Avery Elle Blog Hop Summer 2018 Release

10.05.2018 by 31 Comments

Hey there!  It’s Avery Elle Summer Release Day!  Woohoo!  You should have arrived here from the Avery Elle Blog but if you’re lost, you can find a full list down below!

I’m delighted to be sharing a card using one of the sets I designed in this release, Fuchsia and co-ordinating elle-ments.  Fuchsias are  one of my favourite flowers of all time, they remind me of little ballet dancers!!  I used one of the pieces of water coloured yupo paper I created in THIS video from a few weeks ago.  I dropped Avery Elle liquid water colours in Cherry, Fizz and Mimosa onto the paper and it gave me a gorgeous peachy coloured effect.  I added this as a background to a die cut I created using another of our fabulous new dies from this release, Focal Point Stripes.  I then stamped the Fuchsia images onto white watercolour card using Versamark and heat embossed it in Avery Elle Rose Gold Embossing Powder (swoon).  I then coloured it with the same Cherry, Fizz and Mimosa liquid watercolours and Celery for the leaves.

I stamped one of the gorgeous sentiments onto a 41/2 x 5 1/4 card and heat embossed it with the Rose Gold powder.  To finish I picked out some peach coloured sequins to finish it off with some sparkle.

 

Supplies:

Fuchsia Clear Stamps

Fuchsia  Elle-ments

Focal Pint Stripes Elle-ments

Liquid Watercolors

Rose Gold Embossing Powder

Make sure you hop on over to my chum Heather Campbell to see what delights she has in store for you.  Happy Hopping!

Avery Elle … Hand Drawn Florals

01.05.2018 by Leave a Comment

Hey, I’m over on the Avery Elle Blog sharing a card using the very pretty and versatile Hand Drawn Florals stamp set.  I love the whimsical feel of the flowers and they are so fun to colour.  Today I’ve used the Sapphire and Mint to Be liquid watercolours mixed with some subtle shimmer and a few Nuvo drops here and there for added bling.

 

I started with a stone coloured card base and added a white die cut using Horizontal Stripes (my favourite!).  I stamped the flowers using Versamark ink onto the textured side (just for a change) of some Tim Holtz watercolour cardstock and heat embossed them with Avery Elle Silver embossing powder.  I painted them with the watercolours and then decided to fussy cut them instead of die cut them with the dies.

I then simply arranged the flowers how I wanted them to the card front and finished with a sentiment from the Floral Bouquet set and a few clear sequins.

#getcrackingonchristmas – April 2018

19.04.2018 by 3 Comments

 

The third Thursday of the month is upon us again so this calls for us to Get Cracking On Christmas!  If you’ve not heard about this idea then let me bring you up to speed.  A few of my fellow crafty friends (Jenn Shurkus, Chari Moss and Cheiron Brandon) all got to chatting and decided that this year they would try to get a head start on their Christmas cards by challenging themselves to create at least one every month.  I thought this was a superb idea so I jumped in on the gig too!!!

This month I have played with an amazing set from Sunny Studio Stamps that I bought LAST year but never got a chance to ink up – Holiday Style .  I have had the pleasure to meet Mendi (the owner) at Creativation a couple of times and boy is she a sweetheart.  Such a nice lady.  Her ability to create these realistic looking designs is amazing!

Here’s my card created using the 3-step bell image and pine branches.  It’s difficult to see but I added shimmer and glossy accents to the bells too!

 

Supplies:

Holiday Style Clear Stamps – Sunny Studio

Green Tea Ink – Catherine Pooler

Inks For the Bell – Memento London Fog, Simon Says Stamp Smoke, Memento Tuxedo Black

Inks For the Bow – Avery Elle Strawberry, Catherine Pooler Rockin Red and Peppermint Scrub.

 

Make sure you pop along to the other girls and see what they’ve got in store for our festive inspiration this month:
