Avery Elle: Petal Panel

15.06.2015 by 2 Comments

Hey there, I’m sharing a card over at Avery Elle today and this week I’ve been playing with the new Petal Plate die.  This die is SO cool and comes with different insert designs so you can use them to create all kinds of different patterns.

I took a piece of Tim Holtz watercolour card and added some  Kuretake Gamsai watercolour paint across the whole area so that there was a mixing of colours – I love the end result.  I then cut the panel from white card and used just the frame portion laid over the top.  I finished with the sentiment from the Petal Panel stamp set to finish it off.

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

I’m excited that we’re featuring Avery Elle this week but it was tough to choose which products to use!  I love them all!  I finally decided to ink up wee Ellie – a fantastic little set designed by my friend Heather Campbell.  I also grabbed some extra images from the Storybook and More Stories (also designed by Heather coincidentally, lol).  I created the sky background with some Avery Elle pigment inks and used the new MFT grass border dies inked up with more pigment ink for a bit more dimension.

Avery Elle – Furry Friends

18.05.2015 by Leave a Comment

Hello – I’m over on the Avery Elle Blog today with a card I made for my neighbours who recently added the CUTEST puppy to their family.  She’s a Labradoodle called Amber and although she’s getting a bit fluffier as the weeks go by, this cute little dog from Furry Friends is a close representation of her.  I coloured her with Copics (she’s not quite that orange in real life but artistic license and all that!!) and used the Custom Panels dies to create a curved edge to my card base.  I then cut her name using the Avery’s Alpha’s Dies and placed some orange cardstock behind it to create the full card base.  I stamped the “Welcome to the neighborhood” sentiment from Home Sweet Home in a curve and finished off with a few paw prints here and there.

Of course the downside to any new puppy activity is the inevitable “mum can we get a dog … mum can we get a dog …..mum can we get a dog….”  you know how that goes!  Sadly the answer is always no (we work all day and go away quite a bit) so it wouldn’t be fair.  It is very tempting though!
