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!!

I ADORE this first set we are sharing.......Sending Smiles! It has some bold graphic flowers and leaves.

I created the backdrop for the florals using the new Layered Mom w/ Frame. All my flowers were stamped, die cut, and cut in half. They were laid inside the frame with foam adhesive. A sentiment was stamped and adhered over mid center. A few yellow gems were added to tie it all together!

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

My second card uses a new stand alone die called Egg Carton Die.

The eggs were done using Distress Oxide inks. I actually created a panel of watercolor paper with these colors and then used that paper to die cut the eggs. I added in a cute bunny from Spring Bunnies to tie this together. Background was stamped with Versamark and the Gift w/ Purchase this month (check out the RC blog for details!). Gold splatter was done over the Distress Oxide paper along with the pink layer that was done with the Easter Cover Panel. Finally a sentiment from Springtime Sentiments done in gold heat embossing.

Essentials by Ellen / New Release

Welcome to the new release for the Essentials by Ellen at Ellen Hutson!

I have a few fun "springy" cards to share!

****SHOP for ELLEN HUTSON HERE****

Strawberry Fields is the PERFECT spring set!!

I've used it here as a background with lots of dimension with the berries and flowers. Kept it simple with white on white with the pops of color in the strawberries!

My next card is a little different for me but I LOVE how it turned out!

Using the new Abstract Nature set, I created pastel backgrounds so the abstract leaf could be over stamped in bold black ink. The sentiments are new and AMAZING because they are FOIL......Casual Greetings by Julie Ebersole.

Avery Elle / Rain or Shine

Hello!
I am here sharing some SPRING inspiration using the new Rain or Shine stamp set from Avery Elle.

***SHOP Avery Elle HERE***

To start, an ink blended background of Chipped Sapphire and Faded Blue Jeans Distress Inks was die cut using the Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments. I added in some die cut grass using the Slimline Borders Elle-ments. I added in some water droplets, white pigment ink, and some flicks of Chipped Sapphire ink for the sky. My favorite image from Rain or Shine is this bunny holding the frog umbrella! So I paired it with the frog stuffie. All images were Copic colored and die cut using coordinating dies. The sun, from Flamazing, was added with some die cut clouds (discontinued). This sentiment fit perfectly on the banner die from Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments and was added with foam adhesive.

Supplies:

Avery Elle / Brand New Baby

Hello!

I'm here with a card for a new baby.......with an adorable sentiment!

***SHOP Avery Elle HERE***

To start, a strip of cardstock was die cut using the Slimline Borders Elle-ments cloud. This was used to create an ink blended sky using Salvaged Patina Distress Ink leaving the bottom portion white. The stork image, from Brand New Baby, was Copic colored and die cut. (layered several times for dimension) The cloud panel was made using the stitched rectangle from Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments. I love this simple decorative edge! The sentiment fit perfectly and was stamped onto the curved banner from Easy Layers 1 Elle-ments. To finish, various hearts from the set were stamped with some having Stickles added for some shine.

Supplies:

My favorite set from the last release was the Poppies. Realistic, modern, artistic.....just give them all to me! I'm speaking of flowers but these poppies are just so unique!

The Poppies were stamped in bright fun colors with bold black centers. I paired them with the Celebrate Tag Confetti Cuts. Everything was adhered to a Diagonal Stitches Cover Panel. Silver gems were added as embellishments.

Avery Elle / Monster Love

Hello!

I have a fun technique for all those critter images using a background die!

***SHOP Avery Elle HERE***

The background was created using the Waves Elle-ments once as a stencil using soft ink blending and once as an actual die cut. TIP: Using this die as a stencil is a bit tricky but if you go easy (or use Pixie Spray) a fabulous ink blended background can be made!

The monsters from Monster Love were Copic colored and die cut as well as some supporting images from the set. The white Waves die cut was adhered over the ink blended background. The little openings in the Waves die cut are the perfect spot to "tuck" the critters out of! A few of the images were adhered with foam adhesive and the rest were adhered to make the scene come alive!
