Find Vodka and party!!

Hello again – this is my second post today – scroll down for my Clearly Besotted sneak peek card!!

I’ve been playing with more gorgeous Avery Elle goodies – I love that sentiment from Berry Good – seems like a good philosophy in life!  I am also in love with the Dotted Borders dies – an essential in anyone’s craft supply arsenal!

 

Dotted borders

I started by stamping and white embossing the lemon from Berry Good and then used water colours to paint it.  Once it was dry I embossed the sentiment in gold.  On the white panel I blended some Squeezed Lemonade distress ink and then added a few splatters of gold Heidi Swapp spray.  I added a little bundle of gold thread under the lemon die cut and then added it to the front of the panel.  I cut a piece of Avery Elle Daisy cardstock and die cut the edge with the zig zag border die.  I wrapped some more of the gold thread around the yellow panel and popped it up on the white panel with foam adhesive.  I mounted the panel onto a Mint To Be card base and finished it off with a few gold sparkle Doodlebug sprinkles.

Don’t forget to check out the Avery Elle blog every day for lots of inspiration from the amazing design team.

Of course I HAD to work with some of my gorgeous Clearly Besotted products for this challenge – how could I not??  I used one of the new stamp sets from the January 2015 release – Baby Shower.  I stamped the elephant on linen cardstock with Raspberry pigment ink from Avery Elle.  I love the textured effect – it looks like the elephant is made of fabric!  I made this card for a friend who recently had his frst baby so to personalise it I used the new Elle’s Alphas stamps for the date and Lawn Fawn’s Milo’s ABC’s for the name.  I created the aperture using the Simon Says Stamp stiched circles.

Avery Elle – Just a Note

Greetings!  I’m over on the Avery Elle Blog today with a card featuring the fabulous Just a Note dies.  They can be used standalone as a cute little gift card holder or added to a card as a little pocket for a hidden note or gift.

I die cut the smallest tag from the Gift Tags die collection and stamped a secret “Bonjour” to tuck inside the flap of the Just a Note die.  You could hide all kinds of little messages in there – I love it!  The Avery Elle Design Team shares new ideas and inspiration on the Avery Elle blog every day so make sure you keep popping back for some amazing projects – those girls ROCK!!
