Here's to You
Here's my card for the current AEI♥U challenge. It may be hard to believe, but this simple little card uses four--yes, four!--different Avery Elle stamp sets!
My focal image is the martini glass from the We Go Together stamp set. I stamped it in black ink on a white cardstock panel, then used a fine tip pen to draw in the olive. I added just a bit of color to the image with some Copic markers.
The sentiment is from the The Man set. I stamped it next to the glass, then underlined it with an arrow from the Aim High set, stamped in Avery Elle's Aquamarine ink. A trio of green enamel dots arranged around the image adds another pop of color and a little dimension, too.
The fourth and final set was used to create the striped strip at the left edge of the card. I stamped the long striped border image from the Celebrate set repeatedly along a light blue cardstock strip, alternating between aquamarine and green ink to create a pattern. I adhered the strip to the edge of the card base, then layered the stamped image panel on top.
Materials Used:
from i {heart} papers: Avery Elle The Man, Aim High, Celebrate, and We Go Together stamp sets, Aquamarine ink; Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black ink and Memento Luxe Pear Tart ink; Studio Calico green enamel dots
other: Sea Glass and Aquamarine cardstock (Avery Elle); markers (Copic)
