Pizza Mountains!

 Hi! How are you today?
I thought we've all been good enough for some pizza.
It looks vaguely like pizza?
Maybe a tomato tart?!
Well- strictly speaking, these slices are in fact the snowcapped mountains on the 'Snow Caps' dies from Avery Elle

Hope you can see here where I was going with it?

 I even used the little trees as the basis for some extra cheese!

 It might have looked more realistic if the  cheese was over more of the pizza but hey, this pizza's a low-cal version ;-)

The sentiment is using another Avery Elle set 'Sending You'

I did try to add a little definition onto the pizza slices using some of the Ombre ink

 and also gently bent the edges of the slices down to give more 3D look to them. Hopefully you can see that in the first photos.

Well, if you want a proper look at the dies are actually supposed to do- here's Tara's take on them in this post

If you want a pizza the action (oops!), do grab yourself a set of the dies- they're wonderfully versatile and there are lots of dies in there ready for more 'alternative treatment'!

Enjoy your Tuesday,

Triangular Hugs!

 Hi! I thought I'd do another project using the Hero Arts Triangle background        

                                                        

                                                  

It's such a great set- I haven't even stamped it in colour yet. I simply embossed with white embossing powder onto white card.

I wanted to create something very clean and simple. I've been creating cards that take a little longer recently so it was great to do a project that took so little time.              

                                

I've layered up a few elements from the Sending You set by Avery Elle. 

                                                                

With a little fussy cutting, it adds layers without becoming too cluttered. With the cutout parts of the triangles and the cardstock underneath, there are actually 4 layers where the 'hugs' sentiment is but you wouldn't necessarily think it initially.
You can just about make out the ombre colours in the sentiment. I used one of the new Ombre pads from Hero Arts.

Check out the other ombre colours- they're really beautiful. You do need to move the pad around a little when stamping so you can't see the change between the colours and the ombre colours flow seamlessly.

I lastly added a strip of ombré paper.

Do go and see what's slipped into the store without you noticing! These big background sets are amazing!

See you next week!
