Happy LEAP DAY everyone!  Today I am sharing a card featuring one of the runaway success stories of the newest release from Avery Elle (to be fair, the whole release has been a runaway success – wow!).  The Sentimental stamps and dies are probably one the most useful and unique sets on the market right now.  It’s been suggested that I may need some sort of intervention over my heavy use of the Wonky Stitches die set (my most precious!!) but as I look at this Sentimental set – it may well be joining it!!  I have paired the HUGS die (arguably my favourite from the set) with the STUUUUNNNING Canopy stamp set.  I LOVE this stamp.  It’s so pretty.  I heat embossed the stamp in white and then used some Zig Clean Colour Markers to water colour inside.  I love the bright, vibrant colour you get from the Zig markers – they are fantastic.

I used Aquamarine cardstock (from a trimmed down notecard)  and die cut the hugs sentiment and a strip for layering behind my front panel.  To add a delicate detail to the front of the panel I used the scalloped edge from the Dotted Border Dies – another essential in your die collection!!

Please check out the Avery Elle Blog everyday for lots of inspiration from the fantastic Design Team.
