XOXO - Taylored Expressions... 8-)

Hi all! And a Very Happy Monday to you!! Hope you all had a Super weekend!;-) Well, today Im back with a quick post, to share my latest Taylored Expressions creation inspired by TE's Adorable Stuck On You stamp set and TE's Fab Heart Border Die to create a Sweet Valentines Card...;-)

I had lots of fun putting this Darling card together.  I just Love these Sweet little Hedgies! You can't help but smile right along with them they're so CUTE!! 8-) And also I thought I'd try my hand at creating some fun texture by using TE's Heart Border Die to make a faux embossed bg too...What do you think? Not too shabby, huh?...;-)

Well, I stamped my Sweet Stuck on You Hedgies with Memento Tuxedo Black onto TE's Choice Snow White CS and colored them up with my trusty Copics. I fussy cut them out and popped them up with a bit of foam tape for some fun dimension. My mats and BG layers were created with Bazzill CS, TE's Choice Kraft CS and MME's Lost & Found Heirloom 6x6 collection. To finish it all up I stamped my Stuck on You XOXO's directly onto my image, embossed with White EP and topped it all off with a cheery bow...8-)
