I absolutely fell in love with this stamp as soon as I saw it!  I love the large size of the flower and all the colouring possibilities!  I’d love to heat emboss it in white and water colour it – imagine how gorgeous that would be!  When I get time I’ll have a play, lol!  In the meantime I decided I wanted to use Copics for this challenge.  I went with a traditional tiger-lily colour and blended some warm yellows and oranges (very much my favourite right now!!).  I fussy cut the lily after I coloured it and used Avery Elle Pierced Circle dies to create a frame and popped the flower into it.  I finished off with a few Simon says Stamp sequins and mounted the panel onto an Avery Elle notecard (from the Citrus Collection).  The sentiment is from the Avery Elle So Happy set which goes perfectly with the style of this flower I think.

Avery Elle: Simply Said: AMAZING

Hello – it’s Monday so I’m once again over on the Avery Elle blog and today I’m featuring the Simply Said: AMAZING stamps and die.  Remember that card I made the other day with the Seal-abrate stamp set?  I created a water coloured panel and then cut the middle out to create a frame.  Well, I used that peice of card and cut the Amazing from it for this card!

Howdy!  I am so in love with how the colours  turned out for this card!  The zingy yellows and oranges in the the Kuretake Gansai water colour paints and the Clean Colour markers are so vibrant they almost make my eyes water!!  I created my watercolour background panel using the Kuretake paints on Tim Holtz cardstock.  Whilst that was drying I used the Pretty Pink Posh duo die to cut a tag but I only wanted the centre part (so it would look a bit like a trellis) so I just trimmed it down.  I stamped the butterflies from the Lawn Fawn Flutter By set in Versamark and then heat embossed it in white and finally coloured them with my Zig Clean Colour markers (what a sheer JOY they are!!).  I then just assembled the card placing some silver thread behind the frame, a few sequins dotted around and stamped the sentiment in a bold black to complete the card!
