I’m back with a couple more Embrace Beauty projects and everything is now available for purchase in the TE Store!  I haven’t even scratched the surface of all the ideas I have for creating with this stamp set!  And I so so so loved seeing the samples created by Taylor and the Baker’s Dozen girls!

First up today I have a CAS card –

I started by making a sponging template from a Nesties circle cut out of a square piece of copy paper.  I sponged regal Rose and So Saffron ink within the circle on Naturals White cardstock.  Then I removed the template and stamped the silhouette image in Not Quite Navy ink over the top.  I added some piercing (for my friend Bev’s DTGD Challenge), Kaisercraft pearls, and used some rose grosgrain ribbon for texture and interest.  Super simple.

My next card shows how Embrace Beauty also coordinates with Summer Afternoon.

For this card I pulled out an old favorite Kaleidacolor pad (do they even sell those anymore?) and I brayered it onto some glossy white cardstock.  I stamped the leafy round frame image from Summer Afternoon in black ink.  Then I heat embossed the circular butterfly image from EB with black ink and clear powder twice – once on Limeade cardstock and again on Bermuda Bay.  I punched out the limeade circle with a 1 3/4″ punch.  Then I cut out the butterfly and popped it up on foam dots.  The sentiment is also embossed and popped up.  I added some Want2Scrap black rhinestone swirls to finish it off.

So there you have two very different looks from the same stamp set.  Be sure to check out all the release details on Taylor’s blog.  There are some fun bundle options.  Also be sure to hop over to SCS to enter the release prize drawing!  Now let’s see what the Baker’s Dozen had cooked up for Release Day!
