Good morning – it’s Monday again and to kick start the week what better than a nice hot brew? I’ve whipped up this little card using the fabulous Tea Time stamp set from Avery Elle along with some of their yummiest cardstock colours.
Hello and HAPPY MONDAY! It’s Avery Elle day every Monday on my blog and today I’m sharing a cute little project I made over the weekend. My 4 girls are always reading AND they are all big animal lovers (if I had a penny for every time I’d heard “can we get a dog?” I’d be living it up in the Caribbean right now!!). We are definitely a cat family though so I thought I’d combine some amazing new Avery Elle products and create a little bookmark for each of them. (I didn’t make one for my 15 year old son – he’s far too cool for that)! I definitely need more practice colouring animals – please don’t look too closely, lol! Aren’t they adorable stamps though – the critters from Furry Friends sit perfectly on top of the books from the This Book stamp set – my personal favourite is the ginger one curled up asleep on top of the books – that’s so what a cat would do!
I stamped each of the animals onto masking paper and cut them out (only the bottom half needs to be cut if you’re in a hurry) and then I stamped each one on to a bookmark die cut from white card stock. I then placed the mask over the animals and stamped the pile of books below them so each one looks perfectly perched on top of the stack of books! I just coloured them in with Copic markers (not brilliantly though, I need to go back and revisit the Copic colouring class from Online Card Classes I think – where is Kathy Racoosin when I need her, lol??)
Thanks for stopping by today – happy crafting xxx
Hello – I’m back with my second post of the day (please scroll down for my Clearly Besotted March release post) sharing an oldie but goodie stamp set from Avery Elle called Thanks a Bunch. I LOVE this stamp set, the design is genius and every card I’ve ever seen made with it is just beautiful. I’ve used some of my favourite Avery Elle pigment ink colours and one of the new notecards in Aquamarine (love these).
I hope you can pop over to the blog to see what the other girls have come up with – you’re in for a treat, their cards are amazing!
