Avery Elle--Petals & Stems

I'm thrilled to be guest designing for Avery Elle this month

and today I'm sharing a card made with Petals & Stems, one of four new sets

from their March release. And it's a beauty of a set.

I decided to keep the card simple and let the gorgeous bloom take center stage.

After stamping the flower I cut it out and adhered it with dimensional tape

onto some randomly stamped leaves.

The sentiment was also placed on dimensional tape and I scored some lines 

and rounded off one corner to finish the card.

Did you know that most Avery Elle stamp sets come with free cut files 

to help simplify your card making? Gotta love that!

You can find Petals & Stems and the rest of the new release

on sale in the Avery Elle store.

CFC92--Wallpaper

The current challenge at CASual Fridays is Wallpaper--stamp your own background 

on your clean and simple project.

Here's my card using Avery Elle's Fanfare set.

I love the wave pattern which reminds me of Japanese woodblock prints.

It also resembles the scales on a fish--if you tilt your head to the side.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

CAS(E) this Sketch 17

Sketch #17 at CAS(E) this Sketch is this little number by Jackie Rockwell.

 My card came together quickly, mainly because I knew that

I was going to use washi tape. And it's such a friendly sketch.

I used black and gray washi tapes and punched out Martha's butterflies

from some ink distressed scraps. A one word sentiment and the card was done.

I love it when a card comes together in 10 minutes or less.

 And a friendly sketch helps.

I also learned that stamping on washi tape can be a little slippery.
So using a stamping press really helps with getting a good impression--with no slip ups.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

CASology--Circle

This week's cue word at CASology is CIRCLE.

I was going to make a circular card but couldn't think of a CAS design,

so I decided to enter this card just under the wire.

I'm counting on all the little circles that make up the bloom
to qualify this card for the challenge.

This was a last minute bridal shower card for my daughter's friend

using Paper Smooches' Bold Blooms. 

I added a touch of Rock Candy Stickles and the sentiment

is also from Paper Smooches.
