Baker's Dozen December Studio Challenge!

 
Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday!

It's time for the Baker's Dozen Studio Challenge!  Here is this month's question:

Inpsiration is all around us.  Many of us learned to stamp by CASEing other stampers we admired.  (CASE = Copy and Share Everything)  We want everyone to know that, not only is CASEing perfectly OK, it's actually pretty flattering and a lot of fun!  And it can be especially helpful in the midst of the busy holiday season when it's hard to think straight!  So take some inspiration from your fellow Baker's Dozen Teammates, and show us how you can turn any great inspiration into a fabulous holiday card!

I am SO excited (and seriously, intimidated) to case the absolutely FABULOUS Jen Shults.  Sheesh...that girl has mad skillz (grin).  Have you SEEN her coloring?  Color me impressed!!

I headed on over to the Taylored Expressions Gallery and perused Jen's awesome gallery.  I finally decided to case her darling card HERE.  The Taylored Expressions Gallery is a wealth of inspiration!  There is a gallery for all of the Baker's Dozen Team Members (current and alumni) along with a gallery for every single Taylored Expressions stamp set!

I used the same layout, stamp set, and Taylored Dies for embellishments, but changed:

1. The patterned paper;
2. The colors;
3. Added a button to the snowflake; and
4. Drew a frame around the focal image instead of doodling (I can't pull that off...mine just looks messy while hers looks amazing).

So, I started by stamping this sweet trio of snowmen from The Cool Crowd in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock.  I then cut out the panel with Rectangle Nestabilities and while the panel was in the die, traced around the inside with a Copic Multliner to create the frame.

I colored them with Copic Markers and then added Crystal Stickles to certain parts of them, and the ground beneath them.  I added a border cut with the Small Scallop Border Taylored Die along the top of the panel.  All of the patterned papers are Homemade 6 Bean Soup from Jillibean Soup.


I added a larger border along the bottom part of the top patterned paper panel using the Medium Scallop Border Taylored Die.  The snowflake was cut using the awesome  Make A Snowflake Taylored Dies and I added some twine and topped it off with a button.  All of the layers were sponged with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink (except for the Buttercream layers) and were popped up with Foam Tape for lots of dimension.


Here are the Copic Markers I've used on my card:
