Avery Elle … Stoked

25.04.2016 by Leave a Comment

Hello and HAPPY MONDAY!  Hope it’s nicer where you are than here in the north of England!!  Today I’m sharing the card I made for my little nephew Alex not so long ago.  I used the fantastic “Stoked” stamp set from Avery Elle and gave him a shock of blond hair – just like the real thing!  I am getting down to last few bits and pieces of my Everyday paper pad (don’t worry – I have brand new one waiting to be devoured) so thought I’d put the scraps to good use and add some funky patterns to the background.

stoked

To personalise it for him I used the ever-so-useful Elle’s Alphas to put his name onto the front of the drum kit!

Thanks for stopping by.

As soon as I saw this Hero Arts stamp set in action I knew it needed to go right into my basket!  I tried lots of different colour combos but the one I favoured was this one using a mixture of Hero Arts, Simon Says Stamp and Ranger dye inks (listed below).  The top layer was also restamped using Versamark and clear embossed to add even more dimension.  I love the final look of these gorgeous orchid images.  To colour match the sentiment I used the Wild Orchid dye ink from Ranger and coloured a piece of card before die cutting with the “birthday” from A Tag For All from Avery Elle.

Make it girly HA

Avery Elle … Pure Magic

11.04.2016 by 2 Comments

I have a sparkly little number to share with you today featuring the cute (and very teeny) little stamp set Pure Magic from Avery Elle.  I recently created a card for a friend using this colour scheme and liked it so much I thought I’d use it for my magic-inspired card today.  I combined the rabbit image with a perfect sentiment from another fabulous Avery Elle set, Be A Unicorn.  A match made in heaven I think!

Magic

I stamped the image in New Moon dye ink and coloured the hat with a gold wink of Stella pen.  It’s so shimmery in real life.  Make sure you check out the Avery Elle Blog each day for tons of great ideas and inspiration.
