Today I have a card using the Taylored Expressions challenge. A really nice layout, but took me ages to do, as I don't have a square punch. That's top of my wish list along with a heat tool and embossing powders and a whole host of other stuff.
I started by stamping some background using Waltzingmouse Stamps Faux Fun Circles set, and Memento London Fog. I stamped a strip on 5 different shaded pearlescent card stock, and then measured and cut lots of squares from them! Each square was then distressed using some pale blue chalk ink.
I then cut some creamy Bazzill card to mount the squares onto using some foam dimensionals. The Bazzill was also disressed with Antique linen Distress Ink.
Using some cream pearlescent card, I cut a large square to mount all the little squares onto, and stamped a border around it using the same stamp set.
Stamped two circles from said set, and added the sentiment from Say it With Style stamp set by WMS. Cut this out using my nesties classic circles small.
For a little sparkle I added some Stickles, and some butterflies with rhinestones, but in hindsight I think I preferred it without the butterflies!
Thanks for looking and have a great day
