Taylored Expressions February Blast From the Past Blog Hop!!

Welcome to my stop on the Taylored Expressions Blast from the Past February blog hop!! I am very excited to be part of the celebration again! This month's theme is to go green, and I did just that! For my card I chose Taylor's CreativiTEA set and picked a soft green floral/birds designer paper for the background. I used this same paper to paper piece the teapot on the center image. For the banner panel, I embossed it with swirls and birds, and sponged all of the white with a soft green to take away the brightness. I added three brads below the center panel to match the sketch and instead of the top circle element, I added a bow (of course!!). Finally, I stamped a sentiment in the bottom right corner.

I also wanted to share a card my nine year old daughter made for this blog hop!! How cool is that! For the green theme, she went right to Taylor's globe from Make the Grade and colored it with copics. She used the circle Spellbinder's Nestibilities for her image panel and picked some awesome embellishments. Way to go Emily!!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the blog hop!!
