Pool party fun (Avery Elle)

Hi there!

I'm here and on the Avery Elle blog today with this summery card:

It's a clean-and-simple design that packs a colorful punch. I set the scene for the lounging ladies with a pink sky and light blue waves (courtesy of the Summer Scene Elle-ments). I then brought in the girls from Pool Party and set them right into the surf. I love the little drink floating right along with them!



I frame out the scene using the Pierced Hexagon Elle-ments die, and heat-embossed the sentiment onto a strip of dark grey cardstock.

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

Avery Elle summer release blog hop!

Hi there!

Welcome to the Avery Elle summer release blog hop!

I'm showing off the new hilarious/adorable set, Legendary:

I mixed it in with images from Pool Party - the sun-bathing girl looks undisturbed by the kraken coming out of her wading pool! ha!

I stamped and die-cut all of the pieces, and just snipped off a bit of the bottom of the kraken image to make it fit better. The seams were covered by strategically-placed water droplets! Everything was colored using copic markers.

I framed out the images with a new die, the Dotted Frame - I love it too much! To finish up the card, I used a white gel pen to add accents to all of the images, and little white dots to the blue background. I like how that breaks up an otherwise plain layer. The sentiment was broken up into 2 parts, heat-embossed and added to either side of the card.

I hope you like it! Now, onto the fun stuff!
