To make the card, I die cut a panel of Neenah Solar White card stock with the large stitched die from the Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments set. Next, I blended the die cut panel with two shades of Distress Oxide inks- Worn Lipstick and Dried Marigold. I spattered the panel with white ink and set it aside to dry. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1jVspNidotxh4a0rJLB-2Zfzw-H5bK_PURQ1lzC0JtB2bv4bv4IdTyGlDkhcquGx25VOxQVhxer3FJRATgFkQd2LQ_kd3XrLS48-tNhpvQ4zD2cX1Iq1cVkVf_i-jEDCMhfCVqOIkPPdm/s550/IMG_4093.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1jVspNidotxh4a0rJLB-2Zfzw-H5bK_PURQ1lzC0JtB2bv4bv4IdTyGlDkhcquGx25VOxQVhxer3FJRATgFkQd2LQ_kd3XrLS48-tNhpvQ4zD2cX1Iq1cVkVf_i-jEDCMhfCVqOIkPPdm/s16000/IMG_4093.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I stamped the crocodile with black ink, colored him with Copic Markers, and die cut the image using the coordinating Elle-ments die.

I am on the Avery Elle blog this week with a couple rainbow cards to share featuring the Happy Birthday Die and Look for Rainbows clear stamps. </p><p>First, I made a shaker card with the Happy Birthday die. I blended Distress Ink on a panel of Distress Heavystock and die cut the Happy Birthday greeting. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtSAzJMr67xXFyoJSLEIX3BimoAdHmZOm3X04qXA7IB961goDAAihzLI4DjyJGio1vLeHbX-iRfkHbwODxrUWXSsSxswfiJWhO3aH2RAKgYiyZaom1StuEuBzhmz0RFii0WrE3ZQfMGHzu/s550/IMG_3674.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtSAzJMr67xXFyoJSLEIX3BimoAdHmZOm3X04qXA7IB961goDAAihzLI4DjyJGio1vLeHbX-iRfkHbwODxrUWXSsSxswfiJWhO3aH2RAKgYiyZaom1StuEuBzhmz0RFii0WrE3ZQfMGHzu/s16000/IMG_3674.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Next I made a shaker element with the Oval Burst Elle-ment die using lots of sparkly clear sequins! I attached the shaker to a notecard covered with a piece of patterned paper.

Loads of Hello is such a great set and the main sentiments are a substantial size and easily command attention on a card. </p><p>One of my favorite techniques for sets with big and bold sentiments is to substitute an image for a letter. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3thxseV2cEw7SkR2hVwL8JO6qErrgFHar2aGndZTdiKlXitmfXvZq_4ILSQkqH7YisfdcIVxQs9QA3rIiFHzxWoOoM4cOe34ADEVGJ6jd4bKwMPm2ssFSaJ4r2I1xdEPJNmpSti0ZGidz/s550/IMG_3627.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3thxseV2cEw7SkR2hVwL8JO6qErrgFHar2aGndZTdiKlXitmfXvZq_4ILSQkqH7YisfdcIVxQs9QA3rIiFHzxWoOoM4cOe34ADEVGJ6jd4bKwMPm2ssFSaJ4r2I1xdEPJNmpSti0ZGidz/s16000/IMG_3627.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">For this technique, I selected the "hello" sentiment.

I have two cards to share with you today featuring the beautiful Sending Flowers stamp set. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">For my first card, I stamped a background using all of the floral images. I stamped the flowers in Versamark ink before heat embossing the images with Rose Gold embossing powder. I colored in the flowers with Copic markers. I die cut the stamped panel with the Wonky Stitches die and adhered it to a silver note card. I stamped the sentiment, also embossed in Rose Gold, onto a strip of white card stock. I attached the sentiment to the note card with foam tape and a few clear sequins add a finishing touch. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBwtNFPuDFJGDyxV0M4JvFK2fAmalRKooX4dbB8apKHJVkchC8iEkCS9fMhm4HNC45S-xun25L6eCzfp09DQcTTZbH5UiIbE4UWy7DglkiyRk68gK8WrCU-O8uhwQrMcXeGDlu5vpqeQQ/s550/IMG_3080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBwtNFPuDFJGDyxV0M4JvFK2fAmalRKooX4dbB8apKHJVkchC8iEkCS9fMhm4HNC45S-xun25L6eCzfp09DQcTTZbH5UiIbE4UWy7DglkiyRk68gK8WrCU-O8uhwQrMcXeGDlu5vpqeQQ/s16000/IMG_3080.jpg" /></span></a></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">For my next card, I stamped, embossed, colored and die cut all the flower images and arranged them around the Quilted Frame Elle-ments die.

A few sequins and a strip of patterned paper add a festive finishing touch. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjToq95lPA5gWMbrzXh6l0GFW2bRkrFkTOCjjAc4uf-PyIdGlNhojY9vf7UdL1NnIABSX1WvgImdzccH5Hy6ZgrvkPvGcmVFSi83_vOPNeTEfvy_ld7EiQClJ9KmzTKHnyQC3SwtUYanFc/s550/IMG_2597.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjToq95lPA5gWMbrzXh6l0GFW2bRkrFkTOCjjAc4uf-PyIdGlNhojY9vf7UdL1NnIABSX1WvgImdzccH5Hy6ZgrvkPvGcmVFSi83_vOPNeTEfvy_ld7EiQClJ9KmzTKHnyQC3SwtUYanFc/s16000/IMG_2597.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I also used the Santa Tag, coordinating Holiday Circle Tags Elle-ments dies and the Peek-a-Boo tag to decorate a small gift bag. I covered the gift bag with papers from Avery Elle's Holiday Collection paper pack. I stamped and colored the Santa Tag, die cut the tag and added the outer scalloped circle. It's the perfect size to create a focal point on a small canvas. I added a tag created with the Peek-a-Boo Tag Elle-ments. I tied the tag with twine and used a tiny clothes pin to attach the tag to the bag. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq-r-K2LDZLNtPk-RtJ5Pf5dmG8y5Bn2BBHp_waC5MRgFjsgFfRrZEFrT1Gg7igB5eti9NPl-fbak9W9izZncHVDIVN6euZZcMC7LYv7oySMmlZgEC8Pe6ZPEuHWx-nfiqqbtZjsCxNo4/s550/IMG_2599.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq-r-K2LDZLNtPk-RtJ5Pf5dmG8y5Bn2BBHp_waC5MRgFjsgFfRrZEFrT1Gg7igB5eti9NPl-fbak9W9izZncHVDIVN6euZZcMC7LYv7oySMmlZgEC8Pe6ZPEuHWx-nfiqqbtZjsCxNo4/s16000/IMG_2599.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Avery Elle Design Team will be showcasing projects using the new release today in a fun blog hop!

<br />
Puppies are the best. They're so fuzzy and sweet. All of that darling puppy goodness is captured perfectly in Avery Elle's new Dog-Gone clear stamp set.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, colored images can look a bit flat, but there's a very simple technique that you can use to add a little texture and dimension to stamped images colored with Copic markers.<br />
<br />
First, stamp and color your images as usual. If there are any parts of the image that you don't want to texturize, leave that area uncolored. (See the dog collar and tag in the bottom left image below. )<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Next, grab a terry cloth towel and Copic Colorless Blending Solution and add a few drops a small area of the towel. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8bHsYqjPSmVxCRMDheErQ9o4ph9n_NWMnAXRWLw_HNI5Wkq6UIPNDSFmjycrPNrc7KQNfsLqcSM5tbGvF-aGohdg22URO0OJIigDQA9EGKzTdg4Oup0tesRrW4gyka4VOIshe1ASlmSwY/s1600/IMG_2333.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="650" data-original-width="650" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8bHsYqjPSmVxCRMDheErQ9o4ph9n_NWMnAXRWLw_HNI5Wkq6UIPNDSFmjycrPNrc7KQNfsLqcSM5tbGvF-aGohdg22URO0OJIigDQA9EGKzTdg4Oup0tesRrW4gyka4VOIshe1ASlmSwY/s400/IMG_2333.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Press the towel on the colored images and the blending solution will lift the ink leaving behind the texture of the towel.</div>

<br />
Super fun and simple too! Now here are all these fuzzy cuties on a card.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I used a cloud stencil and the Dotted Borders Elle-ments die to create a little background for the puppy party. I added some of the accessories and smaller images from the stamp set to round out the scene. </div>
