Ellen Hutson April Color Trends Challenge!

Hi! I am so beyond excited to be playing along in this month's Color Trend Challenge over at Ellen Hutson! It's the Drama Queen Color Palette and check out these colors! I happen to love purples and blues, so these colors were right up my alley!

I used the Essentials by Ellen Mermaid's Tail stamp set and coordinating Designer Dies. This set is just too cute! 

I stamped the tail on vellum using a few different color inks, cleat heat embossed it and die cut it out.  I also foiled some Peel N Stick Toner sheets and die cut that out, too.  I wanted to create a bit of a foiled drop shadow behind the tail to show off the vellum.

For the background, I watercolored using Aqua markers.  I pulled it all together onto some Turquoise Sea cardstock and added the cute little shell die cuts.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you will play along to win a $50 Gift Certificate to the Ellen Huston Store!!!!!

Ellen Hutson:Pin Sights Challenge

Hi!
I'm playing along in another Pin Sights Challenge!!

This pin is beautiful, but so out of my comfort zone! I so rarely so soft colors, so I was anxious to push myself.  :)

I used two different Essentials by Ellen dies: Zipper Panel and Bold Blossoms.  I die cut the blossoms and held them down with respositonable adhesive.  I used my Spectrum Aquas (Blossom, Wild Rose and Bud Green) with water to create that effect.

For the die cut, I rubbed some Memento Delicata Silvery Shimmer onto cardstock and then die cut it out.  

Thanks for stopping by - I hope you play along!
