Avery Elle… Viking

19.01.2016 by 1 Comment

Sorry I’m posting this a day late – it should’ve gone up yesterday!  My pattern is still totally off since returning from CHA in Anaheim – this jet lag is really something else!!  I can’t say I’m complaining though – I had the BEST time in the world.  Meeting up and getting to know some of my other Avery Elle teamies was just amazing.  Love those girls Jamie, Heather, Karolyn and Katie.

So onto today’s card.  I’ve been playing with the cuter-than-all-get-out Viking set and I LOVE it.  So fun to colour and at only $4 is a must-have!

Viking

How adorable is he??  This is a wee 4-bar sized card and I used the smaller Wonky Stitches frame on some woodgrain cardstock for my panel.  He was coloured with Copics then mounted on foam tape.  The hearts were stamped and cut using some red cardstock then I filled them in with a white gel pen.

Thanks for stopping by today.

I recently picked up this fabulous die set, the WPlus9 Pear Stackers from Simon Says Stamp and thought it would be perfect for an engagement card for my twin sister Susan who announced last week that she and her lovely boyfriend Pete are getting hitched next year! Woohoo!!!  I’m SO excited for them – and for the rest of us – who doesn’t love a good wedding?!!

I know it’s not your typical engagement card but I’m pretty sure she’ll appreciate it – they do make a perfect pair!  I started by sponging some Gold Delicata ink onto a panel of white card and then spritzed it with some Heidi Swapp Gold Lame spray.  I inked the edge of the panel with the gold ink too and stamped and embossed the sentiment in Ranger Gold ep.  I die cut the two larger pears and sponged on some Spun Sugar and Mowed Lawn Distress ink.  For the mottled effect I spritzed on some water and a few spots of the gold spray.  To finish off I added a bundle of gold thread underneath the pears and added some sequins for added bling!
