Avery Elle – Fly By

04.05.2015 by 1 Comment

I’m over on the Avery Elle blog today with a card featuring the gorgeous Fly By stamp set and dies.  I actually went for a different look and rather than use the aeroplane image I focussed on the cool sentiment dies that are included in the die collection.  I’m really into stripes at the moment (just take a look at my last few blog posts) and the Avery Elle patterned paper packs all contain a fabulous diagonal stripe paper in them.  I used the black and white one for this card from the Neutrals collection.  I also used some gold foils to give the die cut sentiment and hearts a shiny look.

It’s a bank holiday here in the UK today so I’m having a bonus day off from work – hope you’re having a great day wherever you are.

Avery Elle / Chameleon Pens Blog Hop

20.04.2015 by 43 Comments

 

Hello – we have a fabulous blog hop celebration going on all week at Avery Elle.  We have teamed up with Chameleon Pens and every day both design teams are bringing you loads of inspiration with a chance to win some amazing prizes.

I have been playing with the Pastels set of pens and used the Cupcake stamp set.  I started with a Kraft card base from the Natural notecards pack and used one of the flowers from the Cupcake set to stamp a subtle background in Versamark ink.  I coloured the cupcake using the Bubblegum Pink and Bisque pens and chose a red Copic for the cherry!  Although it’s difficult to see I gave the frosting a coating of glossy accents and then stamped the greeting to finish.  I die cut the panel using the smaller frame from Finished Frames and mounted it on the base card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Avery Elle – Ellie

13.04.2015 by 6 Comments

Hi there – I’m up on the Avery Elle blog today with a card featuring the cutest little elephant set ever – Ellie!  I love that elephants are so popular right now – my daughter Pippa (7) is completely obsessed with them – I mean OB.SESSED!  I used distress inks to create the blended background and then created the panel using the Finished Frames die set.  Ellie was coloured in with Copics and the balloons were finished off with a good layer of glossy accents.
