Hi Everyone! It's my last post of 2018, can you believe it?! I can't wait to see what's in store for Avery Elle in 2019 but first let's look back at some of my favorites from 2018. Last week I shared part one of my 2018 favorites HERE . As promised, I'm back to share more favorites this week! This card features many animals from Peek a Boo Pals. I stamped so many I had to make my card extra tall! I picked two water loving animals for the bottom, two forest loving animals for the middle and two tree loving animals for the top! This was a fun way to mix Peek a Boo Pals  and Polar Peek a Boo Pals . I framed the animals with Photo Mat Dies  and added sentiment banners from Party Pals . I blended Distress Ink in each frame and then did a light water color wash on the entire background. The light water color background helps the frames pop. I adore these animals and love how this card turned out! See you in 2019! Supplies: Peek a Boo Pals

Hi Friends! Today I'm sharing some of my favorite products from 2018!  Oh how I love the Magnolia  stamp set from last spring. I knew I wanted to start with this set. Let me show you how I water colored it! First, I heat embossed the magnolia flower on water color paper.  Next I did a super light color wash with Mimosa liquid water color.   I like to let the base color dry and then I add my shading. Paint the lines with a damp (not super wet) brush, then blend them in.  Once the lines are blend let it dry again and repeat the process. I found that by letting the project dry between layers of paint that I can control the color better. After I made my flower with Mimosa water color paint I decided to make another with Cherry  Next I added a few more of my favorite products. The sentiment is from Grateful  and the gorgeous background is my all time favorite Chevron Mat . Thanks for stopping by! What are some of your favorite Avery Elle prod

Hi Everyone! Today I'm sharing Stuck on You  along with And Then sentiment stamps. I made some small love notes that are so sweet! Let's take a look! First, I cut white card stock in 3 x 4 inch pieces and rounded the corners. Next, I heat embossed sentiments from And Then on to each card and blended Distress Ink on the entire card.  Next, I stamped the large cactus several times from  Stuck on You  and colored them with Copics. I added one cactus to each card and they were complete! These will be so fun to tuck in to lunches or give with small gifts for Valentines day! So fun!
