Laugh Out Loud

Teaser Time

It’s day 2 of the Clearly Besotted teasers for February 2015 and today I’m sharing a card featuring a FABULOUS set called Laugh Out Loud.  Sometimes you want something on your card a bit different to the usual “Happy Birthday” sentiment.  Well this set has what you need – some funny quotes to give your recipient a wee giggle!  I particularly like “Smile, while you still have teeth”  – LOL!!

I created a bunch of balloons using some simple masking and then coloured them with Copics and finally a coating of clear Wink of Stells (which for once you can actually see in the photo!!).

Make sure you pop over to Steph’s blog and the rest of the design team for more inspiration.

Find Vodka and party!!

Hello again – this is my second post today – scroll down for my Clearly Besotted sneak peek card!!

I’ve been playing with more gorgeous Avery Elle goodies – I love that sentiment from Berry Good – seems like a good philosophy in life!  I am also in love with the Dotted Borders dies – an essential in anyone’s craft supply arsenal!

 

Dotted borders

I started by stamping and white embossing the lemon from Berry Good and then used water colours to paint it.  Once it was dry I embossed the sentiment in gold.  On the white panel I blended some Squeezed Lemonade distress ink and then added a few splatters of gold Heidi Swapp spray.  I added a little bundle of gold thread under the lemon die cut and then added it to the front of the panel.  I cut a piece of Avery Elle Daisy cardstock and die cut the edge with the zig zag border die.  I wrapped some more of the gold thread around the yellow panel and popped it up on the white panel with foam adhesive.  I mounted the panel onto a Mint To Be card base and finished it off with a few gold sparkle Doodlebug sprinkles.

Don’t forget to check out the Avery Elle blog every day for lots of inspiration from the amazing design team.

To A Special Friend – Clearly Besotted February 2015

Teaser Time

 

Hey!  It’s a new month and that means the start of the peeks at the new release coming from Clearly Besotted in February.  As always, Stephanie and Jenny have outdone themselves and have created the most gorgeous stamp and die sets ever!  One of my favourites is the Friends Forever set.  I used the beautiful tulip image and coloured it with watercolours.  This was made for my friend Kate who just celebrated her 40th birthday – woo hoo!  I didn’t have quite the right colour of twine that I wanted for my card so I dyed some natural cord from Hemptique with a matching Copic marker (can’t remember exactly which one – sorry!!).

As well as my fabulous teamies, Amy Gray (was Wanford!!), Debby Hughes and Michelle Short  (Mandy is off gallivanting around NZ – lucky thing) We have some amazing guest designers joining us again this month – I adore them all – Lucy Abrams, Jo Neville and Jen Nelson.  Pop by their blogs for tons of fabulous inspiration xxx
