watercolor cardstock. I die cut the image using the matching die. I stamped and die cut a second floral image too - I'll explain later...
These flowers are SO pretty, so I kept my card layout very clean and simple. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the top layer. Again, I used the MISTI to get a good impression on that textured paper. Look closely to see that I used the smaller splatters stamp image in light blue around where I put the florals.
Okay, now here's where I used the second image I stamped and colored. I only used the stems!! I wanted my flower bunch to have longer stems because I wanted to wrap the twine around them. SOOOO, hidden under the twine is the part where I glued on a second set of stems! I wrapped the twine around and tied on a pretty Tim Holtz charm from my stash. Just a little something.... That's my jam - just a little something something.
The kit includes some gorgeous, thick and juicy envelopes. I stamped the flowers onto the front of an envelope and watercolored it the same way as the card so they would match. I think that looks so pretty when the card and envelope match.
The kit comes with a stencil that matches the flowers! Genius! This way you can mask off your image and ink or stamp around it. What a cool concept!! Taylor thinks of everything!
That's it for today! Yippeeee! Thanks for coming by today! I hope your day goes well and hope you're happy and healthy and crafty! CLICK HERE to get your kit. The last one already sold out! XOXO

Immensely pretty set and card. I adore how you've wrapped the stems of these stamped blooms with twine and added a darling charm to boot. That is such a fresh, wonderful idea (and way to inject a bit more dimension into an otherwise relatively flat card design).
