This card was inspired by another I made at Christmas (you can find the details HERE).  I was asked to make a Valentines card for a friend of mine with a duck-egg blue and red combo (one of my favourites!) and so thought I’d put my Minc to good use and create this.  The sheet music is from an image I found on the internet which I printed onto vellum on my laser printer.  I then added the mint-coloured foil with the Minc and die cut the panel using the Wonky Stitches die from Avery Elle.    The card base is from the Caribbean Collection of notecards (Avery Elle also) and I created a watercolour piece to go under the vellum just to give a subtle background texture.

ANYTHING GOES MEMORY BOX CU
I printed off a sheet of solid black toner and then ran it through the minc with more of the mint foil and also some red.  I then die cut my pieces and assembled them on the front of the card.

Avery Elle … Hogs and Kisses

21.02.2016 by 3 Comments

I have a card today using the fabulous Hogs and Kisses stamp set from Avery Elle – isn’t it amazing?  Love the little faces on the Valentine’s critters – especially the piggy!!  I used the pierced rectangles and some new dies coming at the end of February – pierced clouds!!  Thought I’d go for a more non-traditional approach to my Valentine’s card for hubby this year – no pinks or reds this time!! I coloured the images with Copics and popped the hearts up for a bit more dimension.

Hello!  It’s Avery Elle day on my blog today and for today I’m sharing an amazing set called Pixie Dust!  I know this has been SO popular since it was released and it’s obvious why – how cute are these little fairies??!!  My gorgeous team mate Heather designed this set and it is SO fun to colour.  The sentiments are awesome too!
