Avery Elle – Easter Blessings

Hello there and Happy Monday.  I’m popping in today with more goodness from Avery Elle and this time I’m featuring a cute little stamp set called Easter Blessings.  Spring is definitely in the air and signs are appearing everywhere I look – daffs, lambs…rain!

I wanted some nice, soft pastel colours to reflect the new season so embossed the image in white and then used my watercolours to give that lovely soft feel.  For fun I gave the bunnies some cottontails using a REALLY old product from eons ago – white liquid applique.  I forgot how cool this stuff is!  If you haven’t tried it – you apply the liquid to the area and then carefully (it can burn) heat it and it puffs up like fluff!  Great for snow and bunny’s tails!

Hope you have a wonderful week.

Mum’s day

Good morning!  In the UK today is Mother’s Day and so I’m sharing a couple of cards I created for both mum and mum-in-law. I used the gorgeous Simon Says Stamp March card kit and some sentiment stamps from Clearly Besotted.

wed-newchallenge-header

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Thank you for joining us for the Special Lady/Girly Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

We will be back soon with the name of the lucky winner of the $50 Voucher

This week the challenge is

THINGS THAT FLY

Spring will soon be here and our gardens will be buzzing with bees, butterflies, birds and all sorts of little insects. It is also at around this time of year that our thoughts turn to summer vacations and flying away to sunny locations ! There are so many options that you can use for this challenge !

We are showcasing AMERICAN CRAFTS PRODUCTS this week. You don’t have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

I was inspired by the gorgeous black and yellow colour scheme in the March Simon Says Stamp kit so started with that by pulling out some card and polka dot patterned paper and of course the FABULOUS border die!  I’ve also been DIE-ing (geddit) to play with the Kite shaker die from the Hop To It release which of course ties in beautifully with our “Things That Fly” challenge theme.  I used some American Crafts twine to create the tail of the kite and filled the kite shaker with some white sequins.  After waiting for it on backorder I just got my Wishing sentiments stamps and dies and thought the font went perfectly with the kite theme.
