Avery Elle April/May Release Blog Hop!

AEBlogHopBadge

 Hey everyone – if hopping along you should have arrived here from Brenda Weaver’s wonderful blog – are you enjoying everything you’ve seen so far?  I’m so delighted to be joining in on my first ever Avery Elle Blog Hop – this release is just amazing and I’m sure you’ll agree – there is something for everyone!  I have two cards to share with you both showcasing the stunning Write It stamp set.  This is a fabulous calligraphy style sentiment set (sooooo trendy right now) that you are going to just fall in love with.

Seriously Awesome (Write It)For the first card I used Avery Elle card stock in Daisy and Sea Glass and stamped the sentiment with gold Delicata ink.  Like that background pattern?  It from another new set being released called Woodgrain and More!

Write ItFor the next card  I stamped the sentiment in Spiced Marmalade distress ink and then went over it with a water brush to spread the ink around.  I also added some splatters with the brush too.  When it was all dry I stamped over the original stamp with Versafine Onyx Black.

The next stop on the hop is the gorgeous and talented (and so sweet) Heather Campbell.  If you want to go back and start at the beginning, the order is listed at the end of this post.
