Using only the ink on my pink blender brush, the ink was blended over the stencil onto a panel of white cardstock and onto a 3 1/4' x 3 1/4' separate smaller piece. Into the smaller cardstock piece, the 'HB2U', die from the <b>Modern Tags</b>, was die cut. This square was stamped with a sentiment from the Modern Tags stamp set and then added to the stenciled background using foam adhesive. To keep this simple, a few flowers (from <b>Easter Egg</b>) were Copic colored, adorned with a black gem, and added to the panel.</div><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a data-flickr-embed="false" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/58800916@N02/53510200000/in/dateposted/" title="Modern Tags2"><img alt="Modern Tags2" height="640" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53510200000_968399e034_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://www.averyelle.com/brand-new/">Supplies:</a></b></div><b><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://www.averyelle.com/brand-new/">Modern Tags</a></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://www.averyelle.com/brand-new/">Modern Tags Elle-ments</a></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://www.averyelle.com/brand-new/">Easter Egg</a></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://www.averyelle.com/brand-new/">Easter Egg Elle-ments</a></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://www.averyelle.com/brand-new/">Flower Power Stencil</a></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></b><p></p></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">--Amy ♥</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>Amy Kollinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15211171217044014868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350501765658567636.post-17733982385623142812024-02-01T05:00:00.001-06:002024-02-01T05:00:00.147-06:00Avery Elle / Spring Release 2024<div style="text-align: center;"><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4pO-sRAPMPgVqPTDOh48vhm_QIPeb_jRGcZHSQx9_-iYEF7HSy7hNaGK_MKZ-15hNqkC_a-Zl5_GKb0rR_OvQf5f7zrlWOsSmhI_v5G7UExqz3AqUkW-POpMNw02Riedu_WgtmS_meagI2vZcWkX5ye33ezB6X7UfuQzr9KTIhQDzDqK7a2n0vNcyUg_Z/s288/AELogo%20(1).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="288" data-original-width="288" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4pO-sRAPMPgVqPTDOh48vhm_QIPeb_jRGcZHSQx9_-iYEF7HSy7hNaGK_MKZ-15hNqkC_a-Zl5_GKb0rR_OvQf5f7zrlWOsSmhI_v5G7UExqz3AqUkW-POpMNw02Riedu_WgtmS_meagI2vZcWkX5ye33ezB6X7UfuQzr9KTIhQDzDqK7a2n0vNcyUg_Z/w200-h200/AELogo%20(1).png" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPV7agkxfKNXKOMzgwr04bz_L3s8dsF9GOX4AEH0N2IMmlRq_OkluZKQHO3QXPEQJcV2Q1GlEC4YCXjdLO7ZTUk4bbj62ez3HWlqDwb1flgrHa3LWV4aX4_WXEOpagmgTsAHcbrxOvQXrmL5Nu_wAmUf5S67ZkEhNBcurQe9J6VetqYQ5ku2jzf3yEQiK3/s4284/_AveryElleSpring2024ReleasePhoto.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4284" data-original-width="4284" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPV7agkxfKNXKOMzgwr04bz_L3s8dsF9GOX4AEH0N2IMmlRq_OkluZKQHO3QXPEQJcV2Q1GlEC4YCXjdLO7ZTUk4bbj62ez3HWlqDwb1flgrHa3LWV4aX4_WXEOpagmgTsAHcbrxOvQXrmL5Nu_wAmUf5S67ZkEhNBcurQe9J6VetqYQ5ku2jzf3yEQiK3/w640-h640/_AveryElleSpring2024ReleasePhoto.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I am so excited because the Spring 2024 Release from Avery Elle is finally here!!

font-size: medium;">We have released some fun "treat" ideas for those Valentines!<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;

I've decorated some of mine with the Burlap Background for some added texture. I added some mini tags (hand trimmed by myself because I don't have the mini tag dies) with burlap string from Taylored Expressions.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /><a data-flickr-embed="false" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/58800916@N02/53466161194/in/photostream/" title="Amy_Berry Sweet Treat2"><img alt="Amy_Berry Sweet Treat2" height="640" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53466161194_fe6cb559df_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></div><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">--------------------------------------------------</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Our second treat is the <b>I'm a Sucker for You</b>. This treat is super quick to assemble and would be easy for some younger hands! The dies have stitching detail around the edges of the petals and leaves. I've used a bone folder to loosen the petals and bend them to curve outward. You can decorate the stems with Washi Tape and this keeps the leaves and flower at the top. You can use Tootsie Pops or other larger sucker! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /><a data-flickr-embed="false" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/58800916@N02/53465983018/in/photostream/" title="Amy_I'm a Sucker"><img alt="Amy_I'm a Sucker" height="640" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53465983018_f6783765d9_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Hope you have enjoyed these projects!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Happy treat making!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">--Amy ♥</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>Amy Kollinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15211171217044014868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350501765658567636.post-2626559690117590542024-01-16T05:00:00.004-06:002024-01-16T05:00:00.143-06:00Avery Elle / Scoop<div style="text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Hello!</span></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: center;">I am here sharing a "scoop" of happiness! </div></span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The stamp/die set called <b>Scoop</b> from <b>Avery Elle </b>is SO much fun to put together for a shaped card.
