In love with this week’s release at Taylored Expressions. From the Heart is the vibe. A beautiful collection of stamps, stencils, and die products along with gorgeous new liquid watercolors for cardmaking helps you put it into action.
My favorite new product is this collection of Faithful Flowers Watercolor Panels. The series includes beautiful, easy-to-color florals with thoughtful sentiments to say thinking of you or take care. I use the TE Liquid Watercolors with a cup of clean water and paintbrush. I squirt the watercolors onto a simple palette (paint palette, piece of acetate, a plate – any non-porous surface works!) and let the water and color work magic.
Sometimes these are the hardest messages to send, and this collection makes it easy to focus on the thoughts behind the creating. The panels stand alone with simple accents.
I’ve added a few embossed frames with Diagonal Stitch Rectangles and pearl and clear drip drops. You do not need a lot of bells and whistles to send a thoughtful message.
Next up, the newest Artistic Branch suite is beautiful. The collection includes the top layer die that you see here cut in Cilantro cardstock, Artistic Branch Coordinating die that creates a base for the Stamp & Stencil combo. The stencils allow for fast color that peeks out from under the Cilantro veins.
I chose a color combo of Tropical Punch, Guava, and Candy Corn to use with the stencil to add color under the Cilantro die cut layer veining. I also love that the stencils do not cover 100% of the leaves and allow a pop of white to peek through.
With the fluid movement of the leaves, I wanted the branches to rest on something more angular, and the Diamonds Pierced Plate cut in white creates a softened backdrop without visual clutter.
The Artistic Branch is beautiful as-is, but I loved cutting it up to create different patterns with the pieces and parts.
I love how the different layers, textures, and style all play well together in this release. You’ll love how effortlessly your cards will come together and be ready to send as a comfort and thinking of you. Everything is linked below, but you can find all of the newest product HERE at Taylored Expression.
