Hi!  I am baaaack!  I have had some fun time while the little ones are napping and just had to play one more time with the Essentials by Ellen Mix it Up Challenge with Taylored Expressions, check it...

I just love when a product can take all of the thinking out of a project like this new Full Bloom die by Taylored Expressions and the gorgeous handwritten sentiment is from the Essentials by Ellen Fancy Thanks stamp set LOVE IT!  Just mix a few colors of card stock together, diecut, stamp and add one little dot and ta-da!!!

Essentials by Ellen Mix It Up Challenge

Hello!  It is finally Spring here in Ohio, yay!!!  It is going to be 68 today, woot woot!  Today I'm sharing a soft card that I've created for the Essentials by Ellen Mix It Up Challenge.  This time they are mixing it up with Taylored Expressions, and I decided to create a Sympathy Card.  I never like making Sympathy cards as I'm sure we all can agree, but they are good to have on hand.  I mixed the Wild Garden Designer Dies and Tailored Expressions Care and Comfort Set...

I diecut all of the florals from vellum for a soft elegant touch, and since I was using a colored background I decided to continue with the softer side of things and embossed the sentiment with clear embossing powder.  The sequins have two jobs: 1. They add interest and keep the card moving, 2. They are a great distraction and way to hide where you adhere the vellum to the paper.
