Avery Elle … Sentimental Too

One of my favourite stamp and die sets from Avery Elle Stamps last year was the Sentimental collection.  What a fantastic concept – I have used both the stamps and dies many times on my cards.  Well this year we have Sentimental Too!  An additional collection of amazing sentiments in the same gorgeous style as the first batch.  I’ve paired it here with a set I designed for the latest release, Floral Bouquet and I think it is a match made in heaven!

I had fun creating a background using Distress Oxide inks this week.  I love the way they just melt into each other – and these three colours just go so well together.  I kept the rest of the card clean and simple to create a card perfect for a Dad’s birthday or even Father’s Day!!  By the way, our sister Challenge (the Monday Team) have a masculine themed challenge this week so make sure you link up your creation to both challenges for two chances to win!!

Avery Elle … Mom and Dad

Hi there!  I have a card to share today using the gorgeous Mom and Dad stamp set from the latest release from Avery Elle Stamps.  I paired this set with the stunning Heart Frame die which I die cut from gold glitter adhesive paper – LOVE!!  I stamped the sentiment and flower cluster in gold embossing powder and filled it in using Nuvo Jewel Drops to add some subtle colour.  The glossy, dimension looks fab!  For a little background interest I spritzed the card base with some gold splatters <3
