This week the challenge is

Anything Goes

We are showcasing Avery Elle Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

I have made a watercolour card using an colour combination which is outside the box for me.

I stamped the images from Avery Elle Canopy stamp set on to watercolour paper using MISTI and Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink. Then I coloured the images with Zig clean brush markers. The colour combination was inspired by this picture from Pinterest.

I kept it soft and muted. That is unusual for me. I am brights girl but I do LOVE the muted look. I added some glossy accent to the centre of the flowers for added dimension. I also coloured the background with a warm grey.

And not many card of mine escapes from my sequins collection. I have added Pretty Pink Posh Sparkly Clear sequins to complete the card. I adhered the panel on to a baby pink card base with a bit of pink peeking on top and bottom of the panel.

Hope you like my card. All the products I used on my card is listed below for your convinence.

So now it's YOUR turn.  Happy Crafting

It's time for fall!

Welcome back dear friends,

Today is day #2 of Taylored Expressions new release sneak peeks. Yesterday was sneak peek day #1 and if you haven't seen my projects for day #1, CLICK HERE!

Today's theme is Fall! I am showcasing two new products today. My first is brand new to Taylored Expressions - background rubber cling stamps. Yes, we now have background stamps in the collection. I am showcasing the new Birch Tree background stamp with Woodsy Wishes stamp set and coordinating dies.

These two stamp sets go well with each other. Here is my card.

I have white heat embossed the Birch Tree background on a white panel. Then sponged Jelly Donut, Candy Corn and Lemon Meringue TE dye inks to give fall sunset background feel. Toward the bottom of the card, I die cut two rolling hills using Granny Smith cardstock and Build a Scene Rolling Hills dies. I sponged Peapod TE dye ink to give a bit of depth. I layered and adhered them both. This is my background.

I then stamped, copic coloured and die cut the animal images from Woodsy Wishes stamp set and adhered them on the rolling hills using foam adhesives. These critters are so cute. Absolutely love critters.



The sentiment from Woodsy Wishes stamp set is white heat embossed on Oreo cardstock, trimmed and adhered using foam adhesives. Finally embellished with sequins from Rainbow Bright sequins collection. Love how colourful this card turned out. All the supplies for this card are listed below.

The second new product I am showcasing today is a cutting plate called Thanks Cutting Plate. This cutting plate is beautiful with plenty of details on them.

I sponged watercolour paper with the new Mulled Wine, Dijon, Basil TE dye inks. Then to add layers and intense color, I smooshed them with Wild Honey, Aged Mahogany, Festive Berries and Forest Moss distress inks. I then die cut this panel using the Thanks cutting plate. I also die cut three more using white cardstock. I stacked glued them all for added dimension you can see below.



I adhered this stacked Thanks die cut on a white card base. The white card base makes the colours on the cutting plate pop! I embellished with sequins from Harvest sequins collection. All the supplies used to make this card is listed below.
