Avery Elle: Sending You

Hi – here with a quick post to share a card made using the gorgeous sentiment set Sending You along with probably one of my favourite Avery Elle sets EVER,  Surf’ Up.  I thought the “Good Vibes” sentiment was perfect to go with the campervan and that whole hippy/festival vibe!  Being a family of festival lovers I know I’d appreciate this card!!

I’m getting VERY excited about the new release that’s coming next month from Avery Elle!  There’s LOTS of exciting things afoot and I think you’re going to be totally blown away when you see some of the amazing new stamp designs and dies.

Thanks for stopping by,

As I was sitting at my craft desk I spotted a little die cut camera I had assembled some time ago using the MFT Cute Cameras 2 die-namics.  Remembering there was a fun challenge going on over at Moxie Fab World called Clicking Cameras I thought I’d put the wee guy to use and here’s what I came up with:

See that gorgeous patterned paper that looks like a bokeh effect (well, that’s what it reminds me of anyway) – keep a close eye over at Avery Elle over the next couple of weeks to see where it came from – can’t say any more right now other than “WOW” (shhhh)!

Thanks for dropping by x

Avery Elle – Surf’s Up.

Hello there!  Today I’m sharing a card using my favourite set from the Summer release from Avery Elle – Surf’s Up!  I have a passion for VW Campervans and vintage caravans – I love them!  I have WAY too many children to make owning one at all practical but I envisage me and hubby in our sunset years – pitching up on the beach in our aqua-coloured van watching the world go by!!  So here is my vision – on a card!!  I’m asleep on a sun-lounger just behind that sand dune, lol!!

I used the Tim Holtz spritzer to create the sand effect and distress inks for the sky.  The palm tree was masked and stamped several times to create the background and then the campervan was coloured with Copics, cut out and popped on some foam adhesive.

Well thanks for dropping by – I really appreciate all your lovely comments so thanks for taking the time to visit.
