A new challenge blog for Avery Elle!

26.02.2014 by 7 Comments

Avery Elle have just launched a new challenge blog called AEIHEARTU (yay!) so I thought I’d join in with the first challenge which is BIRTHDAYS!  One of my favourite all-time stamp sets EVER is Avery Elle’s Bonjour – who doesn’t love a French macaron??

sweet birthdayThe splattery background is done with my new Heidi Swapp mist – thanks Debby Hughes for the enablement there, lol!!!  You can’t see how luscious it is but the sentiment and border are stamped in gold Delicata ink – swoon!!

Thanks for dropping by xxx

Geometric Rose

22.02.2014 by 14 Comments

Did you know that Steph has just added some amazing new stand-alone dies to the Clearly Besotted store??  Well, now you do!!  She has described them as her “staples” – her “go-to” shapes and so thought it fitting to have them available in her store.  And boy am I glad she did!  They are so fun – I had a play with one of them last night – the Large Geometric Rose.  I thought I’d play with a few colours and came up with this bold flower design – isn’t it cool?

The sentiment is from A Little Sentimental – if you don’t have this set then you NEED to get it NOW!!  I curved the stamp on my block and stamped it 4 times to go around the flower.  This week’s Card Concept challenge is to “Use a Floral theme” so I am sharing this with the girls over there.  I don’t classify my style as “clean and graphic”very often but I’m pretty sure this is where this card would fit!!!

Edited to add – check out fellow DT Michelle’s blog – she’s been playing with this die too!!!

Good morningl.  I’m back with my third card as guest designer over at Case Study hosted by the amazing Iwona.  I’m sure it hasn’t escaped your attention but the muse providing all the inspiration this month is the gorgeous and uber-talented Danielle Flanders – LOVE!  I think of the 4 cards being featured this month, THIS week’s is my favourite – it’s so soft and pretty!  The pastel colours reminded me of babies so that’s where I went and used the wonderful new Clearly Besotted set – Special Delivery.
