Believe it or not this is the first time I’ve played with this gorgeous Mama Elephant set since buying it several weeks ago!  I know – shocking!  I just wish there were more hours in the day!  At least I’ve managed to ink it up now!  I used some woodgrain cardstock from Simon Says Stamp and added some stitched detail using one of the AHHH-MAZING new dies from the latest Avery Elle release!  I coloured the little critters from the Three Amigo’s set and attempted to add texture using Nichol Magouirk‘s (and several others) dot technique – I love how it worked – particularly on the raccoon!

Me friends

 

I used a little Avery Elle Linen ink under the critters to ground them and stamped the little greetings onto their flash cards (adorable)!

So now it’s YOUR turn, Happy Crafting

Simon Says Stamp June 2015 Card Kit – I’ve played at last!!

June-2015-Card-Kit-600

 

My goodness, where are these weeks going??!  I’ve had this amazing kit sitting on my desk for days but have only just managed to have a play with it!  I LOVE it so much – it’s one of my favourites so far (although I think I say that every month, lol).  I die cut one of the new MFT circle dies and whilst the die was still in place used a series of masking steps to get the stripes.  I used the Ranger dye inks (which I LOVE) and they blended beautifully!

Well thanks for popping by – hope I get to play a wee bit more with this kit this week so watch this space!!

Avery Elle: Tweet Tweet

Happy Monday to you all!  I’m  over on the Avery Elle blog today sharing a fab stamp set from the BRAND NEW summer release!  This set is called Tweet Tweet and the colouring possibilities are endless – I mean there’s a tropical bird SOMEWHERE in the the world with a blue body and a yellow tail, right?  I’m also featuring one of the FANTASTIC new die sets which make perfect double pierced circles – love them.  I took a piece of white cardstock and scribbled over an area with a few different Copics being sure to blend the colours giving a nice ombre effect.  Then I just used the dies (still attached to each other) to cut them out.  I think it sort of looks like a sunset behind the tree.

Thank you for dropping in – have a great Monday!
