Hi here today with a card and short video showing how I used the Take A Peek stamp set and Elle-ments. I went for a “coffee and cream” colour palette as inside my little envelope on the card I’ve hidden a Starbucks card.
Here’s a wee video showing how it all came together.
Supplies:
Double Pierced Rectangles Elle-ments
It was my nephew’s birthday recently and he went into double figures – yay! We bought him a shark nanobot thingy as a gift so I thought it would be cool to create a card to compliment the present – and what better set to reach for than one I designed myself for Avery Elle, Hello Chum. I know I’m totally biased but I STILL love this set. I love sharks so this will always be close to my heart.
I created the background panel using alcohol inks on Yupo paper. A very addictive pass time that is – alcohol marker play. I used the Horizontal Stripes dies and number balloon dies along with the sentiment from the Birthday Bus set all from Avery Elle.

I recently made my first purchase from Ellen Hutson.com and boy are their products amazing! I picked up a few sets and most of the Catherine Pooler Inks – can’t wait to get stuck into them! I got to playing and noticed the current Pinsights Challenge – how could you not be inspired by that colour palette?
Anyhoo, here’s what I made. The first card was created by blending Distress Oxide Inks on Tim Holtz watercolour paper then spritzing with water and some Heidi Swapp Gold Lame colour shine. I then overlaid the panel with the MFT Sun Ray stencil and applied white gesso over it. While that was drying I stamped the image from Mermaid Tail in vermark onto vellum and heat embossed it with Gold Tinsel embossing powder from Ranger. I chose the sentiment from Avery Elle’s Mermaid stamp set anf heat embossed it in gold Avery Elle embossing powder. I assembled everything onto the card adding some gold thread and a few rainbow sequins here and there. Sweet huh?

Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder – Ranger
Gold Lame Colour Shine Spray – Heidi Swapp
My second card uses the stunning Mondo Peony stamp set from the Essentials By Ellen line. I stamped the large image in gold embossing powder the used Zig Clean Colour Brush Markers to add loose areas of colour randomly across the image. I then sprayed it quite heavily waith water and blended it until I was happy. It did go in the bin at one point because it looked a hot mess! I grabbed it out again though and played with it some more and actually was quite happy in the end!! I added a good spray of shimmer mist to it before fussy cutting it out and putting it on a 4 bar sized card. To finish I added a strip of gold and die cut the happy from Avery Elle’s Sentimental Too dies and the birthday from the co-ordinating stamp set.
