Avery Elle – Custom Panels, Storybook and Woodgrain and More (Oh My!)

Hi there!  Today I’m over on the Avery Elle blog sharing a card I made using the AMAZING new die collection designed by JJ Bolton, Custom Panels.

Don’t you love it??  So many different elements and so cleverly designed!  I used the label and the angled corner dies on my card – I think that’s my favourite die actually!!

Mae A Wish (custom panels)The background is stamped using another of the new release sets – Woodgrain and More and I’m sure you’re starting to recognise that sweet little mouse (those critters are going to be ALL over blogland over the next few weeks) from Heather Campbell’s beautiful set, Storybook (LOVE).

Thanks for stopping by today.

Clearly Besotted April Challenge

Well Spring has well and truly sprung here in my little corner of the world and everywhere I turn I’m seeing beautiful blossoms, tulips and daffs!!!  It’s all very uplifting and makes me feel HAPPPEEEEEE!!!  So what better theme for the April Challenge at Clearly Besotted than SPRING!! The latest release from Clearly Besotted is chock full of fabulous Spring-like stamps and dies but even if you haven’t managed to pick anything new up this month, Steph has TONS of sets in her inventory that would be perfect for this challenge.

April Challenge - Spring

So how’s this for some Springtime inspiration?  I used the new Pretty Petals Plus stamp set – SUCH a versatile little set – and stamped it using Avery Elle pigment inks in Mimosa and Fizz.  I added a wee bit of extra detail with a Copic to the flower centres too.  The Fabulous Friend sentiment is from one of my favourite CBS sets, Say It In Style.

Make sure you check out Steph’s blog, Stamping and Sharing for all the deets of the challenge (theres a great prize up for grabs as always!) and for lots more inspiration from the amazing DT.

Thanks for stopping by. xxx
