Avery Elle – Storybook

06.05.2014 by 2 Comments

I am proud to be showcasing my favourite set from the current release over at Avery Elle – Storybook.  It was designed by the gorgeous and very sweet Heather Campbell and features the cutest little critters ever!  I have three cards to share today so I’ll get on with it shall I?

I know this set has been extremely popular since it was released and I am not at all surprised.  Heather has created such a special set and I am thrilled everyone loves it as much as I do!

Well, I better get myself off to bed – can’t handle these late nights any more (must be getting old!!).

Avery Elle – Brushed

21.04.2014 by 4 Comments

Hey all and Happy Easter Monday!  I hope you’re enjoying a glorious bank holiday wherever you are.  All being well I should be relaxing with the family and enjoying something nice and chilled on a beach in Wales!  I’m scheduling this post so hope I’m not tempting fate!!

Today I’m over on the Avery Elle design blog sharing a few cards I’ve made with the fabulous new Brushed set.  Watercolour effects are everywhere at the moment and so this super-trendy set is perfect for getting the painted look without the mess!!

The cards also showcase just how gorgeous the new Avery Elle pigment inks are – the colours are just beautiful.

Avery Elle April/May Release Blog Hop!

 Hey everyone – if hopping along you should have arrived here from Brenda Weaver’s wonderful blog – are you enjoying everything you’ve seen so far?  I’m so delighted to be joining in on my first ever Avery Elle Blog Hop – this release is just amazing and I’m sure you’ll agree – there is something for everyone!  I have two cards to share with you both showcasing the stunning Write It stamp set.  This is a fabulous calligraphy style sentiment set (sooooo trendy right now) that you are going to just fall in love with.

Seriously Awesome (Write It)For the first card I used Avery Elle card stock in Daisy and Sea Glass and stamped the sentiment with gold Delicata ink.  Like that background pattern?  It from another new set being released called Woodgrain and More!

Write ItFor the next card  I stamped the sentiment in Spiced Marmalade distress ink and then went over it with a water brush to spread the ink around.  I also added some splatters with the brush too.  When it was all dry I stamped over the original stamp with Versafine Onyx Black.

The next stop on the hop is the gorgeous and talented (and so sweet) Heather Campbell.  If you want to go back and start at the beginning, the order is listed at the end of this post.
