My first card uses the poppy inspired image in the blended colors of Sweet Corn, Cilantro, Dill Pickle, and Sweet Potato using the stencils.  I've paired it with a bold Cilantro cardstock background that was white heat embossed with the same image.  The main image was layered onto a Rounded Rectangle Stacklets.  A new addition to the Bits & Pieces lineup are the White Foil Drops.....my FAVORITE to date!

My second card uses a soft color palette of Rose Water, Pink Champagne, and Dill Pickle inks blended over the stencils from the kit.  My blooms were tucked into a cutout background using the Label Stacklets 13 and the Diamonds Piercing Plate.  I added in those new Bits & Pieces White Foil Drops.

Her scrub top was stamped with the Bold Border Background Blocks in Sugar Cube ink.  The background is Talking in Circles Piercing Plate trimmed down and a simple black strip of cardstock was added to ground my nurse.  Sentiment from Mini Strips - Hello Add-ons.

Taylored Expressions/ Technique Week & Summer School


Hope everyone’s fueled up with their caffeine today! 
We made it through the time change this weekend and Tayored Expressions Virtual Stamp Joy. 

This week, we’re kicking off Technique Week with the launch of our TE Perforated Paper, along with new products to pair with the paper. Plus, we’re excited to open early bird registration for our Summer School event! 

************************

The Perforated Paper is so FUN to use along with florals!  I've used Woodland Blooms with a pop of Fruit Punch color.

I ink blended the Woodland Bloom in one corner and then rotated my Perforated Paper and ink blended the bloom in the other corner.  Black rhinestone details were added to the flower centers.  A simple frame, from Stitched Frame Stacklets 1, centered is the perfect placement for the sentiment from Sundry Sentiments.

This card uses Buds & Blossoms on the Perforated Paper but the paper was backed with Pineapple cardstock so it gives off a buttery color instead of the stark white paper!

Amy_Buds and Blossoms2

My color palette:  Huckleberry, Eggplant, Pineapple, and Brussels Sprout.  A simple layout with an added frame from Fancy Feature Frames Die Set and a sentiment from Essential Sentiments.
