Avery Elle … Banner and Wreath and Best Ever

Hey there! I have a couple of cards up on the Avery Elle Design Blog today. The first is a card I made for my Daddy’s birthday way back in March! I love the Best Ever stamp set – the size and mix of fonts is just awesome (and of course I couldn’t help pairing it with my favourite little shark pal!!).

best ever

Next up is a simple little card using the Banner and Wreath stamp set. I am in LOVE with the Lemon Grass pigment ink from Avery Elle – I have used it on so many cards recently. It is such a fabulous colour and seems to complement anything else you put it with!! The pigment inks are amazing at blending too – love them!! The sentiment is from the Sentimental die collection.

Simon Says Stamp MAY 2016 Card Kit

Popping with a quick card I made using the new May 2016 Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp. This kit just shouts SUMMER (which we need some sign of here in the UK). It’s got a fabulously fun stamp set full of cute little images and sentiments. The LAwn Fawn papers are so pretty and the colours are gorgeous. Hope to get more time to play with this awesome kit over the next week so I’ll post some more when I do!

Simon Says … Anything Goes

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Thank you for joining us for our Make It Girlie Challenge and we hope you will join in with our new theme!

We will be back soon with the names of the lucky winner of the $50 Voucher.

This week the challenge is

ANYTHING GOES

We are showcasing STAMPENDOUS PRODUCTS this week. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge, but if you have them we would love to see them used!

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

I decided to create a floral Mother’s Day card for the challenge this week. It was last month here in the UK but I know elsewhere in the world it is in May so I’m not entirely behind with this card!!! I used the pretty Fronds stamp set from Stampendous to create a simple bunch of flowers – they could have been picked fresh out of any English country garden!! I stamped them in a light ink then used Zig Clean Colour Markers to colour loosely over the image. To give it a more water coloured appearance I went over the ink with a water brush. I die cut the panel with the Scalloped Dotted Border die from Avery Elle and finished with some twine and a few sequins.
