TE-CardMaker SOTM Hop!

Jen_ShareJoy_CardmakerHop2

Taylored Expressions is teaming up with CardMaker Magazine for a super fun blog hop today! If you just arrived from Alice Golden’s blog you are in the right place!

TEcardmakerbadgeFor my card I used the September 2013 Taylored Expressions Stamp of the Month – Sending Smiles. I stamped the flower cluster from this set on Choice Snow White cardstock and colored it with Copic Markers. The patterned paper I used is from Fancy Pants Happy Go Lucky 6×6 paper pad. My card base is made from Choice Kraft Cardstock that I stamped with the dot pattern from Sending Smiles. I stamped the dots in Versamark and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder.  The rectangle in my card is cut from Label Stacklets 6, over that is a die cut from Label Stacklets 7. I used Banner Stacklets 1 for the banner elements. The flowers are handcut with scissors. To finish the elements were sponged with Ranger’s Vintage Photo Distress Ink and distressed lightly. I added a bit of ribbon and a twine bow and button.
