Avery Elle … Stoked

Hello and HAPPY MONDAY!  Hope it’s nicer where you are than here in the north of England!!  Today I’m sharing the card I made for my little nephew Alex not so long ago.  I used the fantastic “Stoked” stamp set from Avery Elle and gave him a shock of blond hair – just like the real thing!  I am getting down to last few bits and pieces of my Everyday paper pad (don’t worry – I have brand new one waiting to be devoured) so thought I’d put the scraps to good use and add some funky patterns to the background.

To personalise it for him I used the ever-so-useful Elle’s Alphas to put his name onto the front of the drum kit!

Thanks for stopping by.

As soon as I saw this Hero Arts stamp set in action I knew it needed to go right into my basket!  I tried lots of different colour combos but the one I favoured was this one using a mixture of Hero Arts, Simon Says Stamp and Ranger dye inks (listed below).  The top layer was also restamped using Versamark and clear embossed to add even more dimension.  I love the final look of these gorgeous orchid images.  To colour match the sentiment I used the Wild Orchid dye ink from Ranger and coloured a piece of card before die cutting with the “birthday” from A Tag For All from Avery Elle.

Make it girly HA

Avery Elle … Woodland Wonders

I’ve created a cute little forest scene with my card for today.  I used the Woodland Wonders set from Avery Elle – it’s got so many adorable little elements to it.  I coloured it with Copics and curved the sentiment to sit on the grassy hill (die cut with the Pierced Borders set using paper from the Sorbet paper collection).
