A Strawberry Rainbow...

Hi everybody,

Jill here and today I would like to share with you the card I have made for the current challenge going on over at the awesome A Blog Named Hero, and this time round the challenge is Rainbow and the collaboration partners are Avery Elle.  Well, what more could you wish for - A Blog Named Hero, Avery Elle, and Rainbows?

And here's my card...

 I went with a sweet and simple design using Avery Elle's Berry Good set. 

 I started by drawing a circle in the top centre of my card panel, took this gorgeous cute little strawberry from the Berry Good set, and stamped it out around the circle using Hero Arts Black Ink. I then coloured these adorable little strawberry's using various Distress Inks as watercolours, in all the colours of the Rainbow. I then stamped out my sentiment from the same Berry Good set and clear heat embossed. I then went back over my strawberries giving them a lick of a Wink of Stella and a coat of Glossy Accents.

 I then matted my panel onto a piece of black card, and mounted the whole thing onto a white card base. 

I wanted to keep my card really clean & simple so decided to leave it there.

I really hope you like it I would love to read any comments so please feel free to leave them. see you next time 

The Perfect Pair...

Hi everyone,

And welcome to my page and place on this wonderful blog hop, I hope you're enjoying yourself so far!

I could not be happier to be part of this wonderful Design Team.  I am a giant megafan of all things Make The Day Special, always have been, always will be!  And we have two people to thank for it, and that is Tara and Rick.  The hard work they put in to bringing us all the things we love, and that make us all very happy, is truly quite astounding. 

So we just wanted to say 'Thank you', and show how much we appreciate them and their hard work...and this seemed the most fitting way!  So Tara, I really hope you're loving it...

And here's my 'foodie' offering, to Tara and Rick...

I used Avery Elle's 'Berry Good' set as this just seemed to match our theme perfectly.

I stamped out the pear, twice, adding the sentiment to the middle of one.  I then watercoloured and fussy cut both.  I added a patch of watercolour to my card panel, with a few flicks and splodges added across my background.  I added a twirl of twine, and embellished with a scattering of enamel dots and a few little gems.  I matted onto black card, and mounted onto a kraft card base, and there you have it, a simple celebration of an awesome couple!

Well, that's me done, but boy oh boy is there still some amazing inspo ahead of you!  Next up is our unreal talented and awesome Julia ...and a full list of all blogs in case any one got a little lost!
