For my card today I used the gorgeous Hero Arts Glorious Petal stencil and combined it with Distress Oxide Inks and clear embossing over the top.  I started by brushing Cracked Pistachio over the centre area and brought in some Worn Lipstick just around the outside edge.  With the stencil still in place I pressed some Versamark ink over the top.  I removed the stencil and sprinkled the card with Wow Clear Gloss embossing powder and heated it.  For the panel across the top I die cut a strip of white card with the largest of the scallop edge dies from Simon Says Stamp.  I then used Cracked Pistachio and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink again  to stamp the Happy and Everything from Sentimental Too from Avery Elle.  To finish I added a few drops of Nuvo Jewel Drops.

Avery Elle … Sentimental Too

One of my favourite stamp and die sets from Avery Elle Stamps last year was the Sentimental collection.  What a fantastic concept – I have used both the stamps and dies many times on my cards.  Well this year we have Sentimental Too!  An additional collection of amazing sentiments in the same gorgeous style as the first batch.  I’ve paired it here with a set I designed for the latest release, Floral Bouquet and I think it is a match made in heaven!

I had fun creating a background using Distress Oxide inks this week.  I love the way they just melt into each other – and these three colours just go so well together.  I kept the rest of the card clean and simple to create a card perfect for a Dad’s birthday or even Father’s Day!!  By the way, our sister Challenge (the Monday Team) have a masculine themed challenge this week so make sure you link up your creation to both challenges for two chances to win!!
