Taylored Expressions Calendar Challenge February

Blast from the Past Blog Hop

It’s time for the February addition of the Taylored Expressions Calendar Challenge!

For my calendar page this month I started with the Frame Your Imagination stand paired with the 6×6 printable calendar (Taylor has both 2012 and 2013 available for those that want to work ahead  – perfect for gift making!). I used Love A La Carte as my focal point. I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black on Snow White Choice Cardstock and colored it with Copics to match My Mind’s Eye Love Me paper. I kept this page in line with the theme I started on my first calendar month. To accent the image I added a bit of Doodle Twine and cut outs from Hearts a Plenty. I added a bit of shine to the heart in LOVE with Glossy accents and popped the die cuts up on foam tape. Lastly I added a order using the Scalloped Eyelet Border Die.

I am just loving this frame! It makes a great addition to the decorations in our basement and it’s so versatile. You could really use the frame to showcase just about anything!!

Please join us this month! You can get the full details at Taylor’s blog and please feel free to jump in at any time.

Deconstructed Sketch 38

Here’s my sample:

My card originally started out down a clean and simple path and morphed into something else completely as I worked. I do really like the outcome though. I used Moka Katie for my image today and colored her with Copics. I actually have a little video of how I colored her that I’ll share a little further down. It started out as a tutorial and I was a little long winded to I sped it up and but music over it but you can follow along and see the process. :) Okay, back to my card. I started out with Moka Katie and paper from MME Love Me, my current favorite paper pad that I can’t stop using. Seriously, it’s very versatile, and I love the soft pinks in it. Here are the rest of the details on the card:

Image: Moka Katie, Taylored Expressions
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Vintage Photo
Paper: MME Love Me, Kraft, Choice Snow White cs
Accessories: Spellbinders Circles, doily, hand died sheer ribbon, dew drops, Prima roses, twine, glue dots, foam tape, 3M Quick Dry Adhesive, Glossy Accents, distress tool, Lots of Dots impression plate (Taylored Expressions), Sharpie pen, Copics.

And here’s the video I promised of how I colored Katie. :)

Here’s our fantastic guest designer, Amy Sheffer’s, sample:

So there’s a little something to get you started and now it’s time to hop around and see what everyone else on the DT has been up to and leave them a little love. :)
