Avery Elle–Easter Blessings

GIVEAWAY ALERT:  If you’re looking for my Online Card Classes Giveaway, you can find it HERE.

Happy Friday, friends!!

I continue to attempt to catch up on my life since returning from Kansas.  I’m getting there, but still have a few things looming!  Ha!  But I wanted to pop in quickly to share a couple of projects that I created for one of the new Avery Elle stamp sets called Easter Blessings.

Have you all watched THIS video that Jennifer McGuire shared a while back?  This foil transfer thing is really fascinating to me!  I had a chance to play with it a bit in Kansas, so I wanted to see if I could try the same thing on this Easter Blessings image.  I’m not as happy with how it turned out as I would have liked.  But I think with practice it will get better.  Jennifer talks about five different ways to add foil to your projects – I used the stamped image technique.  And with this project I used the Rainbow transfer foil.  I also used the Pinked Elle-Ments to cut out the image panels on this project and the next one, and I used a notecard from the Caribbean Collection.

Gold is such a hot trend these days, so I wanted to see how the gold would look.  I like it, but again I feel like it could be a little less “rustic.”  I’ll keep working on my technique and hopefully it’ll get better.  But I think both of these projects would be super fun Easter cards, and a true departure from the usual pastels.

That’s it for  me today, friends!  I’ll be back in a little bit to announce the winner of the giveaway that I had going on for the Spring Coffee Lover’s  Blog Hop!! I’m a bit late in announcing the winner . . . oops!  Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a great weekend!!
