Avery Elle … Critter Crew

16.04.2018 by Caryn Davies Leave a Comment

Hey, I’m over on the Avery Elle Blog today with a colourful card featuring the fun Critter Crew stamp set and co ordinating dies. I just love these wee guys Heather has created and love to see where they’re going to pop up next. For my card I created a background using Distress Oxide inks splattered with gold spray and adhered a Polka Plate die cut over the top to break up the background a little.

Next I stamped the Critter Crew twice and fussy cut around the front “layer” so I could have them popped up to give a bit more dimension to the scene. I coloured them all with Copics and for some bling I added Avery Elle glitter to their hats!

For some added sparkle I die cut the Star Frame using gold glitter adhesive paper and placed it onto the card before popping the Critters on top. To finish I stamped the sentiment in (from Toucan Party) in gold embossing powder and added it to the front of the card.

Ellen Hutson Pinsights Challenge – Pantone Attitude Colour Palette

27.03.2018 by Caryn Davies 5 Comments

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?

Supplies:

Mermaid Tale – Essentials By Ellen

Mermaid Tail Dies

Mermaids – Avery Elle

Sun Ray Stencil – MFT

Gesso

Distress Oxide Inks

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.

Supplies:

Mondo Peony Stamp Set – Essentials By Ellen

Simon Says … Embossing with WOW!

14.06.2017 by Caryn Davies 6 Comments

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Thank you for joining us for the last week’s challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

Embossing

This week we are showcasing products from WOW! You don’t have to use them for the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used.

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

For my card today I used the gorgeous Hero Arts Glorious Petal stencil and combined it with Distress Oxide Inks and clear embossing over the top. I started by brushing Cracked Pistachio over the centre area and brought in some Worn Lipstick just around the outside edge. With the stencil still in place I pressed some Versamark ink over the top. I removed the stencil and sprinkled the card with Wow Clear Gloss embossing powder and heated it. For the panel across the top I die cut a strip of white card with the largest of the scallop edge dies from Simon Says Stamp. I then used Cracked Pistachio and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink again to stamp the Happy and Everything from Sentimental Too from Avery Elle. To finish I added a few drops of Nuvo Jewel Drops.
