I have a clean and simple card using the mini set, Spread Magic. I started by masking off and ink blending a yellow circle shadow where the unicorn would be highlighted. Using some 1/4" strips of cardstock in pastel colors, these were layered below the yellow shadow. The unicorn was simply colored with coordinating Copic markers and a bit of N1 marker for some shadows. This mini set has SIX sentiments to choose from. Be Extraordinary just made sense with these colors! To embellish, the mini stars from the set were stamped in black in and tiny black dots were added with a fine tip Sharpie.

Avery Elle / Best Day
****Shop for Avery Elle HERE****
There are four adorable critters in the Best Day set so I had to color them all up and use them for my card! Each one was Copic colored and die cut using the coordinating dies. I set these aside to begin on the background of my card.
I started with a piece of white cardstock measuring 4 1/4" X 11" and then scored it at 2 3/4" from each end. Such a fun twist on the traditional A2 card! For the blue panel, I die cut a stitched border using Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments and cut it in half. This makes the perfect backdrop for the birthday critters! The "It's Party Time" stamp from, Guess What?, was stamped at the bottom of each side to "ground" the critters. Each critter was added with foam adhesive and to keep the card closed, the flag "pole" is tucked in behind the zebras face. Tiny stars were stamped randomly across the scene and to finish, another sentiment from Best Day was stamped on the inside of the card.

I'm here with a little hello and happy birthday!
I started with the Pierced Birthday Frame Elle-ments. The inside of the frame (the card base) was masked off. The sky and grass were ink blended with Distress Inks. The frame was added over the blended background. Tiny grass "tuffs" were done by adding flicks of Copic G24. The frame was added using foam adhesive. By using the frame, the scene "area" was smaller but perfect for just the images from this set!

Avery Elle / Hippo Hooray
I created the base of the card using the Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments as a basis for my layout. I love the large stitched banner that is included in this set! I ink blended a piece of scrap cardstock with just the ink on my blender brushes for this! The Hippo Hooray images (I used all of them on this card) were Copic colored, die cut, and added to create a mini scene on the inked banner. To my images, I added monochromatic dots for some texture. I finished the card off with a banner sentiment and some white gems.

Avery Elle / You Bake Me So Happy
I started the card with a light ink blended panel using only the ink left on my red blender brush for this soft pink color. The waving row of hearts was stamped in red ink over the pink blended area. This panel was layered behind a white panel that was die cut using a standard circle. The sweet images, the fox and bear, were Copic colored and added to the panel with foam adhesive. The sentiments were white heat embossed onto black cardstock strips. This panel was adhered to a notecard layered with red cardstock that was die cut using the Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments.
