It's finally here!!
I am so happy its Friday - and today is extra special for me!!
Today I have the honor of being Taylor's Featured Cupcake Sampler! What an incredible thrill!! I was just beside myself when she emailed me to ask if I would sample the sketch.. seriously?? -no pressure really!! OMG!! YEAH!! .gif){kind=small}
I had a lot of fun coming up with this card! It was pretty easy - after all the sketch was already done for me, and also, I knew exactly what I wanted to do! I just had to use my cuppie stamps, and since Taylor recently moved back to the midwest from California, I thought she might enjoy a little California Dreamin' in case she got a little homesick!
All of the papers and embellies are from the July Key Ingredients (well, except for the 4 little pewter brads and the large corduroy brad, which are from Stampin' Up!).
Everything in the Key Ingredients kit is just gorgeous!! The papers are just incredible - very retro, which I absolutely love. I am on this funky pattern kick lately!! The patterns were just so fun to pair together. I also loved the little chipboard accents that are included. I used one of the chipboard ovals for the sentiment, which I embossed directly onto it. I then inked up the edges with my Peeled Paint Ranger Distress Ink, and I added the little dots using the liquid pearls which came in my Key Ingredients (sooo awesome!). The images are all colored using Copic Markers.
I think this card is pretty California cool right?? I think Taylor's pretty cool for letting me play along with the sketch this week !
Have a fabulous day and thanks so much for stopping by!!
