I’ve got squeal-worthy news!!!

I am so happy that this day has finally arrived. I have been keeping this to myself for a few weeks now and for me, that has been tough! But today I finally get to share my pant-wettingly exciting news that I am joining the Avery Elle Design Team!

AEDesignTeamBlinkie

To say I am honoured, humbled, privileged, grateful, and totally mind-blown would be understating it!! I am in love with Avery Elle‘s fabulous stamp and die designs and what can I say about the new pigment inks and cardstock – incredible. I can’t wait to share the projects I’ve been busy creating with the forthcoming release for April and May. Prepare to be swept away when you see the new stamp sets and dies coming next month! My first post over on the Avery Elle Design Blog is on Monday 31st March – hope you can swing by to say hi!!

Big hugs,

Caryn xxx

Still digging the gold!!!

I’m back sharing a card today using the stunning Elegant Butterflies set from this month’s release at Clearly Besotted (ssshhhh – this set is currently in stock – grab it before it flies away again!!). I love the butterflies and font combinations in this set, they’re so……elegant!!

I also had a go at the technique Julie Ebersole shared in the Online Card Class (Clean and Simple 3) showing a diffused panel of embossing. Whilst I’ve seen this many times before on cards I’ve never actually tried it. Steph is releasing some more stand alone dies ~~soon~~ now at Clearly Besotted and I used one of her new labels dies for the centre panel. The rest I debossed with a Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder (haven’t used one of those in YEARS!!!).

And here’s a close up of the butterfly – I coloured him in using a gold Wink Of Stella brush (swoon) and then smothered him in glossy accents – look at that shine!!

Well, I’ve been very busy behind the scenes here preparing for some exciting things ahead! More on that next week – pop back on Monday to hear my (earth-shatteringly exciting) news!!!

Oh, and the current theme over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is …GLITTER! I couldn’t NOT share this card and join in this week, could I?

Enjoy your weekends everyone!!

Clearly Besotted March Challenge – In Flight!

It’s the 10th of the month and we have a fabulous new challenge over at Clearly Besotted Stamps blog. The theme this time is In Flight so think of anything that flies or has wings! I’ve used one of the butterflies from the gorgeous new Elegant Butterflies set and paired it with some lush golden stripes (Delicata ink – my new obsession) from the Basic Stripes stamp set.

The rest of the DT have some fabulous samples to share too so make sure you pop over to Steph’s blog for all the details – there’s a £30 store voucher up for grabs for one lucky winner too!!
