Taylored Expressions Challenge #94!

Had to pull this photo.....see you Monday!

Happy Friday! Well this week just FLEW! Most of the time I didn't know whether we were coming or going and trying to maintain the delicate balance of a very full Christmas schedule! I have noticed that this year in particular is very busy but I think that is because my kids are old enough to have a social life...but not old enough to drive. Their social life is ours right now and don't get me wrong...I'm NOT complaining as I know I will miss these days soon enough. I am just thrilled it is FRIDAY!

I showed you a wintery tag yesterday so today's tag is a little more general. I picked up these great memory capsules and couldn't wait to try them out!
It was so easy to make a little frame with my spellbinder dies, I could just slip them over top of the bubble to see which sizes I would need.

I thought this gorgeous botanical flower stamp matched the feel of this paper perfectly! I stamped and then colored the flower with copics, I also went over the flower with my clear spica pen for some shimmer. I used some microbeads for the memory capsule....tip: don't use too many beads or you won't see your lovely image.

I tacked down some trim on the bottom of my tag as well as above my sentiment. If you look closely you can see how I followed the sketch. One main panel and then two off set panels (my flower and my sentiment). I love Taylor's sketches for inspiration, they are truly a creative "kick-start"!
Here is a close up of the capsule. So pretty with the beads and I let my circle wander a little off the edge of my tag for fun. I used my copics RV0000, RV11 and R37 to color the flower...I know, not a common color combo but it worked really well giving me a lot of contrast on the petals in a very small amount of space.
