Avery Elle Shine Bright Birthday and Sympathy Cards

Hello!

Today I have two cards using the fantastic Avery Elle Shine Bright stamp set
with the coordinating dies.

I got the set cause my Mother in Law loves lighthouses and knew would be perfect for her. 

I blended  Distress Ink in Seedless Preserve for the sky , Fossilized Amber for the light coming from the lighthouse and a mixture of  Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean for the water.
I stamped the waves from the set also using distress ink in Broken China .

I used Tea Dye distress ink for the sand section and stamped with the same color for the rock like images.

I used the same colors for the water but added Chipped Saphhire to make it more of a nighttime sky.
I made the "light" more subdue but was also using Fossilized Amber but just no as heavy and was onto of the Seedless Preserves. 

I used the following Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers to color in all the images.  

I made a coordinating envelope for the birthday card to make it a fun addition to the card. 

I left this envelope plain due to being a sympathy card but
loved the dark teal color to go with the card. 

These were my first cards using my new set of Spectrum Noir Markers and I fell in love with them!

Thank you for visiting and I will see you next time!
