Taylored Expressions Sneak Peeks Day 2
Happy Friday and welcome to Day 2 of sneak peeks of the new sets being released at Taylored Expressions tomorrow, Saturday, October 3rd! Today the Baker’s Dozen and I are sharing sneak peeks using Wings of Joy, illustrated by Nancy McKinney. The images in this set are some of the most adorable holiday images I’ve ever seen! Today is also Friday which means another TE Sketch Challenge! The “Joy” image in this set happened to work perfectly for the sketch. I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copic markers. And then I added a bunch of little details to the image including Taffy & Green Apple Smooch highlights, white liquid applique, and Kaisercraft red pearls. Then I surrounded the image with clear crystal strips. I also added a Doodlebug rub-on to the plain caribbean satin ribbon. I used the Christmas Key Ingredients on 
both of the cards posted here today. The Key Ingredients includes the adorable Jolly by Golly patterned paper from Cosmo Cricket along with coordinating cardstock, ribbon, red sparkly fluff, and chipboard snowflakes. It’s super cute! I’ve also hand-selected a group of Copics to coordinate with the Christmas Key Ingredients.. Isn’t it wonderful when everything matches!? So don’t forget to pick up your Christmas Copic Kit on release day. I love the little hats and mittens in the Cosmo Cricket patterned paper so I cut them out and strung them along a piece of twine with some mini clothespins. I stamped the Vibrant Pink background with snowflakes from the Wings of Joy set and embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder. Then I added crystal swirls around the sentiment.
I also wanted to give you a sneak peek of the Very Merry Christmas Bundle we’re offering during this release. This bundle has tons of supplies (cardstock, ribbon, patterned paper, sparkly fluff, buttons) and coordinates perfectly with the Wings of Joy stamp set. The whole bundle is just $55.95 and they’re available in limited quantities starting tomorrow at 8am PST!
To participate in the sketch challenge this week, just create a card with this layout and upload it to your blog or to an online gallery by Friday, October 9th. If you’re uploading to an online gallery, use the keyword TESC85. Then come back here and add a direct link to your card with Mr. Linky below. I’m looking forward to checking out what you all come up with!
