TLC206 - If Friends Were Flowers

After coming down with something last Wednesday (I blame shoveling an icy driveway in the rain...lol), it was good to get to stamp again! I was SO close to being able to finish all 9 of the Taylored Expression Challenges, and then I felt like death warmed over and stamping was the last thing on my mind! Better luck next time, eh? :) On the plus side, I was one of the random winners of the $10 Taylored Expressions gift certificates. How fun is that?!



I made this card for the Technique Lover's Challenge (TLC206) on SCS. You can find details of the challenge here. It was a little trickier than I thought it would be, but the end result (recessed frame) is very fun. The instructions call for a 2 1/4" square, but I enlarged mine to 3"... I think the hardest part was cutting out the 3" square on my layers so they would line up properly when assembled. I was going to add some ribbon, but totally spaced out and forgot until my layers were adhered together, by then I was like forget it, it's done! LOL

Details:
Stamps - Playful Petals, Taylored Expressions Year of Sweet Sentiments
Paper - Pink Pirouette, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Sweet Always DSP
Ink - Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red, Tangerine Tango, Chocolate Chip
Miscellaneous - Key Tag Punch, Taylor's Tiny Twinkles

-----------------------------------------



This was created for the Taylored Expressions sketch challenge on Stephanie's blog. This card was the last thing I made on Wednesday before I fell ill... LOL Sorry about the dark cast, I've been fiddling with it in Photoshop, but can't seem to get it any lighter without making it look distorted.

Details:
Stamps - Petal Pizzazz
Ink - Regal Rose, Chocolate Chip, So Saffron
Paper - So Saffron, Basic Grey Urban Prairie, Whisper White
Miscellaneous - Baja Breeze Ribbon
