Back today with another Avery Elle new release! Today we're showcasing a set called Merry & Bright! Is it geeky to say that I love fonts? Something about finding the perfect font is so satisfying:) If you're a font or typography fan too, you'll love this set!
Today I have 2 cards to share, one traditional and one a little more colorful! For this first card, I heat embossed the large type stamp in clear and covered it with deep dark red ink. You could heat emboss white onto red cardstock, but I find the blended ink to have a bit more warmth.
For this second card, I heat embossed the same stamp again in clear and blended some neon green ink over it. I cropped the image under the Polaroid frame from Picture It. The rest of the sentiment is stamped in hot pink onto one of the flags from To the Point. I still wanted to keep it clean and white, but this card needed just a little something more. A little bit of flair from my pal Joscelyn Cutchens was the perfect thing!
Thanks for stopping by today! Click on over to see more Merry & Bright projects from Jamie, Kasia, and Chunyuan!

Love how you fit the round sentiment behind a square opening--so cool! And that is a yummy woodgrain!
ReplyDeleteWhoa - yeah it is. M & B.
ReplyDeleteI never thought about it before, but you're totally right - the inking DOES have more warmth to it. I must give this technique a try with the framing...I love it :) And the funky neon green? Too cool & fun!
ReplyDeleteThat wood grain is a real stand out on both of these!! It is so clean and really draws your eye to the sentiments! And wow what a contrast between the two - the first looks so classic and traditional and the second so modern and fresh!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Both are fabulous! TFS
ReplyDeleteNice idea!
