Simple Sentiments with Party Fox - Avery Elle

Hi, thanks for coming by the blog.  Today I'm sharing a card that puts the new Simple Sentiments stamp set from Avery Elle, front and centre.  Simple Sentiments comes with coordinating Elle-ments which makes your sentiment strips incredibly simple to make!



To create my card I ink blended my background using Distress Inks and then splashing a watered down amount of the ink into each colour zone to distress it a little further.  I dotted in some silvery gold gel pen dots and then die cut the panel to give it the subtle stitched edge.



I adhered the panel to the card base.  I die cut a whole bunch of the Simple Sentiments Elle-ments and then chose a few of the stamp sentiments that would say what I wanted them to declare and then stamped them in Versamark Ink and heat embossed in Antique Gold embossing powder.  I masked a line down the left hand length of my card and aligned my sentiment strips along it and adhered them with foam tape before removing the mask.



On Bristol Smooth cardstock I stamped the foxes from Party Fox, I watercolour painted them using Kuretake Zigs then die cut them using the Party Fox Elle-ments.  These too were adhered with  foam tape and the final touch for the card was the addition of a generous amount of flat, gold, micro star embellishments for a celebratory twinkle!

Hope you enjoyed today's card, happy crafting everybody and see you next time!

Party Fox - Avery Elle Stamps

Hello and thanks for coming by to my blog today where I'm sharing a new card featuring Party Fox from the latest Avery Elle release.



For this card I ink blended a background panel using my Clarity Stencil Brushes.  Colours used are Distress Inks in Spun Sugar and Squeezed Lemonade.  I stamped the sentiment using Ranger Archival Ink in Potting Soil and then applied this panel to my 110lb white cardstock base.  Next I took another panel of white cardstock and die cut it twice using each of the dies from Postage Stamp.  I adhered the two together on the reverse then applied foam tape and applied the double frame to the card.



On Bristol Smooth cardstock I stamped all of my images again using Ranger Archival Ink in Potting Soil.  I watercolour painted everything using Kuretake Zigs, highlighted some points with a Uni-Ball Signo white gel pen then die cut everything and used foam tape to apply them to the scene.



The final touch was to simply grab a silver glitter gel pen and dot in the tiniest dots of sparkle for a pretty glint when the card is handled.

Hope you like the card, I appreciate you coming along to read the blog today, see you next time!
