Avery Elle … Be a Unicorn

I have a card using one of my favourite sets from the CHA 2016 release from Avery Elle up today – Be A Unicorn.  This set was designed by my fellow teamie, Heather and I just love it.  I paired it with a few other Avery Elle essentials to create this card from my niece’s first birthday.  I love the Avery’s Alphas dies for personalising a special birthday card.

I used the fabulous Starlight stencil from The Stencil Girl to add a subtle texture to my base card before layering on some gorgeous blooms from Altenew’s Layered Lily set.  I adore the images in this stamp set and the love how they look against the pretty background (created with Avery Elle Lemon Grass ink – my current favourite colour to use).  I made good use of my MISTI for this card too – it really helps me when creating layered images and placing sentiments too – can’t live without it!!

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.
