Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes featuring Avery Elle | shurkus.com

I just had to add the Avery Elle Surf’s Up Stamp Set to my collection! I LOVE the waves stamp that comes with this set and all the other images! I also wanted to try out some of their A-2 Folded notecards. I know you can cut your own- but you know… I’m a lazy crafter so it’s just easier to have a nice notecard ready to go!

Surfs Up, Avery ElleCitrus Collection A-2 Folded Notecards, Avery Elle

I am happy to report that these notecards are a great quality, nice and heavy weight and the colors are so vibrant! I had so much fun watercoloring the images for the card as well.

  • I started by embossing the waves with white powder on Distress Watercolor Cardstock. I then did a wash of Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink over them.
  • I stamped the VW bus in Potting Soil Archival Ink and watercolored it with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink and added a hint of Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to the windows.
  • For the palm trees- I dabbed on Peeled Paint Distress Ink and Vintage Photo Distress Ink directly on the stamps, stamped it on Distress Watercolor and used a wet brush to move the color around.
  • I did the same thing for the sunshine, using Wild Honey. I then dabbed on some Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink to add some shadow.
  • I stamped the surf board in wild honey.
  • I fussy cut everything out, and added them to the beach scene I was creating. I also added a touch of Rock Candy Distress Stickles to the surf board.
