Taylored Expressions Sneak Peek | Day 1

Good morning!  It's already time for another round of Taylored Expressions sneak peeks and boy are you in for a treat this month.  All of our new sets, papers, and dies will be available on Thursday morning at 8 AM Pacific. 
Today we're previewing 3 new sets, Spring Wreath petite set, Spring A la Carte, and It's a Banner Day 2 mini set along with the coodinating Banner Day 2 Taylored Die.  If you are not familiar with Taylored Expressions stamps, they are deeply etched cling mount rubber stamps that give beautiful, crisp impressions and are available in a variety of styles.  The team is dividing up the peeks today and I'm starting off with the Spring Wreath petite set, which is a continuation of the previous released Wreath of Luck and Wreath of Love petite sets illustrated by the fabulous Nancy McKinney.

I started by stamping the wreath in Memento Rich Cocoa on Choice Snow White cardstock and colored it in with Copics.  The gorgeous papers and cardstock, as well as all the embellishments are from the Spring Project Pantry Kit

Next up is It's a Banner Day 2, the second set in a series of 3 that was designed by Iwona Palamountain.  Just like It's a Banner Day 1, this cute mini set has a coordinating It's a Banner Day 2 Taylored Die.

I paired the It's a Banner Day 2 image with Favorite Peeps and grabbed more paper from the Spring Project Pantry Kit.  The image is again stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and colored in with copics and the banner is cut out with the It's a Banner Day 2 Taylored Die

After coloring the image, I added some Diamond Glaze over the top of the leaves to give it a little dimension and shine.  Yummy!


The Baker's Dozen have lots and lots to show you this morning, so you definitely don't want to miss them.  Please stop on by and see:
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you'll join me again tomorrow for another fabulous peek!
