WITH GRATITUDE

I went to the Taylored Expressions Studio yesterday and took time to do the Make n' Take.  The card is foiled and then ink blended with three different inks.  It was quick and simple but it turned out so pretty!

 

Petal Pushers

I have really been loving this Taylored Expressions Petal Pusher die.  It was free with a $100 purchase during the month of February.  I do believe they ran out and I can see why.  It's a great die!  I was trying to replicate a card that I saw when I was at the TE Studio last week.  

I die cut the Petal Pusher die with Toffee card stock.  I ink blended the leaves.  First with Green Tea ink and then the darker shading is Brussel Sprouts.  The petals were ink blended with Honey ink and then a heavy blend using the same ink towards the center of the flower.  The flower center was blended with Mocha ink. After the blending I put all the pieces back into place and taped them on the back side of the panel.  I put the panel in my Misti and stamped the Taylored Expressions Linen Background over the entire panel using Honey ink.  I splattered the design with Dr. Ph Martin's bleed proof white and Stampin' Up Early Espresso ink refill.  I added the thin foam strips to the back of the panel and put it on a Brussel Sprout card base.  I love this rustic look!
