Taylored Expressions Blast from the Past Blog Hop

In a previous Taylored Expressions update, there was mention of a blog hop and I was all for participating. I love the TE stamps and especially the Whimsical Wishes line, apparently, as every set I own is from that line =)

For this card, I used supplies from one of my Key Ingredients packages, which I believe was January 2010. How awesome to have coordinating papers, ribbons and accessories mailed to you every month. If you're not a KI subscriber, I'd totally recommend it. It gets me thinking outside of my usual comfort zone...and as a bonus, you get free shipping & 10% off any additional orders placed within the time period before your KI kit is sent out....sweet!


Anyways, this card uses the  Berries & Cherries set and all the rest was from my kit. I used some crystal effects on my dipped strawberry (YUM!) and sponged a little creamy caramel onto the masked off base of the image. I really love how it turned out.

This was the sketch that the super talented Sankari created for us to use if we wanted...and I'm all about sketches since I don't have a natural "here's where to start" ability.



Please continue along your blog hopping journey to see what the super talented peeps have created with the awesome TE stamps!

  13. Firstly your card is amazing! Great BG paper! and lovely stamping and colouring. You did an awesome job with that sketch girlie! I totally understand that lack of starting point ability.

    The subscription sounds like an awesome idea. I may just have to do that as soon as I sell the house.
