Simon Says Stamp MAY 2016 Card Kit

May-2016-Card-Kit-600

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!

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.

Make it girly

So now it’s YOUR turn, Happy Crafting

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.

stoked

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.
