A Paper Melody: Field Notes Kit 2

Hi All! Today Taylored Expressions is releasing the Field Notes 2 Kit!! The Field Notes 1 Kit included some of my all time favorite stamps so I knew I would love the Field Notes 2 Kit! Lori Craig's illustrations are so pretty! The Field Notes 2 kit features the gorgeous Sketchbook Bouquet and several additional elements.

Here’s everything included the Field Notes 2 Kit – which retails for $55:

Sketchbook Bouquet stamp set
Sketchbook Bouquet Die
Sketchbook Bouquet Stencil
Splatter Background stamp
6 Watercolor 111 lb. A2 Cardstock Panels
6 Textured Watercolor A2 Envelopes
6 Custom Envelope Seals
Packaged in a zippered pouch with a custom kit label

Limited quantity available. Most items not available to purchase individually.

I have two cards to share with the kit. I stamped the Sketchbook Bouquet stamp set in Oreo Ink on watercolor paper and used Karin BrushmarkerPRO TE Palette - Taylor's Pick to watercolor the flowers. TE is releasing three palette sets of five BrushmarkerPRO. This is the perfect way to give the Brushmarkers a try without buying a full set!

I die cut the flowers with the Sketchbook Bouquet Die and tied black and white twine around the branches.

I cut a piece of Sugar Cube Cardstock with the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets. I blended Granny Smith Ink at the bottom and then used the Set the Scene - Clouds Stencil Strips and Cupcake Ink to create the sky. I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set at the bottom and the dots in the background with another stamp in the set. I cut another panel to fit the card front, stamped the stripes, and lightly blended Cupcake Ink.

On my second card I used the BrushmarkerPRO TE Palette - Heather's Picks to watercolor the flowers. I used a Detailer Tip Watercolor Brush (see link below). I like to add a little water to my paper before I add color. I suggest scribbling with you marker on a glass mat and then picking up the color with the watercolor brush.

I cut a piece of Sugar Cube Cardstock to fit the card front and blended Sweet Basil Ink around the edges, and stamped with the Splatter Background stamp included in the kit. I think I will get a lot of use out of this stamp! I used the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets to cut the rectangle in the card front and added a piece of vellum behind the flowers. I added diamond in the background with another stamp in the set along with the sentiment.
