CardMaker and Avery Elle Blog Hop!

Good morning!

Today is a fun day because the Avery Elle design team is teaming up with our friends over at CardMaker Magazine for a fun blog hop.   Be sure to stop by our company and designer blogs to be inspired and enter for a chance to win a prize.  One lucky commenter will be drawn at random and will win a $30 Avery Elle Gift Certificate.  You have all week to enter to win.  The winner of the Avery Elle Gift Certificate will be announced on the Avery Elle blog on Monday, June 29th. 

My card today uses the new Pierced Circle Elle-ments dies along with an older Avery Elle stamp set, Oh Happy Day



When, I first saw, these Pierced Circle dies, I immediately thought of an archery target and that was my springboard for my card. I felt like I needed to get this card out of my system before I snip apart these dies for other uses! :) 


First, I die cut the pierced circle dies onto a panel of white card stock.   Next, I embossed the sentiment from the Oh Happy Day stamp set with gold embossing powder.  


The glitter vellum arrow is from Crate Paper's Journey collection, and I added a few enamel dots and some pretty gold stripe washi to the panel to keep it from looking too plain.  Finally, I adhered the completed panel to a kraft note card from the Natural Collection A2 folded cards

Your next stop on the hop, is the lovely and talented AJ Otto.  Below is a list of all the designers participating in the hop:
