Back for Day #2 of the Avery Elle October release! Today I'm working with the new stamp set "To The Point"!
For my first card, I embossed the multi-chevron stamp in white and blended all kinds of yummy colors over the design. It kind of reminds me of a tropical sunset or a cocktail;) Either way, lots of fun!
I framed out the colorful design with the lovely gray Fog cardstock! Can I say that I've been waiting for this color for like EVER. Love it. I really like the gray as a modern neutral alternative to white or kraft. The sentiment is also from "To The Point" and fits great inside of a little matted window.
For my second card, I did something I enjoy the most, free stamping:) I knew that I would be overlaying the design with vellum, so I just stamped the chevron stamps in 3 loose lines in a variety of colors. To keep my lines somewhat straight, I scored guidelines on the cardstock. Completely unnoticeable under the vellum. This kind of stamping just makes me happy!
That's it for me for Day #2! Click on over to see the other "To The Point" projects from Jamie, Heather, Kasia, and Chunyuan!
