Fall Foliage Card + Favorite Copics for Fall {Avery Elle}

Hello friends,

Just popping in today with a card to share with you featuring Avery Elle's gorgeous Fall Foliage stamp set. I love fall and all the colors that burst forth from the trees. It's also an opportunity to use some Copic Marker color combinations that evoke the hues and shades of fall. With that in mind, I wanted to share with you some of my favorite Copic colors for Fall.



To create my card, I stamped the images from the Fall Foliage stamp set with Versamark ink and heat embossed the images with gold embossing powder. Next I colored the images using the Copic markers noted in the image above.  I die cut the images and arranged them in a wreath around the opening of the Quilted Frame Elle-ments die. 

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment onto an A2 notecard. I adhered the quilted frame die and images to the notecard with foam tape and adhered a few clear droplets as a finishing touch.

Supplies

Fall Foliage Clear Stamps

Dies- Fall Foliage Elle-ments

Dies- Quilted Frame Elle-ments

Rich Gold Embossing Powder

That's all for me today. I hope that these color combinations are helpful as you capture the colors of Fall on your cards. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Delft Blue Windmill Card {Avery Elle}

Hello friends,

Just popping in to share with you today a card featuring Avery Elle's adorable Windmill stamp set.  The Windmill stamp set reminds me of the Netherlands, and the Netherlands remind me of Delft Blue China and Ceramics.  Check out this sweet music box- classic Delft.

Using Delft Blue ceramics as an inspiration, I stamped and colored my Windmill with lots of moody blue Copic Markers (B21, B23, B24, B26 and B28). 

I used the Large Pierced Scallops Elle-ments die to create the frame for the Dutch Delft scene.  I die cut the frame several times from blue card stock and adhered the layers together.

Supplies:

Windmill Clear Stamps

Die: Windmill Elle-ments

Die: Large Pierced Scallops Elle-ments

I hope you enjoyed this little Dutch journey.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Avery Elle Summer 2017 Blog Hop!

Hello, hello friends, 

So excited for today to share with you my very first project using Avery Elle's Summer 2017 release! It's one that's definitely cool for the summer!  

I used the Cool Treats stamp set to do a little "no line" coloring with Copic Markers.  What you do is stamp your images with a light ink- here I used Distress Ink Antique Linen and when you color the image with your markers, the outline of the stamp disappears like magic! 

Once everything was colored in, I stamped the faces onto the cool treats with brown ink and with a Copic friendly pen, I drew the detail back onto the ice cream cone. 

I die cut the finished panel with the Pierced Rectangle die and stamped the sentiment onto a die cut from the Pierced Banner Layers Elle-ments dies.

A Christmas Chalet {Avery Elle}

Hello friends!

It's Fri-yay!!! Woo-hoo!  It's been a busy week around here. I'm still a little sleep deprived from watching lots of baseball,  but I had to pop in super quick to share my latest Avery Elle card using the Chalet stamp set and coordinating Elle-ments dies.

The Chalet stamp set reminds me of a picture perfect holiday home that you might see in a snow globe.  I tried to capture that feeling by making a shaker backdrop for the card.  The house and tree were colored in using Copic Markers and I added some Stickles to the roof, window sills and tree to create a little snowy sparkle.  All of the Avery Elle supplies I used on this card are linked below:

Chalet Clear Stamps

Die: Chalet Elle-ments

Die: Border Elle-ments

Die: Double Pierced Circle Elle-ments

That's all for me today, but be sure to stop by the Avery Elle blog for more ideas and inspiration.  I will be back next week with a card to share using Avery Elle's new Winter Release!  I'm excited to show you all the cute and clever things in store for in the coming months!

Elf-tacular North Pole Pals {Avery Elle}

Hello friends, 

I am on the Avery Elle blog today with a card featuring the cuties from the Elf-tacular and North Pole Pals stamps sets.  As always, all of my Avery Elle supplies are linked below. :)

To start, I did some ink blending on Distress Speciality card stock using Spun Sugar and Scattered Straw Distress Inks. I used a baby wipe to blend the two colors together and even out the blending lines.  Next I die cut the Falling Snow Die onto the blended card stock.  Typically, I will use this die multiple times to completely cover the card stock, but this time I only die cut it once as I wanted to leave some room at the top to stamp my sentiment using black Staz-On ink.   The final step in the background was to add a couple snow drifts using the Dotted Borders Elle-ments dies. 

I stamped and die cut the Elf, Mr and Mrs Claus and one of the Reindeers and colored in the images using Copic Markers.  They make a super cute Christmas family don't you think?

Happy Woodland Wishes {Avery Elle}

Hello again, :)

I am on the Avery Elle blog today with a card I made featuring the new Woodland Wonders stamp set and die.  All of the Avery Elle supplies I used on my card are linked below. 

I wanted this card to have a soft look, so I stamped the images with a light colored hybrid ink before adding color with Copic Markers.  I stamped and die cut the owl and the banner with the same light ink- I really love how the light ink gives the images an almost storybook quality. 

I die cut the panel with the Pierce Banner Layers Ellements die before attaching it to a notecard from The Midnight Collection.  I tucked a bit of patterned paper from The Neutral Collection behind the panel so a few row of those cutie hearts could peek out. 

Supplies: 

Woodland Wonders stamps set

Die: Woodland Wonders Ellements

Die: Pierced Banner Layers Ellements

The Neutral Collection Paper Pad

The Midnight Collection Folded A2 cards
