Avery Elle – Happy Hour!

Hello and Happy Monday!  Today I’m sharing a card over on the Avery Elle blog featuring the Happy Hour stamp set and shaker dies!  I made a panel using the Wonky Stitches die and blended some Avery Elle pigment inks (Daisy, Fizz and Papaya) for my “tequila sunrise” background!  It’s hard to see but I used some distress glitter on the rim of the glass to look like sugar!

I absolutely fell in love with this stamp as soon as I saw it!  I love the large size of the flower and all the colouring possibilities!  I’d love to heat emboss it in white and water colour it – imagine how gorgeous that would be!  When I get time I’ll have a play, lol!  In the meantime I decided I wanted to use Copics for this challenge.  I went with a traditional tiger-lily colour and blended some warm yellows and oranges (very much my favourite right now!!).  I fussy cut the lily after I coloured it and used Avery Elle Pierced Circle dies to create a frame and popped the flower into it.  I finished off with a few Simon says Stamp sequins and mounted the panel onto an Avery Elle notecard (from the Citrus Collection).  The sentiment is from the Avery Elle So Happy set which goes perfectly with the style of this flower I think.

Avery Elle: Simply Said: AMAZING

Hello – it’s Monday so I’m once again over on the Avery Elle blog and today I’m featuring the Simply Said: AMAZING stamps and die.  Remember that card I made the other day with the Seal-abrate stamp set?  I created a water coloured panel and then cut the middle out to create a frame.  Well, I used that peice of card and cut the Amazing from it for this card!
