Essentials by Ellen - Pin-Sights Challenge - You Are Fabulous

Let's just all admire the photos above for awhile! I mean look at those beautiful colors. Not a chance I could pass up creating a card for this month's Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge! 

I used the Bold Blooms stamps and dies + watercolors to make my flowers and leaves colorful. My sentiment was created with a mix of the Totally Fabulous dies and the Totally Awesome stamp set. And to finish it, I added a few sequins and a bit of white twine. 

Thanks for popping in today. Wishing you a happy day!

Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge - Oh Happy Day

 

Joining in for this month's Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge. It's all about green this month, which was certainly a challenge for me. Green isn't normally a color I create with. I use it for accents, but not usually for my main color.

 Bold Blooms certainly gets A LOT of love in my studio. I just love this set! After stamping all of my floral images in greens, I pulled out another favorite of mine, Up the Happy. I die cut and stamped two butterflies, using vellum, and heat embossed them in black.

After attaching the butterflies to my stamped floral panel, I added a few clear and black sequins. To complete it I added a strip of fun aqua pom pom trim.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope your day is happy!

Up the Happy - Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge

This month the Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge is all about one of my favorite colors ... Aqua! Of course, I had to create a little something and enter.

Up the Happy is the stamp set I inked up for my card. I started with a white base that I die cut using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I created my balloon cluster using the masking technique and then colored them in using watercolors. I decided to dress up a few of the balloons by using my white gel pen to add stripes and dots.

To fancy up my card a little bit more, I die cut a butterfly using the coordinating Up the Happy die collection and then stamped and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. To finish, I added a few sparkly sequins and clear drops and then attached it all to my aqua card base using white dimensional foam.

So happy you popped in today. I hope your day is wonderful!

Have A Happy Birthday - Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge

Joining in for this month's Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge. When I saw the box of inspiration above, the first thing I was drawn to was the bottom photo (3rd one in) with the black stripes and bright flowers!

I started by creating my own striped black and white background. I cut multiple strips of black card-stock, each measuring 1/2" by 4.25". I stamped each of those strips in white ink using the 'Happy' from Totally Awesome. After adhering all of those strips to my card front, I set it aside and moved onto the frame for my sentiment. After that was finished, I attached it to my card front with foam adhesive and moved onto die cutting and adhering all of those colorful flowers. And last but not least, sequins, you just got to have sequins!

Thanks for visiting with me today! I hope you find a little time to create your own card for this challenge. Happy creating!

You Are Absolutely Wonderful

Happy new week! Popping by today to share a card I created for the Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge.

 

I used one of my favorite flower sets to create my card, Bold Blooms, along with the sentiment set, Totally Awesome. I started by using the 3 dots in Bold Blooms to create the polka dot background on my card-base. Next, on a piece of white card-stock, I stamped my sentiment and colored the 'WONDERFUL' in with a Copic marker. I added a strip of glitter along the side, as well as a bit of white twine. Then came the flowers. I die cut and stamped both the flowers and the leaves and then arranged them on my card before adhering them. And last but not least, the buttons were added to each flower.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed and hope you have a fabulous Monday!

Essentials by Ellen August Pin-Sights Challenge

Hello there! I'm joining in for the Essentials by Ellen August Pin-Sights Challenge today. There is so much inspiration in the photo below, but what I love most are the colors, so I chose to focus on those for the card I'm going to share.

Up the Happy is the stamp set I inked up for my project. I love the little butterfly and the font combination in the sentiments. I just recently purchased this set and I can already tell it's going to get a lot of love from me. :)

I kept my layout clean and simple...white card base with pops of happy colors. I simply stamped my butterflies in alternating colors across the bottom and top of my card front. I also included a matching stamped envelope, as you can see in the photo below. Next, using the Lawn Fawn circle dies, I die cut a piece of white card-stock for my sentiment and butterfly to sit on.

And to finish it off, I added two clear droplets to the center of my butterfly and some white twine along the side. 

Thank you for stopping by my little blog today. I hope you enjoyed and hope you have a happy day!
