Hey,
So I had a great time over the super long holiday weekend, I had brunch with friends and Hubby, went on a Macy's rummage with a friend and then Hubby and I hit the boat party. It was a lot of fun and I felt totally relaxed yesterday.
I also managed a couple of long sessions playing at my desk, which was nice after the 6 days away from it! I broke out old and new things to play with.
Today I am showing you two cards I made using my new Avery Elle Birthday Bus stamp and die set.
The main card is a bit of a CASE - I really liked the card Elena made and I have the cover plate die, so thought why not!
I watercoloured the bus and the presents, I made a mistake, so I had to fussy cut out the windows - ugh, but it does look nicer, I wish dies would do that..
I thought a piece of red spotty paper in the aperture would be a great foil for the blue card blank and the red bus. I stamped the sentiment from the set onto a piece of red cardstock and affixed it at a jaunty angle, to give the bus a bit of movement.
I stamped and coloured two of the bus and present stamps, so I thought why not make a similar card, using a different cover plate (I don't have as many of these as I'd like..)
I love the Hexstar cover plate by Neat and Tangled, it makes everything look good. The only different with this card really is the lack of fussy cutting, it probably would have looked nicer, but I just couldn't face it!
I love how they both turned out, giving me a couple of fun cards for my stash.

Glad to hear that you had a fab few days. Love the cards, I feel your pain at fussy cutting land locked bits. The cover plate dies are great, I think I need more too!
