Avery Elle / Pretty Pink Bosh Blog Hop

AE_PPP

 

Woohoo – Today is DAY 1 of a 2 day blog hop event joining the creative forces of Avery Elle and Pretty Pink Posh.  Both the Design Teams are participating in this fabulous journey and if you’re on the right road, you should have arrived from the wonderful blog of HEATHER HOFFMAN.  The full list in down below if you’ve gotten lost!!

In order to be in with a chance of winning a $25 Avery Elle gift certificate or a $25 Pretty Pink Posh gift certificate make sure you leave a comment on every blog by July 24th.  4 winners will be picked at random and announced on both the Avery Elle and Pretty Pink Posh Blogs so the more you comment the more chance there is of winning!

So onto my card.  I paired the Avery Elle Band Camp stamp set with the gorgeous Scalloped Squares from PPP.  There’s also some extra sparkle thanks to some PPP sequins in Aquamarine and Lemon Drop.  I used Avery Elle Pigment inks to blend my background and tie the whole theme together.

Your next stop is the fabulous JULIA ALTERMANN.  Make sure you join in again tomorrow with the rest of the Design Team  – happy hopping!

Howdy!  I am so in love with how the colours  turned out for this card!  The zingy yellows and oranges in the the Kuretake Gansai water colour paints and the Clean Colour markers are so vibrant they almost make my eyes water!!  I created my watercolour background panel using the Kuretake paints on Tim Holtz cardstock.  Whilst that was drying I used the Pretty Pink Posh duo die to cut a tag but I only wanted the centre part (so it would look a bit like a trellis) so I just trimmed it down.  I stamped the butterflies from the Lawn Fawn Flutter By set in Versamark and then heat embossed it in white and finally coloured them with my Zig Clean Colour markers (what a sheer JOY they are!!).  I then just assembled the card placing some silver thread behind the frame, a few sequins dotted around and stamped the sentiment in a bold black to complete the card!

Sparkle and Shine

Ah, I do love Anything Goes challenges!  I can really go to town with whatever supplies take my fancy at that moment in time, lol!  This week I have had my fancy tickled by some gorgeous new goodies I picked up on my last little shopping spree at Simon Says Stamp.  I LOVE the WPlus9 Unforgettable stamp set.  Argh, it’s just SO flippin cute I can’t bear it!  Another treasure I’ve been coveting for ages is the Stitched Banner Duo from Pretty Pink Posh.  Such a useful die to have on hand.  I used it to cut some paper from Lawn Fawn’s Let’s Polka pad and also from vellum (but just the fishtail end, not the whole die).  As I’m all about bling and this week we are all featuring Prima products, I’ve added some gorgeous little crystals for some essential sparkle.  To keep that mood going I cut the (swoon-worthy) Wishing die using some silver glitter paper and also added a glittery wee bow to the elephants tail – love how he looks like he’s just dangling there!  I stamped the little star cluster on my base card to give a dainty background pattern using Coral Reef ink from Simon Says Stamp and then finished off by stamping the “You a Happy Birthday” from the Sending and Wishing stamp set in Fog ink below the die cut.

prima anything goes

So now it’s YOUR turn.  Create something FABULOUS! It is, after all, ANYTHING GOES!
