Avery Elle – Woodgrain and More

Aaargh – so behind on my posts thanks to the Easter break!  I’m not complaining mind – we had a fabulous family holiday and spent some amazing days in the company of some great friends – it was so nice!!  It’s back to the normal regime now though so got LOTS to catch up on and share with you on my blog.you colour my world small

This morning I’m sharing my card latest card for Avery Elle – this time I’ve been playing with Woodgrain and More and slipped in a sentiment from Red and Goldie (LOVE that handwritten font).  I’ve gone quite plain and simple with this and added a wee pop of colour in the form of two die-cut hearts from the Red and Goldie die collection.

Right – I have another few posts to put together so will hop to it.

Thanks for stopping by xxx.

Avery Elle – Brushed

Hey all and Happy Easter Monday!  I hope you’re enjoying a glorious bank holiday wherever you are.  All being well I should be relaxing with the family and enjoying something nice and chilled on a beach in Wales!  I’m scheduling this post so hope I’m not tempting fate!!

Today I’m over on the Avery Elle design blog sharing a few cards I’ve made with the fabulous new Brushed set.  Watercolour effects are everywhere at the moment and so this super-trendy set is perfect for getting the painted look without the mess!!

The cards also showcase just how gorgeous the new Avery Elle pigment inks are – the colours are just beautiful.

Hoppy Easter!!

So I FINALLY got a chance to play with the Mama Elephant Honey Bunny stamp set – and I’m in love!  They are so cute aren’t they?  I created some tags to go with the Easter gifts I made this year for all the children in the family – all 14 of them!!!  I bought some cone treat bags and filled them with orange Millions and some other sweeties and then tied them with scraps of green ribbon.  I also made a card with the bunnies and some dies from Taylored Expressions – the picket fence die, the grass border the cloud dies and flower box dies.  Don’t they all go together perfectly?

I don’t usually show so many photos of a project but got a bit carried away with this one!!  Also, there is a challenge going on over at the Mama Elephant blog at the moment with a cool graphic for inspiration:  I thought the pale blue, green and yellow shades reminded me of the colours in the picture.
