I recently made my first purchase from Ellen Hutson.com and boy are their products amazing! I picked up a few sets and most of the Catherine Pooler Inks – can’t wait to get stuck into them! I got to playing and noticed the current Pinsights Challenge – how could you not be inspired by that colour palette?
Anyhoo, here’s what I made. The first card was created by blending Distress Oxide Inks on Tim Holtz watercolour paper then spritzing with water and some Heidi Swapp Gold Lame colour shine. I then overlaid the panel with the MFT Sun Ray stencil and applied white gesso over it. While that was drying I stamped the image from Mermaid Tail in vermark onto vellum and heat embossed it with Gold Tinsel embossing powder from Ranger. I chose the sentiment from Avery Elle’s Mermaid stamp set anf heat embossed it in gold Avery Elle embossing powder. I assembled everything onto the card adding some gold thread and a few rainbow sequins here and there. Sweet huh?
Supplies:
Mermaid Tale – Essentials By Ellen
Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder – Ranger
Gold Lame Colour Shine Spray – Heidi Swapp
My second card uses the stunning Mondo Peony stamp set from the Essentials By Ellen line. I stamped the large image in gold embossing powder the used Zig Clean Colour Brush Markers to add loose areas of colour randomly across the image. I then sprayed it quite heavily waith water and blended it until I was happy. It did go in the bin at one point because it looked a hot mess! I grabbed it out again though and played with it some more and actually was quite happy in the end!! I added a good spray of shimmer mist to it before fussy cutting it out and putting it on a 4 bar sized card. To finish I added a strip of gold and die cut the happy from Avery Elle’s Sentimental Too dies and the birthday from the co-ordinating stamp set.
