I'M the FRIDAY FRIEND at the STAMP A SWEET IMPRESSION blog by Taylored Expressions! WOO HOO!!!! I'd be honored if you head over there next to read more about my card and also to read a little interview with yours truly. I'm just on cloud 9 about this!
Can I just TELL you how over the moon thrilled I was when Jami Sibley emailed me asking if I would be their Friday Friend? I could barely contain myself! I love Taylored Expressions' stamps sooooo much, so this was really awesome for me. I really want to thank Jami and Taylor for this awesome opportunity...it really made my week!
I am absolutely in love with the new Fresh Flowers set from the Whimsical Wishes line at Taylored Expressions. As soon as it came out and I saw that big, beautiful window stamp, I knew it had to come home to me! Don't you just love it? There are SO many possibilities with this set; I just wish I had more time to stamp!
I stamped this image in Dark Chocolate (pti) Palette ink and colored it in with my copics. To obtain the distressed wood look I began using my E31 Brick Beige Copic and went over the whole thing. Then I took my E50 Eggshell and went over the middle to lighten up the areas a bit and then used my E55 Caramel to go over the corners to make them appear a bit darker and hinged. I used my Y21 Buttercup w/ my colorless blender to obtain the effect of the sun coming through the top windows and my BG10 Cool Shadow also heavily removed w/ my colorless blender in each of the window panes.

Creating a breathtaking focal point using this window stamp and filling it up with all the pretty flowers in this set has so many possibilities. I couldn't finish this card without going over the windows with my Glossy Effects to create the reflections of glass on this card. I had so much fun coloring and shading the flowers and the window/shutters that I just wanted to play with this stamp set all day!
Thanks for looking and I hope you'll head on over to the SASI BLOG to read more about my card and read the interview. It was really fun to answer Taylor and Jami's fun questions and I'm just so excited to be the Friday Friend!Thanks everyone and have a SWEET weekend! ~Jessica :)
