Avery Elle: Lucky and We Go Together
Just stopping in with some fun Avery Elle cards today:) This first card pairs the new Lucky set with the older Circle It set. This card is a preteen girl, so I went with fun bright colors and enamel dots. I used the tiny dots from Circle It to make my own custom bokeh/confetti background. Love the happy colors:)
I also have a card that I didn't get to share last week. We have a lot of
boys in our family so I always feel like I'm looking for a masculine card!
It's such a challenge to create something festive but not boring or,
even worse, girly;) That's why I was so happy to see the little guitar
and drum stamps in the new Avery Elle We Go Together set:) Here's what I made with them!
First I stamped a tone-on-tone background with the guitars. I used Fog ink on Fog card stock. Then I die cut the letters (using my Avery's Alpha dies)
onto a triangle panel and stamped on the drum set. Part of the drum
set continued over the bottom of the letter "Y", so I stamped it on the
red backing panel and colored it in with a white pen. The last step was
to paper piece the parts of the drum set and glue them on with foam
tape. I colored the drums just a bit to match the gray background. Fun
stuff!
Thanks for popping in today! Please stop by Heather's blog and check out her cute card!
