June Release At a Glance

• Join us as a fan on Facebook for an early peek at the stamp sets, as well as a SPECIAL      Facebook GIVEAWAY, on Wednesday night beginning at approximately 6 pm PST.

I am SO excited to share a GORGEOUS set with you today...Forever In Bloom!  This is a beautiful set illustrated by Nancy McKinney for the Whimsical Wishes line at Taylored Expressions.  This set includes both open line images (which I used) and solid images.  Also being released on Thursday are the coordinating Hydrangea Blooms Taylored Dies!

For my card I started by stamping the hydrangeas in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock and cut them out using the Hydrangea Blooms Taylored Die.  I colored them with Copic Markers and then added Taylor's Tiny Twinkles in the center of each flower.

I cut two circles of Choice Buttercream using Circle Nestabilities and on the smaller one, left the paper inside the die and sponged the inside with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink.  I then popped up the hydrangea with Foam Tape and added in leaves that I colored and cut as well.

All of the patterned paper is Indie Chic Saffron from My Minds Eye and I created a layered flag element but cutting just the edges of the yellow pattern and Choice Buttercream panel with the Fly Your Flag 3 Taylored Die.  Here is a closeup of the hydrangea.  LOVE these flowers!!

I added a border with the Majestic Border Taylored Die and then added some Lace Ribbon, purple ribbon and twine.  I stamped the sentiment, "Celebrate Today" onto a piece of Choice Buttercream Cardstock cut with the Fly Your Flag 2 Taylored Die.  I tucked it under the ribbon and then added a heart cut with the Mini Tags Taylored Dies, tied with some twine and adorned with a rhinestone.  I am loving how that came out.  Here is a closeup:
