Avery Elle: Petal Panel

Hey there, I’m sharing a card over at Avery Elle today and this week I’ve been playing with the new Petal Plate die.  This die is SO cool and comes with different insert designs so you can use them to create all kinds of different patterns.

I took a piece of Tim Holtz watercolour card and added some  Kuretake Gamsai watercolour paint across the whole area so that there was a mixing of colours – I love the end result.  I then cut the panel from white card and used just the frame portion laid over the top.  I finished with the sentiment from the Petal Panel stamp set to finish it off.

Doughnuts anyone?

I am thrilled to be guest designing for the next few weeks for an amazing company with the sweetest owner ever, Waltzing Mouse Stamps!  When Claire asked me if I’d be interesting in celebrating her newest release I was so excited – and when I opened the package of goodies she sent me I was over the moon!  I’ve been playing with two of the new stamp sets and some co-ordinating dies.  The first card I’m sharing features the GORGEOUS We Go Together set and matching dies – how cute are those little dudes?!  Claire mentioned her kids are into kawaii (Japanese for cute I believe) at the moment – I have one of those too – she LOVES it.  This set is so HER!

Simon Says Stamp – The Colour of Fun

colorfun

I’m so excited by the brand new release from Simon Says Stamp called The Colour of Fun.  How can you be totally inspired by that colour palette – it’s just so scrummy!  I can’t wait to collect all of those new inks but in the meantime I have been having a wee play with some of the other new products in this release.  My first card features an AMAZING die – I just LOVE it.  I die cut the circle sentiment and cupcake from white card and popped out the frosting part of the cake and scribbled some RV81 (Rose pink) Copic marker over it (just roughly, I didn’t want it to be too smooth.  I coated it in Glossy Accents and then sprinkled some distress glitter on the top.  I used a panel of patterned paper from the Sorbet collection from Avery Elle and mounted it all onto an Avery Elle notecard.

My next card is a clean and simple one layer card using the Many Thanks stamp set and the Big Scripty Greetings set.  There is a design for everyone in this release – I have so much on my wish list!!
