Wheelie Great - Avery Elle Stamps

Hello!  This is Nicky with you today and I'm featuring the stamp set Wheelie Great for my card today.



To create this card I first created the background by ink blending to create sky and grass.  I distressed it with water splashes which I blotted up and then added a few dots of white gel pen for further interest.  This background was applied to a 110lb white cardstock base.  I then took the Dotted Frame die and die cut a panel of white cardstock.  This die cut was backed with foam tape and applied to the background.



On Copic friendly cardstock the images from Wheelie Great were stamped using Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black.   They were coloured up with Copic Markers, die cut and applied backed with foam tape.

To finish the card, points were highlighted with a white gel pen and the sentiment was stamped onto a strip of white cardstock, backed with foam tape and applied to the frame.

I appreciate you stopping by the blog today to read about this card.  Happy crafting!

Peek-A-Boo Summer Pals

Hi!  I have a new card for Avery Elle today using the new Peek-A-Boo Summer Pals stamp set with coordinating dies together with the new Dotted Frame Die - ALL from the most recent release.



To make this card I first ink blended a panel of white cardstock with Distress Inks in Spun Sugar and Squeezed Lemonade.  To do this I used Clarity Stencil Brushes for a very soft and delicate finish.  I then spritzed this panel with Avery Elle's Clear Shimmer Spray and left it to dry for a few minutes before die cutting the A2 panel using the Dotted Frame die.

The outer and inner cuts were directly adhered to my card base and the actual dotted frame portion was backed with foam tape and then stuck down.



The next step was to stamp my images on Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock and using Ranger Archival Ink in Potting Soil.  The images were watercolour painted with the following Kuretake Zig colours - Haze Blue, Pale Pink, Pale Yellow, Light Pink and Gray.  The images were die cut, backed with dimensional foam tape and applied to the background.

I used two of the sentiments from the stamp set and stamped them each two or three times in my Misti using a toning pale blue ink.  They were die cut and applied also popped up on foam tape.



Finishing touches were to attach some sparkling clear sequins and add Nuvo Drops in Duck Egg Blue.

Wish you could see the gorgeous shimmer on this card from that spray - treat yourself, you'll love it!

See you next time!
