Avery Elle / Tombow USA Blog Hop

 

TombowAveryElleHopBadge

Hello and welcome to the Tombow USA and Avery Elle Blog Hop! You should have arrived here from the Jenny’s blog (Earthyscrap) but if you stumbled across my blog by chance, make sure you start the hop party at the Avery Elle Blog.

I’m so happy to be sharing some fantastic products with you today.  Tombow were generous enough to give us some of their amazing coloured pencils to play with in gorgeous pastel colours.  The Tombow’s Irojiten colored pencils in Soft Primary are so pretty and a dream to use – I was able to get a great blended look using them.  The Avery Elle Butterflies set was a perfect stamp set to try out these great pencils and I’m so pleased with how they turned out.

I LOVE the bright and bold colour combinations you always get with Doodlebug products.  They’re both at CHA last year was one of the cheeeriest, happiest places to be – everything was just so fun!  For my card I wanted to combine a couple of the papers from the Springtime paper pack and added a simple bold sentiment from Avery Elle’s Big Greetings to bring the colour scheme together.  A bit of twine and a wee lady bird to finish it off was all this clean and simple card needed 🙂
EDITED:  Unfortunately it appears the Springtime paper pad is no longer available but Simon Says Stamp have a TON of other fabulous Doodlebug paper pads to choose from which would work just as well in this design.  Look HERE!

Avery Elle / Pretty Pink Bosh Blog Hop

AE_PPP

 

Woohoo – Today is DAY 1 of a 2 day blog hop event joining the creative forces of Avery Elle and Pretty Pink Posh.  Both the Design Teams are participating in this fabulous journey and if you’re on the right road, you should have arrived from the wonderful blog of HEATHER HOFFMAN.  The full list in down below if you’ve gotten lost!!

In order to be in with a chance of winning a $25 Avery Elle gift certificate or a $25 Pretty Pink Posh gift certificate make sure you leave a comment on every blog by July 24th.  4 winners will be picked at random and announced on both the Avery Elle and Pretty Pink Posh Blogs so the more you comment the more chance there is of winning!

So onto my card.  I paired the Avery Elle Band Camp stamp set with the gorgeous Scalloped Squares from PPP.  There’s also some extra sparkle thanks to some PPP sequins in Aquamarine and Lemon Drop.  I used Avery Elle Pigment inks to blend my background and tie the whole theme together.

Your next stop is the fabulous JULIA ALTERMANN.  Make sure you join in again tomorrow with the rest of the Design Team  – happy hopping!
