Taylored Expressions Sneak Peek - Day 2

Welcome back! I have a little peek at a new stamp set from Taylored Expressions called Wings of Joy and I know I say this all the time, but I am in love with this set too! Seriously cute images for Christmas and a coordinating Key Ingredients to boot! I'm a sucker for Christmas stamps since I make my own cards to send out and I'm always looking for a variety of styles.

I chose to use the little bird cage image along with Taylor's TESC84 sketch for my card. All of the paper you see today is from the Christmas Key Ingredients - the patterned paper is called Jolly by Golly from Cosmo Cricket and it fits this set perfectly! The birdcage is stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa and colored with Copic Markers. I stamped snowflakes on the piece of Island Mist Light prism card stock in Versamark ink. I added some pink grosgrain ribbon from the Christmas KI to cover the paper seam. Now, I'll admit, I was a little stumped as to where to put the sentiment on this card - I finished all the bits and pieces and couldn't find a place to add another layer. So I decided to mimic the look of the ribbon by repeating Merry Christmas on the side of the blue layer and separated the phrases with Taylor's Tiny Twinkles. I really like the way it looks, its kind of unique and I really like the non-traditional Christmas colors of this paper pack as well.

There is lots more to see - stop on by and see the rest of the Baker's Dozen!
