Avery Elle – Floral Frame

Hey  – today I have a couple of cards made using the STUNNING Floral Frames stamp set and dies from the latest Spring 2016 release from Avery Elle.  I have tried numerous times in the past to master the “no-line” colouring technique but failed miserably.  It always turned out as a HOT MESS, lol!  Rather than let it beat me I decided this stamp would be a great one to try again as it has lovely clean lines and open flowers.

For the first card I stamped the image in Memento Angel Pink ink and coloured it with Copic markers.  I die cut the sentiment from the A Tag For all die set in white and then coloured it in a ombre effect again with Copics.  I also used my favourite die – Wonky Stitches to create a bit more depth and dimension for the frame.

The second card also uses the no-line technique, this time stamped in Memento Desert Sand.  I think I’ve gone from hating this technique to LOVING it!

Avery Elle – Canopy

Today I’ve been playing with the gorgeous Canopy stamp set from Avery Elle – I have had so much fun with this stamp – it’s such a dream to colour.  This time I thought I’d place it with the vines growing up rather than hanging down – it just goes to show what a versatile set this is.  I used Zig Clean Colour markers again (becoming addicted to these) and embossed the image in white.  The sentiment is from the Best Ever stamp set – isn’t it so USEFUL??!

Hope you remember to pop by to the Avery Elle Blog where there’s more inspiration from the design team every day.
