Time to Seal-abrate!

Hey there – just popping in with a quick post – busy, busy, busy here preparing for our holiday!  Today I’m featuring a cutey of a stamp set from Avery Elle called Seal-abrate (gotta love a good pun!).  I created a watercoloured panel from Tim Holtz cardstock and then cut it out using the wonky stitches die and then made it into a frame using the smaller of the wonky stitches dies (I’ve saved the middle for another card!).  I used one of the gorgeous sequin mixes from Lucy Abrahms for my shakery bits and coloured the seal using Copics!

I am IN LOVE with Lawn Fawn products so am so happy that the DT are featuring them this week.  One of the newest additions to my LF collection is So Jelly – I just love this set!  I thought it would pair very nicely with the Fish and Bowl dies from Simon Says Stamp so although this is a teeny little card, it’s as cute as a button!!

I coloured the jellies with Copics and used distress ink to blend a simple background.  I needed a short little sentiment to fit to decided to use the Milo’s ABC’s set to customise the card with the word Jello (as opposed to Hello – geddit??!!)!

Avery Elle: Peonies

Hey there – I’m up on the Avery Elle blog today sharing a card using the gorgeous Peonies stamp set (designed by the equally gorgeous Heather Campbell).  I did a fair bit of masking on this card to create my bunch of peonies in the corner of my water colour card panel.  I embossed each image one at a time with white embossing powder then used Kuretake Gansai paints to colour the flowers.  The sentiment is from the Cake and Candles set and I did a bit of snipping so that I could break it up instead of having it on one line.

Thanks for stopping by today xxx
