Taylored Expressions June Spotlights - Teacup Bouquet

Hi All! And a Very Happy Friday to you! 8-) Aren't you just Loving all the Fabulous New Goodies? Hope you are Loving them as much as I am! 8-) And just in case you didn't get a chance to stop by yesterday, I'm Sharing the news again...8-)  All of the new Taylored Expressions products are now available in the Fresh Out of the Oven Department. Whoo Hoo!! Time to do some Shopping! Yay! lol 8-)

Well, today I'm back to share it's Designers choice for one last June New Release project! Yay! And I Chose to share the Darling Teacup Bouquet Set! I just LOVE this Pretty bouquet of Pansies nestled into a Sweet little Teacup! Just To Adorable to Resist! So much so that I made two different ones to share with you all...;-)

And yep, you guessed it, I just HAD to play some more with my New Distress Markers!! lol  This time though, I thought I'd try my hand at watercoloring with them, and I created two versions for you... One was created while I was seriously just messing around with them to see what I could come up with on my own, and the other one was created after watching My Sweet Teamie Jen's Distress Marker Basics Tutorial...

This is my first Attempt... And though I personally prefer my 2nd attempt after watching Jen's Fab Tutorial, this one really didn't turn out too shabby, for just messing around that is, lol.. It definitely has a softer watercolored look, and it looks kind of vintage to me as well.  I was attempting to re-create the look of my Very Favorite Heirloom Pansies that I had planted in my Garden last spring, and these were the colors they were..And come to think of it, they looked kind of Vintage and old fashioned themselves, probably why I liked them so much at the Nursery! ;-)

And here is my 2nd Attempt after watching Jen's Awesome Basics Tutorial HERE... Big improvement, lol.. ;-) Though I still feel I need LOTS more practice! ;-)  I stamped my Sweet Teacup Bouquet with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Watercolor CS, and I did heat set it just for good measure before I started to watercolor with my Distress Markers.  Once my images were completely dry, I cut them out with the help of my Classic Circles & Scalloped Circles Nesties sets, inked the edges with a touch of Tumbled Glass Distress ink and popped them up with a bit of foam tape. My mats and BG layers were created with Choice Buttercream CS, Kraft CS, TE's Scallops & Circles Impression Plate, TE's Small Scallop Border Die and Simple Stories Darling Vintage Bliss Dp's... To finish them all up I stamped my Many Minis Occasions Sentiments onto TE's Designer Mini Tags and added Sweet little bows created with my Bow Easy...8-)

The Baker's Dozen have lots more Amazing Goodies in store for you this morning, so hop on over and see... 8-)
