TESC111 A Sketch for Mother’s Day
April 30th, 2010
Happy Friday (Note to Mom – if you are reading this before Mother’s Day, please look away immediately and close 
this post. Thank you.) It’s time for another sketch from Taylor (TESC111) and *WOW* I really like this one a lot! I tend to be pretty literal when it comes to sketches, so for this the one the first thing I told myself was that the circle element does NOT need to be a circle…let’s think Nesties. Hmmm…that led me to think of the Labels 9 image in CreativiTEA by Taylored Expressions and I was off and running. I’m not sure what possessed me to create a window in the card…not something I have done very often…but I love it!
Red is one of my all-time favorite colors and since painting my kitchen red, I seem to be using it even more often in my stamping. I was so super excited to pull out my new favorite line of paper Thrift Shop by October Afternoon!
Card base is TE Choice Buttercream. The front is layered with Real Red (with distressed edges) and 2 patterns from Thrift Shop. After cutting the window with Spellbinders Labels 9, I stamped the label image in Real Red ink on the inside of the card. The cup was then stamped and paper pieced.I cut out part of an additional cup so I could pop it up for some dimension. Then I stamped the patterned cup and colored in the flower on it, cut out the flower and adhered it to the paper pieced plain cup. Make sense?
The large flower was stamped, colored with copics, cut out and covered with Crystal Effects. I added some Sakura glitter pen to the leaves.
The sentiment is from TE Fresh Flowers. It was punched with a circle punch and layered onto another pattern of Thrift Shop paper and then onto a red cardstock circle and popped up on double thick foam tape. Additonal elements include red KaiserCraft pearls and Crochet trim from TE.
My original intention was to be done at this point, but somehow I smeared some ink on the inside of the card. Uh-oh! No worries – let’s just cover it up with some more of this yummy yummy paper and cut another window!

OMG Jami. This card is amazing! When I was looking at all the sketch cards on Taylors Blog this morning, this one jumped out at me so I had to come over to More is More to take a closer look. Love that peek-a-boo window. Perfect for the vintage teacup image! Unbelievable! Your mom’s gonna LOVE it! Worth Framing!
