I just got a bunch of new goodies this week from MFT so this challenge was perfectly timed!  I fell in love with the new You Gnome Me set and thought the small brick stencil would make a perfect background.  I used Distress inks in Fired Brick and Old Paper to stipple a brick effect onto some white card stock and then stamped and coloured one of the gorgeous gnomes in Distress markers.  I die cut the flowers and stems from the Spring Garden Die-namics set and paired it up with a little fence and grass from Taylored Expressions.  The frame was cut from woodgrain cardstock using the Stitched Rectangle dies from Simon Says Stamp.

Avery Elle – Ellie

Hi there – I’m up on the Avery Elle blog today with a card featuring the cutest little elephant set ever – Ellie!  I love that elephants are so popular right now – my daughter Pippa (7) is completely obsessed with them – I mean OB.SESSED!  I used distress inks to create the blended background and then created the panel using the Finished Frames die set.  Ellie was coloured in with Copics and the balloons were finished off with a good layer of glossy accents.

ellieThe sentiment is from the gorgeous Cupcakes stamp set – I love the font – it’s so pretty xxx

I picked up the Raindrops stencil from Memory Box to use on my card this week – I love how versatile stencils are!  I placed it over my white card panel and then used white embossing paste over a section of it.  Before it dried I added some aqua coloured fine glitter for some bling!  I stamped and die cut the bear and umbrella from the Simon Says Stamp Abby’s Flowers stamp set.  and coloured them with Copics.  I also die cut the puddle from the co-ordinating die collection from some Stick It and adhered it to the design and added some glitter to that too!  I mounted my panel on to a Kraft card base from Avery Elle and finished with the Happy Spring sentiment!
