Thanks a melon Tara

Hello. 

Today we have something a little different for you. 

The design team have all got together to organise a surprise blog hop for Tara and Rick.

We all wanted to say "Ta Tara" for all the work you do  and for the fantastic service you provide.

And to Rick for supporting Tara and the shop.

As I'm a bit useless at all of this i will let the rest of the team and their wonderful cards do the talking.

You will find the full hop list below and we hope you will join us In saying Thankyou.

I started by die cutting my two panels.

The scalloped one i coloured using distress inks to match the colours of the melons and then heat embossed in white the pattern from Sharp backdrops stamp set.

The stitched rectangle panel was cut from water colour card and the melons randomly stamped and heat embossed in white before colouring with water colour pens.

The full hop list in order is .....

Happy mothers day

Hello.

Its Mothers day on Sunday (in the UK) so i have made my mums card using Winnie and Walters the party stamp set and  Avery Elle happy die and build a banner stamps and dies.

On some water colour card i stamped the images from Winnie and Walter in versa mark.

So that i didn't over lap to much i had to keep tilting the card so i could see where i had already stamped. 

I then heat embossed in gold powder and coloured using watercolour paints.

While that was drying i die cut the happy word die from black card and covered in some glitter.

Next i stamped and die cut the banner saying mothers day. 

The dies are really easy to line up as they are just outlines.

I finished with some clear sequins.

Hello.

I'm here today with a card using Avery Elle stamps.

Sets i used are All occasions tags and framed fonts.

I kept the design simple and used masking to get parts of the sentiment different colours.

If you head on over to the shop the Avery Elle pre order is up and running :)

Thanks for looking.

Lots of cards

Hello.

Having been ill all week so far Ive not had time to make something new but thought i would share some cards i made last week.

Its an Avery Elle card fest lol.

I used the Blooming banner set and stamped onto some paper paper.

After a couple of layers i added it tot he card base and finished with lace and ribbon.

And sneaked in a little bit of liquid pearls.

I used one of my favourite colour combos for this card.

The stamp set used is To the point..

I just cant resist a cute banner and kept it simple only adding some twine.

This card was for a colour challenge and it was a challenge as i wouldn't have used these colours together.

I used All occasion tags.

Its a great set for adding a cute bit of colour and pattern.

The sentiment is from Lots of love.

Two sets used in for this card are To the point and Blossoms and blooms..

All sets are a dream to stamp with.

Thanks for looking.
