Avery Elle: Balloon Giraffe

Hello and welcome to another week!  Todays Avery Elle card features another of their fabulous ballon animal stamp sets – the Giraffe!  This goes hand in hand with their other sets Party Bunny and Party Animal! I stamped the balloon Giraffe in Versamark onto black card and heat embossed it in clear powder.  You can just about make out the detail but black is so hard to photograph!!!  I wanted this card to be for my little nephew who just turned 6 so to keep it simple and a bit more “boyish” I added the frame detail using the Scalloped Frame die and die cut some stars from the Finished Frames set.  I also cut the Simply Said: Amazing die from black and used the companion stamp set to finish off the sentiment.

Avery Elle – Little Minds

Hello everyone – today on the Avery Elle blog I’m sharing a card using an awesome set called Little Minds designed with teachers in mind.  I stamped the apple image with Versamark and heat embossed it in white before colouring it with Zig Clean Colour markers.  For the background I used the Pierced Rectangle dies to create a subtle background texture and used some Lemon Grass pigment ink to sponge a small area and placed my die-cut apple over the top.  I mounted the panel onto a Lemon Grass notecard (can’t live without these now!!)

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!
