  Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. I enjoyed making this card and think the stamp from Avery Elle is stunning, don't you? Today I decided to use my Zig clean colour real brush markers to colour this stamp in. They are lovely to work with on either watercolour card or like I have used in this project, Bristol smooth cardstock. You'll be amazed at how effortlessly they blend. Have you tried out Zig clean colour real brush markers before? If so, I would love to hear your thoughts on them, just leave a...

Hey lovelies!I'm back this week to share a birthday card using Mama Elephant's "Stackable Cuties" stamp set!  I cut a panel from white card stock using Altenew's "Cube Cover" die and another panel the same size to back it with.

I stamped my images using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured them using my alcohol markers. I used a white gel pen to add highlights to my images and some texture to my pufferfish before fussy cutting them out. I cut a panel from white card stock using the...

Hey lovelies!Sharing another love themed card this week, this time I'm sharing my love for coffee with you using the Altenew "Coffee With A Splash" stamp set! This style is way out of my comfort zone as I'm familiar with using cutesy images on my card, it's always good to dust off the cobwebs and dive in to something a little different! I started by cutting two panels of card stock from the largest and second largest of the "Basic Rectangles" Creative Cuts from Mama Elephant, one from black card stock and the other from white. I used Vintage Photo...
