Avery Elle … Skating By

21.03.2016 by 2 Comments

Hello peeps – it’s Monday so as always I am sharing a card featuring one of the latest designs available from Avery Elle.  Today it’s Skating By – a gorgeous, fun set designed by Jamie and perfect for little girls’ birthdays etc.  I stamped the mages in the new Fog Dye Ink and then coloured them all in with Copics before die cutting.  I stamped the dress and bow onto some glitter paper and pieced them onto the image too.  As a surprise twist (NOT) I used the Wonky Stitches die to cut out my background panel from a mixture of papers from the Everyday and Brights collections.

Avery Elle – Floral Frame

16.03.2016 by 4 Comments

Hey  – today I have a couple of cards made using the STUNNING Floral Frames stamp set and dies from the latest Spring 2016 release from Avery Elle.  I have tried numerous times in the past to master the “no-line” colouring technique but failed miserably.  It always turned out as a HOT MESS, lol!  Rather than let it beat me I decided this stamp would be a great one to try again as it has lovely clean lines and open flowers.

For the first card I stamped the image in Memento Angel Pink ink and coloured it with Copic markers.  I die cut the sentiment from the A Tag For all die set in white and then coloured it in a ombre effect again with Copics.  I also used my favourite die – Wonky Stitches to create a bit more depth and dimension for the frame.

The second card also uses the no-line technique, this time stamped in Memento Desert Sand.  I think I’ve gone from hating this technique to LOVING it!

My Favourite Things is one of my favourite stamp companies – they have such fantastic designs and everything just speaks to my style of cardmaking – clean lines, amazing dies etc.  I am always excited to play with their products and have used three of my favourite products on my card today – the flamingo dies, the leafy greenery dies and the stitched vertical cover up die.  To give it some fun texture I cut the foliage from some awesome green glitter cardstock (although I’d like to make it again and use felt just for a different look)!  It’s really sparkly in real life but as usual the camera just doesn’t do it justice!!
