June-2015-Card-Kit-600

 

My goodness, where are these weeks going??!  I’ve had this amazing kit sitting on my desk for days but have only just managed to have a play with it!  I LOVE it so much – it’s one of my favourites so far (although I think I say that every month, lol).  I die cut one of the new MFT circle dies and whilst the die was still in place used a series of masking steps to get the stripes.  I used the Ranger dye inks (which I LOVE) and they blended beautifully!

Well thanks for popping by – hope I get to play a wee bit more with this kit this week so watch this space!!

Avery Elle: Tweet Tweet

08.06.2015 by 5 Comments

Happy Monday to you all!  I’m  over on the Avery Elle blog today sharing a fab stamp set from the BRAND NEW summer release!  This set is called Tweet Tweet and the colouring possibilities are endless – I mean there’s a tropical bird SOMEWHERE in the the world with a blue body and a yellow tail, right?  I’m also featuring one of the FANTASTIC new die sets which make perfect double pierced circles – love them.  I took a piece of white cardstock and scribbled over an area with a few different Copics being sure to blend the colours giving a nice ombre effect.  Then I just used the dies (still attached to each other) to cut them out.  I think it sort of looks like a sunset behind the tree.

Thank you for dropping in – have a great Monday!
