Birthday Wishes – Mondo Peony in Avery Elle liquid watercolour

Hey there. Just popping to share a card I made using the gorgeous Mondo Peony stamp set from Ellen Hutson. I just LOVE this stamp – it’s a dream to water colour. I used Avery Elle Liquid Watercolours in Fizz and Cherry which gave me a gorgeous blend of pinks and oranges – I LOVE them.

I stamped the flower onto watercolour paper using versamark ink then heat embossed it in Avery Elle Rich Gold fine embossing powder. Once I coloured the flower and let it dry I finished off with a die cut sentiment from the Avery Elle A Tag For All Die set. I added a few Doodlebug Gold Sparkle Sprinkles to add some bling!

Supplies:

Mondo Peony Stamp Set Ellen Hutson

Avery Elle Gold Embossing Powder

Avery Elle Liquid Water colors Cherry and Fizz

Versamark Ink

Avery Elle A Tag For All Dies

Doodlebug Sprinkles

Avery Elle … Critter Crew

Hey, I’m over on the Avery Elle Blog today with a colourful card featuring the fun Critter Crew stamp set and co ordinating dies. I just love these wee guys Heather has created and love to see where they’re going to pop up next. For my card I created a background using Distress Oxide inks splattered with gold spray and adhered a Polka Plate die cut over the top to break up the background a little.

Next I stamped the Critter Crew twice and fussy cut around the front “layer” so I could have them popped up to give a bit more dimension to the scene. I coloured them all with Copics and for some bling I added Avery Elle glitter to their hats!

For some added sparkle I die cut the Star Frame using gold glitter adhesive paper and placed it onto the card before popping the Critters on top. To finish I stamped the sentiment in (from Toucan Party) in gold embossing powder and added it to the front of the card.

Supplies used (from Avery Elle):

Critter Crew Clear Stamps

Critter Crew Elle-ments

Polka Plate Elle-ments

Star Frame Elle-ments

Toucan Party Clear Stamps

New Moon Dye Ink

Coarse Glitter

Supplies used: (from Ellen Hutson)

Ellen Hutson Pinsights Challenge – Pantone Attitude Colour Palette

I recently made my first purchase from Ellen Hutson.com and boy are their products amazing! I picked up a few sets and most of the Catherine Pooler Inks – can’t wait to get stuck into them! I got to playing and noticed the current Pinsights Challenge – how could you not be inspired by that colour palette?

Anyhoo, here’s what I made. The first card was created by blending Distress Oxide Inks on Tim Holtz watercolour paper then spritzing with water and some Heidi Swapp Gold Lame colour shine. I then overlaid the panel with the MFT Sun Ray stencil and applied white gesso over it. While that was drying I stamped the image from Mermaid Tail in vermark onto vellum and heat embossed it with Gold Tinsel embossing powder from Ranger. I chose the sentiment from Avery Elle’s Mermaid stamp set anf heat embossed it in gold Avery Elle embossing powder. I assembled everything onto the card adding some gold thread and a few rainbow sequins here and there. Sweet huh?

Supplies:

Mermaid Tale – Essentials By Ellen

Mermaid Tail Dies

Mermaids – Avery Elle

Sun Ray Stencil – MFT

Gesso

Distress Oxide Inks

Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder – Ranger

Gold Lame Colour Shine Spray – Heidi Swapp

My second card uses the stunning Mondo Peony stamp set from the Essentials By Ellen line. I stamped the large image in gold embossing powder the used Zig Clean Colour Brush Markers to add loose areas of colour randomly across the image. I then sprayed it quite heavily waith water and blended it until I was happy. It did go in the bin at one point because it looked a hot mess! I grabbed it out again though and played with it some more and actually was quite happy in the end!! I added a good spray of shimmer mist to it before fussy cutting it out and putting it on a 4 bar sized card. To finish I added a strip of gold and die cut the happy from Avery Elle’s Sentimental Too dies and the birthday from the co-ordinating stamp set.
