Do you know my friend, Taylor? Of course, you do. Her house is just a hustle and bustle this week because she is celebrating 1,000,000 hits to her AWESOME blog – Taylored Expressions. Check our her celebration prize packages all week long! On top of blog mania – the USPS man is probably swimming in packages this week as the postmark for Taylors huge trading card swap has passed. I participated in 2 rounds, and I can’t wait to see the goodies when they come back to Missouri. This trading card uses the wreath in the window from the awesome Christmas in the City set by Lizzie Anne Designs and the woodgrain backgrounder from Cornish Heritage Farms. Colored with Copics and shimmered with the Stardust Clear Shimmer Pen…Fun..fun..fun! Trading cards are a wonderful springboard for quick and cute full-size greeting cards:
I used some striped paper to add a little awning to my window. Can you tell where I kind of fooled your eye on this card? Take a peek at the scalloped edging. I love that look, but when I put the card together, the edge stripes were green. See how they pop against the red? They DID NOT pop against the green layer up top…they kind of faded away. So, I cut a snippet of the pink stripe, scalloped the edge and hid the seam under the ribbon and the ATC. Now the scallops pop on the green, too!
I have lots of blog posts lined up this week. Can’t wait to share some of my recent projects with you. Tomorrow: Taylor Swaps – Take 2! Have a great day!
