If you want a set that is so versatile for just about any occasion.....check out Everyday Doodles.  This is one of my favorite sets!  

I created a CAS card using the bloom and leaves images from this set.  What I love is that the images are meant to not line up.  This makes creating a CAS super easy!!  I added my flowers to a scored note card and embellished with clear droplets.  The sentiment fit perfectly in the scored lines and is from All Inside stamp set.....which while you are over at Ellen Hutson, check out that adorable set too!

Avery Elle / Unicycle


Hello!
  I am here sharing some FUN with the set Unicycle.  These images are so adorable!!


Unicycle 


The images were Copic colored, die cut, and set aside in order to assemble my card background.  

Using the Best Day Ever die out of white cardstock.  The various pieces were pieced back into the frame "temporarily" in order to lay the pieces back in correctly.  Once done, the frame was removed.  This panel was added to the note card which was layered with a cherry red cardsock.  

I added my Copic colored images to the lower right of my card and added the large die cut sentiment from Best Day Ever.  I haven't used enamel dots in a long time but this card screamed enamel dots!

*********************************************

I have THREE cards to share using basically the same products.  I've used Need a Hand and School of Fish Bold Prints.

My first card uses some of the adorable images from Need a Hand.  The images were Copic colored, die cut, and set aside.  Broken China Distress Ink was blended over the right lower corner of the note card.  The panel was spritzed with water and flicked with Faded Jeans Distress Ink.  The sentiment (this one cracks me up) was stamped in black ink and my images were added with foam adhesive around the sentiment.  A few water droplets were added as a final touch!

Need a Hand

*********************************************

My second and third cards are very similar.  Both panels were ink blended with Faded Jeans, Broken China, Chipped Sapphire, and Salty Ocean Distress Inks.  

The first card is a clean and simple version.  An area was masked off, ink blended, and then the small school of fish image from Need a Hand was stamped repeatedly across the panel.  1/8" black strips were added to the top and bottom to "hide" an oopsie I made while trying to outline this with a black marker!  

Go with the flow


The second card uses the same ink blending colors but the School of Fish Bold Prints was over stamped with black ink.  I used the Misti for this as I had to ink it a few times for the look I wanted.  A simple white sentiment strip was added along with water droplets.

Reverse Confetti / Something to Brighten Your Day


Hello!
I'm here today to share more fun using the new Stained Glass Butterflies from the new release!


I wanted to try some color for my butterfly but in the form of colorful stripes BEHIND the image.  Plus, I thought it was a great way to show you don't have to color these images!  I stamped the butterfly onto vellum using Staz-On black ink and die cut using the Stained Glass Butterflies Confetti Cuts.



For the color, I cut 3/8' stripes of Reverse Confetti cardstock in the colors Sunshine, Iced Aqua, Navy Blue, Royal Purple, and Salsa.  To make it easy to adhere straight, I adhered them to a piece of typing paper and then trimmed.  For a fun detail, I white heat embossed the polka dot strip from Background Builder over my striped panel.  This striped panel was then adhered to a note card.  A sentiment from Best Sentiments was stamped in bold black ink below.  My vellum butterfly was adhered to the colorful striped panel on the card.


Hope this brightened your day today!

Avery Elle / Monkey See Monkey Do

Hello!  
I'm here sharing an underwater scene using Monkey Sea Monkey Do from Avery Elle.  
I'm quite jealous of those being able to go to the beach and ocean right now with the weather we have here in Kansas!

***Shop for all Avery Elle HERE***


 I created my background using the Waves Elle-ments.  I started by ink blending Broken China Distress Ink over a panel of cardstock and spritzing with water.  Once dry, it was die cut using the Waves die.  When die cutting a die like this, I like to leave some of the pieces in place.  It gives your scene much more dimension!  I trimmed the panel down and adhered over a note card that was very loosly ink blended with more Broken China Distress Ink.  What this does is leave some white space for shadows in the background!  The whole note card was spritzed with Avery Elle Clear Shimmer Spray.

The images were all Copic colored, die cut, and adhered with foam adhesive for an underwater scene.  A sentiment strip was also added to the scene.  To finish, many clear bubbles were added to make the scene come alive.



Supplies:

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!

Reverse Confetti / July Blog Hop!

A little hello

Welcome to the Reverse Confetti JULY Blog Hop!
  
Make sure to check out the Reverse Confetti blog for all the details of this hop and for a full list of inspiration and information.  Let's celebrate this AMAZING release!!!



I had to circle back around to my favorite set of the release......the Multi Step Cacti.

I started with the Background Builder and stamped my own black striped paper and added rainbow accents of color using the dotted stamp in the set.  I trimmed the panel down so that there was white space on both sides.  On one of the black stripes, the sentiment from Best Sentiments was white heat embossed.  I added some cacti stamped in hues of green with foam adhesive.

Reverse Confetti / Countdown to Confetti Day 3

Stained Glass Butterfly 

Hello!
It's time for Day 3 of the July release from Reverse Confetti!  We welcome 7 new stamp sets and 8 new Confetti Cuts (THREE new Cover Plates)!  
We are in the last day of this AMAZING release......let's see what we have today!

Make sure to check out the Reverse Confetti blog for a list full of inspiration and information on all the new goodies!!

Shop for all your Reverse Confetti HERE!!


Stained Glass Butterflies is a bold outlined set of gorgeous images.  

I decided to use the florals for a Congrats card.
I started by using the Cross Tiles Cover Panel as an impression plate for a background.  I love using this technique because it give a totally different look (more subtle) than an actual die cut panel.  

The images were very loosely Copic colored and die cut.  They were arranged over my impressed note card and adhered.  The sentiment, from Best Sentiments, was stamped on a white tag from Three Tags which was adhered using foam adhesive and tied off with black twine.
