I’m back today with one last look at one of the new sets being released this month at Clearly Besotted.  Today I’m sharing a card made with a very stylish little set called “Accent It“.  I thought this set would be great for background building designs so with the help of my MISTI (no way I could’ve lined the stamps up without it) I created this design.  Although the colours are a bit bright for her, I thought the pattern was a bit reminiscent of Orla Kiely – maybe it’s just me!

I used Avery Elle pigment inks in Magenta and Daisy, stamping alternate colours to create the pattern.  I used a piece of plastic as an aid to placing the stamp so it was lined up perfectly each time – I would never have attempted this and got it to work so perfectly without the MISTI – I love this thing!

I finished off the card with some Doodlebug Sprinkles and stamped the sentiment from another new set this month called Sugar and Spice in Onyx  black Versafine ink.

Well that’s it from me.  Don’t forget the new release goes live tonight at 10pm – woohoo!  Check out the rest of the design team for more fabulous examples.

Hey there – I’m back with a look at another of the gorgeous new sets coming from Clearly Besotted this month.  This one is called Keep In Touch and has some fabulous, modern images including this gorgeous typrewriter.  I added some colour with some Copics and them covered it in glossy accents to give it the look of an old, cream, enamel effect.

I am slightly obsessed with the the new Avery Elle paper pads (the diagonal striped patterns in particular) and also with making these little 4-0bar cards – they are definitely my favourite size at the moment!

Right – we’re off for a wee Easter Saturday day out with the kids today and I’m still sitting in my pj’s!   Make sure you pop over to Steph’s blog and the amazing design team for lots more inspiration.

I’m back with another little glimpse at one of the new sets being released this month at Clearly Besotted.  This is a cute little set called Best Dad – and is perfect for little boy’s birthdays, Father’s Day etc.

I started with a 4-bar sized card base and cut a piece of striped paper from the Avery Elle neutrals paper pad and used a circle die to create and aperture.  I stamped, cut and coloured the little sailboat from the set and also used the wave border die to make a little scene!  The sentiment is stamped in Aquamarine ink from Avery Elle I finished with a little bit of twine to keep in with the nautical feel!
