ReLEASE DAY -at Taylored Expressions!!!!!!!

Good Morning Everyone!!!

Today is release day over at Taylored Expressions - and today the Baker's Dozen will be showing you more of the Stamp A La Carte stamps that were a HUGE hit at CHA a couple of weeks ago! There are 8 different animals that you can purchase individually and along with this, Taylor is also releasing a coordinating sentiment stamp set that perfectly fits all of the animal images here in this adorable Animals in love set drawn by the UBER talented Nancy McKinney. Yesterday, I showed some samples with the elephants and super cute owlies! Today, I wiil be showing you some cards with the super sweet turtle and familingo sets!!!'

My first card is of these super sweet Turtles... I have always loved turtles and love the sentiment that goes with it is hilarious - "I Turtally love you!" Love it!!! I created a little card/giftset. I saw this cute little candy box in the store that was supposed to be a frog - but he looked like a turtle to me! So I added the sentiment "I Turtally love you!" to the side of the box and added a little sheer ribbon :) (and inside had some fudge covered animal crackers (which were DECLiCiOuS by the way!! lol!) -

Here is another view of the card , I love these sweet turtles and had fun creating this card - I added lots of chunky glitter and some bling and finished it with some adirondack pearls and faux stitching :)

Its hard to have a favorite because every single one of the animals are just adorable! I adore the flamingo images and the sentiment" "My Soulmate" is just perfect for any of the images - but I couldn't wait to use it with the darling Flamingos :) I wanted to have a card with more gold, pink, violet and red hues in it:

Here is a close up of the flamingos and bling - I added a little puffy heart embellishments to their sweet little hearts:

These flamingos also remind me of a t-shirt that I used to have growing up that was teal blue and pink with flamingos in the middle - so I created this card inspired by my t-shirt from when I was a teenger :) I used the scallop punch to kinda create waves:

Here is close up picture of the flamingos which are covered in lacquer and have a fine Raspberry Soda glitter sprinkled on them:
