Avery Elle … Beside The Sea

Happy Monday everyone!  It’s particularly happy here in the UK as it’s a Bank Holiday, yay!  Hope you’re enjoying it whatever you’re up to.  My card is perfectly times today as it features a set I designed for the brand new Summer release from Avery Elle Stamps.  Beside The Sea is a wee 3×4″ stamp set featuring a row of cute beach huts and some little extra accessories to create the perfect little seaside scene.  As I drew the set I imagined a row of pastel-coloured beach huts and so here is the finished result!  I stamped the images in Versamark and then heat embossed them in white.  I used Zig Clean Colour Brush markers for the sun-bleached, washed out feel and the new Diagonal Stripes background die sets the scene perfectly!

Avery Elle … No Way

Hey there.  I’m sharing a card I created using the No Way stamp set from the brand new Summer 2017 release from Avery Elle Stamps.  The wee avocado with his little face is just cuteness overload!  I stamped him three times and masking each time for a simple design that anyone would love!  The set has various sentiments you can stamp to go with the “Holy Guacamole” stamp – such a clever set!

Avery Elle Summer Release Blog Hop

It’s that exciting time again – a brand new Summer Release from Avery Elle Stamps!  I am so happy when the new goodies are finally available and we can start sharing all the fun projects we’ve been working on.  I have designed 2 new stamp sets and coordinating Elle-ments in this release and am thrilled to be showcasing them today in this amazing blog hop.  You should have jumped here from my fabulous friend Karolyn Loncon’s blog but if you want to start at the beginning (and you really should) then go HERE to the Avery Elle Blog.
Right, so onto my creations!  The first of the two sets I’ve designed this time is called Floral Bouquet.  It has a bunch of flowers as a large single stamp and then other elements such as leaves and buds so you can create your own display!  I’ve made 2 cards each time pairing the flowers with one of the amazing new frame dies from the release (going to the very top of my “must-have” die list by the way).  On the first card the images are stamped in New Moon Dye ink and then coloured with Copics  and finished with a coating of Spectrum Noir shimmer.

The flowers on this second card were stamped in Versamark then heat embossed in white.  I used Kuretake Tambi Gansai water colours this time and used a blue card base to complement the images.
