Fresh Flowers Sneak Peek!

It's time for sneak peeks from Taylored Expressions...yippeeeee!!! Today I'm showing you two samples I've made with Fresh Flowers, the newest set in the Whimsical Wishes line. I've used supplies from the Mother's Day Key Ingredients for both of these cards. 

Isn't this little window-scape just darling! I love that the window, shutters, and window box are all separate images. Also, the window has a gorgeous rounded pane above the square window. I chose to ink only the square part but I'm pretty sure you'll see the entire window on one of the other Baker's Dozen blogs. {wink!}

I stamped the window with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto TE Choice Buttercream cardstock and coloured it with copics. Next I stamped the shutter and window box onto patterned paper from the Mother's Day Key Ingredients and cut them out. I popped the shutters and window box then added some very fun Flower Soft to the window box. I have to tell you, this was my first time playing with Flower Soft but it's definitely not the last...I LOVE the texture and dimension it creates. I used the Summer mixture on my sample, but there are plenty of other shades to choose from. I do really like the blended colours in this mixture though...it looks like flowers and leaves all in one. And, it's so easy to apply, just squeeze the Flower Soft Glue onto your image, pour on a generous amount of fluffed up Flower Soft and tap off the excess. Once the glue dries you can add another layer for more dimension, like I did on my sample. 

And now for the surprise part of my card...the window opens to reveal a beautiful bouquet of flowers!

I just couldn't resist cutting around the window panes so they would swing open. The vase and flower bouquet were also stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream cardstock and coloured with copics. 

Then I played with another fun new product, Smooch! I added some Siren Smooch to the flower centers and Green Apple Smooch to the leaves. It gives a pretty pearlescent shimmer and the applicator has a very fine foam tip so I was able to add a thin line on each leaf...just enough to catch the light. 

My next sample is a quick and easy square notecard using supplies from the Mother's Day Key Ingredients again and a sentiment from Fresh Flowers. 

I really can't get enough of these Key Ingredients. I've used them on more samples that I'll be showing over the next two days and I still have plenty of supplies left. 

Here's what's included in the Mother's Day Key Ingredients:

Prism cardstock in Island Mist Light, Blush Red Light, Blush Red Medium, Frosted Kiwi, Suede Brown Medium.

Choice Buttercream cardstock

Patterned paper from Crate Paper, the Blue Hill Collection

An assortment of shimmery flowers

A package of Kaisercraft Clear Rhinestones

Five yards of coordinating ribbon
