Avery Elle, May Arts and UmWowStudio week!

This week the Avery Elle design team is playing with some ribbon from May Arts and fun products from UmWowStudio.

When I saw the little packet of wooden stars from UmWowStudio I thought of making a shaker card but when my first attempt failed disastrously, I changed tack a wee bit and decided to just fill the whole space with stars!  I embossed one of the larger stars in gold just to add a little bit of extra bling!  The wired “ribbon” from May Arts was glued in place with little dots of glossy accents.

To keep the “wood” theme going I stamped the woodgrain stamp from Woodgrain and More in Fog pigment ink and sponged a little extra around the edges.  I also die cut the Hello die from a sheet of 1mm double-sided foam adhesive and added a die-cut of the same in white on top. I love the way it gives dimension to the whole word as opposed to trying to place lots of tiny little squares of foam My fellow teamie, the gorgeous Yainea has another amazing creation on her blog today too so make sure you check it out.

Be sure to check out the Avery Elle Blog all this week for projects using May Arts ribbon and UmWowStudio products.

Monogrammed – Clearly Besotted May Release

I’m back again today with another little glimpse of what’s to come for the month of May at Clearly Besotted Stamps.  Have you been enjoying the sneaks so far?  Today I have a card featuring the new Monogrammed set of stamps and co-ordinating dies.  I’ve been at it again with the gold Delicata inkpad (can’t express how much I love this ink) and a gold Wink of Stella pen for some added bling!  I achieved the bands by masking off areas of the card but I wasn’t that happy with the bold look of it and went over it with a water brush to give a more water-coloured effect.

monogramme d and jOh, and if you’re wondering – D and J are my mum and dad!!

I’ll be back tomorrow with another card but in the meantime please go and check out Stephanie and the rest of the design team and our gorgeously talented guestie Mayuri for lots more CBS inspiration.
