Sharing an inky, splattery explosion for this week’s challenge!  Not really my usual go to technique but I think I could get to quite enjoy it!  I created a panel using (yes, you know it – Wonky Stitches from Avery Elle), and inked in up using Spiced Marmalade Distress ink.  I then got the Lindy’s Gang solutions Pineapple Paradise and High Maintenance Magenta and added tonnes of splatters.  When that was all dry I used the MISTI to stamp over it using the Butterflies set and Big Greetings (Avery Elle) multiple times for a good dark impression.  I then used the same colours as a paint for the butterfly!.

Avery Elle … Be a Unicorn

I have a card using one of my favourite sets from the CHA 2016 release from Avery Elle up today – Be A Unicorn.  This set was designed by my fellow teamie, Heather and I just love it.  I paired it with a few other Avery Elle essentials to create this card from my niece’s first birthday.  I love the Avery’s Alphas dies for personalising a special birthday card.

I used the fabulous Starlight stencil from The Stencil Girl to add a subtle texture to my base card before layering on some gorgeous blooms from Altenew’s Layered Lily set.  I adore the images in this stamp set and the love how they look against the pretty background (created with Avery Elle Lemon Grass ink – my current favourite colour to use).  I made good use of my MISTI for this card too – it really helps me when creating layered images and placing sentiments too – can’t live without it!!
