Welcome friends to this month's Blast from the Past blog hop with Taylored Expressions!! I was happy to play again this month, especially when I found out that the them was S*P*R*I*N*G!!
I had have wanted this image ever since it came out. It sat in my wish list for ever and on my last order I just knew it had to come live with me. This cutie is from A Year of Sweets 2 from Taylored Expressions. Doesn't Cuppie just look so relaxed sitting amongst all of the lovely spring flowers? I also picked up this fun new scallop border during my last shopping spree. If you haven't added any of Taylor's dies to your stamping repertoire I highly suggest it. They are great quality and a fantastic way to switch things up with your crafting. And they best part.... they cut like buttah!
The patterned paper is also a new purchase during my last trip to my LSS. It's from Three Bugs in a Rug's Chloe collection. I thought the flower pattern complimented Cuppie. I airbrushed the sky and some of the grass while my image was still in my die to get the white border around the image. After I was done I went back with my Copic YG17 and added little tufts of grass by hand.
