Avery Elle New Release Blog Hop - Pool Party


Well hello there!  Thank you for hopping along today with the Avery Elle new release blog hop designers.  I'd like to introduce you to the brand new stamp and coordinating die set called 'Pool Party'.  Before I continue, I want to be sure you continue scrolling past where I sign off - this will take you to the other designers participating in this blog hop and to the giveaway rules.  Enjoy!



To know me is to know I love to make slimline cards and this is one of them.  This card has a finished size of 8 1/2 inches x 3 1/2 inches.  I created my 110lb white cardstock base and set it to one side and I also cut a full size panel to fit which I used Washi Tape to mask off the edges and then I ink blended using Distress Oxides in Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Crushed Olive and Mowed Lawn.  I also splattered on some water and blotted it up a few seconds later.  I used a Distress Ink pen to quickly add some texture to the lawn.  The mask was carefully removed.



On Strathmore Bristol Smooth and using Ranger Archival Ink in Potting Soil, I stamped all of my cute images from Pool Party.

I watercolour painted everything using the following list of Kuretake Zig colours - Gray, Beige, Dark Brown, Haze Blue, Cool Gray (1), Flesh Colour, Yellow, Pale Pink, Light Blue, Vanilla and Light Pink.  All elements were then die cut using the coordinating dies, backed with dimensional foam tape and applied to the background panel.  Points were highlighted with a Uniball Signo White gel pen.



I popped the panel into my Misti and stamped the sentiments 2 or 3 times so that they were nice and bold against the colourful background, I attached the panel to the card base and the final touch was the addition of several Sparkling Clear Sequins by Pretty Pink Posh as embellishing accents.

This stamp set is perfect for all your sizzling summer cards!

    1. The DTs take a lot of time to create amazing cards with new release sets. The least you could do it actually look at the card and make a unique comment instead of COPYING and PASTING the same thing on every blog to win.
