TECC71 Hope & Faith
June 5th, 2009
Happy Friday! If you came here from Taylor’s blog then you should know the scoop by now, but if not you’ll certainly want to head over there get all the info on the BIG Taylored Expressions release today which includes 5 new stamp sets, 2 new Key Ingredients and a whole load of other new products in the store. Also be on the lookout for the TE newsletter in your in-box today….you ARE subscribed, aren’t you? 😉
Of course Friday means another fun sketch – TECC71. For today’s card I was excited to use the new TE stamp set Hope & faith from Taylor’s new inspirational line Lasting Impressions.
I have a friend going through a rough time and I wanted to send her a card of enouragement. This quote seemed perfect.
“Expect to have hope rekindled.
Expect your prayers to be answered in wonderous ways.
The dry seasons do not last. The Spring rain will come again.”
I stamped it on white cardstock and highlighted some of the words with Pink Pirouette ink and an aquapainter. Then I cut and embossed it with a Spellbinders rectangle nestie die. Designer Paper is SU Bella Rose (I sure am going to miss that paper!) and cardstock colors are Pink Piroutte and Riding Hood Red. I used a SU Fleurette and button along with RHD Taffeta ribbon. The pink panel is embossed with a cuttlebug birds and vine folder.
For the inside I used a Spellbinder doubled ended label die and some pink brads.
Today there will be TECC creations from the Cupcake Crew as well as release day samples from the Baker’s Dozen. That’s a lot of blog hopping to do so be sure to grab a cup of cofee and relax. I know you’ll be inspired by all there is to see! The very best way to get to everything is to simply hop over to Taylor’s blog and follow all the links from there. She has two posts today – be sure to read them both.
I had hoped to have a 2nd card to share today as well…so many fun TE stamps to play with…but I ran out of time, so I’m hoping to have something tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend and happy shopping.
