Ellen Hutson May Pin-sights challenge

Hello.

I'm so excited to be to be participating in May's Pin-sights challenge over at Ellen Hutson. 

The pin-sights challenge is a monthly challenge based on a Pinterest inspired mood board.

One lucky winner will get  $50 to spend at Ellen Hutson.

Please be sure to use Essentials by Ellen products  and the mood board to qualify.

Here is the inspiration picture. 

There is so much to choose from ...that's why I have two cards :)

For my first card i as inspired by the use of patterned paper in the bottom right corner.

I have used paper from Lawn fawn.

I splashed some gold perfect pearls mixed with water onto the patterned paper for some extra detail.

I have die cut the wild garden dis all in white and love how it make them really pop from the paper.

To keep the look quite bright with plenty of white I used a white die cut frame.

Once everything was adhered in place I stamped the sentiment from bold blooms onto the patterned paper.

The card is finished with some gold stickles and some sequins.

My next card as mostly inspired by all of the colours of the flowers. 

I also wanted to use some of the gold and wood craft from the inspiration photo.

I water coloured my panel with Peerless water colours.

Once dry I added some splashes of gold perfect pearls mixed with water.

Then stamped my sentiment from fancy thanks in black archival ink.

I die cut the water colour panel and placed onto a white scalloped panel.

Using the Wild garden dies next, I cut from balsa wood, glitter card and gold card. 

Again i finished with some sequins.

You can find items I used by following the links.

Mix it up

Hello.

The mix it up challenge from Ellen Hutson this time is Altenew.

I have used the Altenew dodecagram stamp set.

I heat embossed in white then water coloured. 

I masked a panel in the centre and stamped the sentiment from Essentials by Ellen Fancy thanks set.

I finished by adding some bling ...I didn't follow a pattern just lifted strips from the pack and place them on.  :)

Thanks for looking.

Mix it up take 2

Hello.

As there is still some time to enter the Mix it up challenge at Ellen Hutson i made another card using Essentials from Ellen and Avery Elle.

I started by partially die cutting my card panel with the bold blossoms dies.

Then on to my card base i stamped the images from Avery Elle's Petals and stems stamp set in various distress inks.

I also used the sentiment from the same set. 

I adhered the panel on foam tape to my card base and finished with some clear sequins.

Thanks for looking.

Dazzling Divas #73

All good things must eventually come to an end and after much consideration Monica Weaver from Add a Little Dazzle has decided to close the Dazzling Diva Challenge. The blog and boutique will continue being open offering unique creations and Add a Little Dazzle Craft Metal Sheets. I invite you to continue following the Add a Little Dazzle blog.

Although our final challenge is the cute spring inspired image ive gone a little off from that and just used the the yellow and white colours. 

My card uses Essentials by Ellen stamps and dies. 

To start i inked up the card base with orange and yellow distress inks.

I die cut a the images with white card three times,

Then adhered the images and again blended them with the same inks.

The large image is stacked and the fourth top layer is wondrous white craft metal sheets.

The sentiment is stamped with black archival ink and is for Monica and all of the ladies on the design team.

To add a little more dazzle i finished with the sequins and tiny flat gems.

I do hope you have enjoyed the challenges and will help us go out on a high and join in this final challenge.

Its been an absolute blast being with the girls on the team and making for the challenges each week. 

I would like to say thanks to Monica for all of her hard work behind the scenes organising blog hops and us despite a very difficult time.

Thanks for looking.
