Hi there!
wowza, this blog has just sat here with no new posts for the last few months. I've been posting stuff to instagram, but it feels like no one visits blogs anymore. I'd love to hear your opinion on that!
But today, I'm so excited for today's Avery Elle new release blog hop! I designed 5 sets for this release, and you'll find them all in the store HERE.
Today, I'm showing off the Rain Or Shine stamp set, and I've crafted 3 cards to show you:
My first card features the fox and his little duck friends! There are 2 ducks included in the set, but by tilting them a little differently, they look like they are all unique. I did an ink-blended background, and let it get hazy towards the middle. I then used my white gel pen to create the rain drops - some dashes, some round drops.
To finish up the card, I used a copic marker to add darker puddles beneath their boots, and the white gel pen to add highlights.
Where my first card featured bright, primary colors, my next one is softer in its pastel colors. I brought in the bear and the little frog. I love his little googly eyes! I had no idea how hard it would be to draw a frog, by the way. Go figure, he's one of the smallest critters and I drew some really odd looking ones before I settled on him. I love how the bear and fox are providing him some shelter!
For this card, I only ink-blended around the top, and left the ground white. I added some soft blue puddles under their feet.
My last card is the most simple, but still so sweet. I used the Star Scene die to provide the cut out, and backed it with a Waves die-cut in the background. I then layered a sweet scene featuring the bunny and his little snail friend.
I hope you like what I created for you! I am running a giveaway on my instagram today - be sure to leave me a comment there to be entered to win a stamp set of your choosing from the new release.

ReplyDeleteI still love visiting and commenting on blogs! Please continue posting here! Congrats on your 5 new sets!!! Your sample projects are so adorable!!! Those critters in their boots and rain slickers are too cute for words!
ReplyDeleteI will visit your IG but also am leaving a note here! These are FANTASTIC images and the way you set up your cards and colored them is just splendid... there is probably a pun about raining cats and dogs (and ducks!) or I could say that I am glad you have not been "under the weather" lately, but I am so tired at this point in the work week that I am just going to say THANK YOU, ELENA!! I love your cards and always have!

SO darned cute! This reminds me of my little granddaughter. She LOVES to walk in the rain with her boots, jacket and umbrella. And the card with the frog is precious. You did an amazing job!
