TE Blast From the Past Blog Hop

It's time again for the Blast from the Past Blog Hop at Taylored Expressions!  I love seeing some of the sets I haven't used in a while appear and inspire me to get them out again!  For my card today, I used the Discover Your Wings set. 
I "stamped" my Creole Spice Kaleidacolor pad right onto the cardstock to create the background for the butterfly.  I then stamped the butterfly in Versamark ink and embossed it in black. 
I used a border punch for the bottom edge of the focal panel and tied some twill as well. 
I just love this sentiment.  I always have.  It's one of those sentiments that could be used for so many different occasions too. 

DON'T FORGET! We will be drawing one random hopper to receive a FREE Taylored Expressions stamp set of your choice and we'll also be choosing another creation to be featured in an upcoming TE newsletter.

Also, Taylored Expressions is offering a special Blast from the Past sale in order to help you prepare for our next customer blog hop! Our October blog hop is all about Christmas and we'll be featuring past Christmas stamps from Taylored Expressions in our creations. The following select Christmas sets are 20% off through Sunday, September 26th so it's a great time to pick one up and join us on the hop next month.
