Avery Elle – Penguin Greetings

Hey there peeps!  I’ve been playing with a great stamp set from Avery Elle called Penguin Greetings!  It features a cute little penguin family all decked out in their winter gear – I love it!  I started with a piece of watercolour card and sponged some cracked pistachio distress ink onto the centre area.  I also splattered some of the same colour onto the panel and then ran it through my Bigshot with the Wonky Stitches Elle-ments (can’t get enough of this die – may favourite right now)!  I kept the colouring of the penguins quite simple using Distress inks and then die cut the sentiment using another new set from Avery Elle called Holly Jolly Elle-Ments.

I’m really starting to think about Christmas now – as soon as the schools go back my mind just naturally starts getting festive!  With this in mind I was immediately drawn to the Deck The Halls stamp set from Taylored Expressions.  I love this set – it has some really fun Christmas critters!  I stamped the penguin then masked him off and sponged some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink behind him.  He was coloured with Copics and and had a few blobs of Glossy Accents added to finish off.  This is a VERY CAS card for me – not sure if it’s missing something actually!  Maybe I need to add some sequins?!

Avery Elle – Christmas Florals

Hello – popping in with a card  I have over on the Avery Elle blog today featuring the gorgeous Christmas Florals stamps and dies.  I created an aperture in a panel of white card using the Sweet Scallops die set and inlaid a black frame.  I used Cherry pigment ink to stamp and die cut some of the poinsettia blooms and Jungle ink for the foliage.  The sentiment was stamped inside the aperture and the the top panel popped up with foam adhesive.

Hope you’ve had a fun weekend where ever you are in the world!!
