Be Jolly

Hello crafty peeps – today I’m over on the Avery Elle blog sharing a card featuring one of my favourite sets from the Fall release – Be Jolly.  This is another set designed by the insanely talented Heather Campbell – isn’t that the cutest snowman ever??  I created a panel by cutting a snow slope from white card using Custom Panels and layered it onto some Sea Glass card.  I then used Finished Frames to cut the two-tone panel.  The background effect was created with the Falling Snow stencil from Simon Says Stamp with white embossing paste which I then coated with Glitter Ritz white glitter. I finished the top of the slope with white Flower Soft (which I added to the snowman’s hat too)!.

It’s Your Time To Soar!

Hi – today I have a card using the gorgeous Look Up set from Avery Elle.  I stamped the sentiment and a couple of clouds onto some Tim Holtz water colour paper and then heat embossed them in white.  I then played with some distress inks (Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade) by dabbing them onto an acrylic block so the whole thing was covered in ink and then heavily spritzed with water.  I turned the block over and pressed down and let it sit for a few seconds.  When you remove the block you are left with a gorgeous mix of colour – and no two are ever the same!  I LOVE this technique!

Look UpThe panel was simply mounted onto a white A2 card base – the colour is so vibrant – I love it!!

Santa Claus is Coming To Town

Greetings!  Today I’m sharing a card featuring a fabulous Avery Elle set called Joy To The World.  The set features some gorgeous images designed to create a festive globe.  However, the round motifs can be used alone too as I have done here with my card.

Joy To The World

 

The circle image is stamped and heat embossed in white and then I’ve painted some dark cobalt blue water colour over the image in a freestyle way to represent a night sky.  The white image then pops and looks like a full moon (that’s how I see it anyway, lol)!!.
