Clearly Besotted: Keep In Touch

Hey there – I’m back with a look at another of the gorgeous new sets coming from Clearly Besotted this month.  This one is called Keep In Touch and has some fabulous, modern images including this gorgeous typrewriter.  I added some colour with some Copics and them covered it in glossy accents to give it the look of an old, cream, enamel effect.

I am slightly obsessed with the the new Avery Elle paper pads (the diagonal striped patterns in particular) and also with making these little 4-0bar cards – they are definitely my favourite size at the moment!

Right – we’re off for a wee Easter Saturday day out with the kids today and I’m still sitting in my pj’s!   Make sure you pop over to Steph’s blog and the amazing design team for lots more inspiration.

Clearly Besotted : Best Dad

I’m back with another little glimpse at one of the new sets being released this month at Clearly Besotted.  This is a cute little set called Best Dad – and is perfect for little boy’s birthdays, Father’s Day etc.

I started with a 4-bar sized card base and cut a piece of striped paper from the Avery Elle neutrals paper pad and used a circle die to create and aperture.  I stamped, cut and coloured the little sailboat from the set and also used the wave border die to make a little scene!  The sentiment is stamped in Aquamarine ink from Avery Elle I finished with a little bit of twine to keep in with the nautical feel!

#TBT Avery Elle: Write It

On the first Thursday of the month (hey, that’s today!) the Avery Elle DT are featuring one of the older classics from the Avery Elle inventory.  This month we have been playing with Write It – an amazing sentiment set with one of the coolest fonts ever! I used a rainbow of different Distress ink colours and masked off the top and bottom of my card.  I used a “direct to paper” technique and then added a strip of gold glitter paper to the top and bottom to finish it off.  The sentiment is stamped in Versafine Onyx Black.
