Hang In There
Hi readers! Happy Tuesday to you! I hope your week is starting off wonderfully. :) Today we have a totally cute card colored with colored pencils and featuring sweet new designs by Avery Elle by the incredibly talented Yainea of My Paper Journey! If you haven’t stopped by her fabulous blog yet, I highly encourage you to do so as it is always so beautiful and inspiring!
We hope this sweet design inspires you today!
It’s Yainea here and I’m so happy to be here again as a guest designer! I’m playing with the new Avery Elle Summer release and I made a card using the Tweet Tweet stamps and dies.
First, I cut a piece of white Neenah cardstock and stamped randomly the leaves of the set to use them as feathers. Then I stamped the rest of the images and colored the bird and feathers using Prismacolor pencils with Gamsol (I LOVE this technique!).
The next step is die cut a white rectangle using Wonky Borders, those stitches look great and add something extra to the card. I stamped the sentiment with Versafine ink and die cut the bird and cage.
We have everything ready, just assemble everything together: I used Tombow glue to adhere the feathers panel to an Avery Elle Aquamarine notecard and foam adhesive to adhere the wonky panel, bird and cage.
As a final touch, I tied some Lawn Fawn twine to the cage and added a little bow. I hope you like my project! Thanks so much to the people of Simon Says Stamp for having me today. Have a great day!!

Cute!
This is so fresh and cheerful looking; so clean and crisp. You did a great job. I don’t know how you get colored pencils to look so smooth.
This is so cute! loved the twine and cage element!
What a fun card! Love the colors :)
What a sweet and colorful card!
What a cute card. Love the “feather” background. And using twine to “attach” the swing is so imaginative.. Love the colors you used and your coloring is so good. Great design…TFS
LOVING!! THANKS for haring and have a Fabulous Week!! =)
Super cute card!
Love your design elements and color choices. Cute card.
So cute and cheerful. I really want to try Gamsol. I bought a Dove blender and I’m not happy with it. It doesn’t really blend, just softens lines but leaves colors separate, takes forever to dry and looks oily.
Too cute! I love bird stamps!
So very adorable! I just love that sentiment going with the stamp plus the background paper is just so perfect! Hugs, Robin
