Season’s Greetings from Avery Elle!

Hello – this is posting a couple of days late I’m afraid – don’t know where this week is going!!  I have been playing with the scrummy Avery Elle Fall release stamps and dies again – so many amazing sets available – I’m spoiled for choice!

This CAS card features a gorgeous new die that comes with the little holly and berries too – love it.  I used a similar technique to THIS card where I cut thin strips of Avery Elle cardstock and glued them down in rows before running it through my Big Shot with the die. It is a bit fiddly but I love the stripy effect you get.  I cut a panel of white for the card front and die cut the Season’s Greetings from it in the centre.  I then inlaid the stripy die cut onto the white panel and finished off with some sprigs of holly.

Thanks for visiting.

STAMPtember blog hop 1For my creation today I used the gorgeous new stamp set from the the STAMPtember release called You’re So Sweet and a FANTASTIC new background stamp called Leaf Background.  I love fruit images and particularly love pears – so that was the first image I was drawn to when I saw this set.  The panels on the top and bottom of the card have been stamped  in Versamark on Tim Holtz watercolour card and then heat embossed in white.  The pears were masked to form a row and also heat embossed.  I’ve used watercolour to add the colour details and highlighted the pears with a touch of gold sparkle using the gold Wink of Stella brush.  The sentiment is from the Thanks card die – I just trimmed off the card bit!!  This was heat embossed in Ranger Gold Tinsel embossing powder.

From here you need to hop on over to Cheiron’s blog to see her amazing creation!!
You have until Wed  8am Ohio time. 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in 🙂
