Taylored Expressions Sneak Peek - Day 1

Good morning! Are you ready to pamper yourself? This month Taylored Expressions is going to pamper you with some fantastic new spa elements! Today the Baker's Dozen is featuring images from Luxurious Labels, which will be available for purchase on November 5th. I love this set because there are different styles of stamps to fit the needs of every personality. I'm using a softer stamp for my card today and emphasized the softness by using the poppin' pastels technique - it creates softer edges on the stamped image. I used WSC104 for the layout and used elements from the Spa Key Ingredients Kit, which includes an assortment of Prism card stock {Intense Mint, Intense Pink, Frosted Kiwi, Razzleberry Light, and Frosted Teal} along with 2 sheets of Choice Buttercream cardstock. The patterned paper is Whirlybird from the My Mind’s Eye Penny Lane collection, which is just delicious! And as always, there is a lovely assortment of ribbon, flowers, and brads.
For my bath salts spa bottle, I've used the whimsical little bath tub and added the BATH SALTS label above it. I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it in with Copic Markers. To add a little dimension, I've added some Crystal Effects to the bubbles, although it is tough to see in the photo.
