Essentials by Ellen Winter Release 2015 Blog Hop



Hello, and welcome to the Winter 2015 Essentials by Ellen Release Hop!
I'll be showcasing several of the new stamp sets and dies on my post today,
all designed by the one and only Julie Ebersole.

And, yay, I get to give this new stamp set called Fancy Thanks to a lucky someone
just for leaving a comment on this post!



Here are a couple of cards I created with this versatile stamp set.


For this card, I brought back the Prize Stag from the first Essentials by Ellen release
and added him and the sentiment to a watercolored background.



On the second card, I added some blooms using the Bold Blossoms stand alone dies
that were die cut from gold foil cardstock and backed with colored cardstock.
The sentiment was gold embossed and I added a sprinkling of gold sequins.



My last card uses Love You So, a fun set with brushstroke sentiments.
I inked several colors of Distress Inks and stamped the sentiment in each circle
with Archival ink. A quick and easy card for any "lovey dovey" occasion.

There is also a GRAND GIVEAWAY in the Ellen Hutson Classroom! To enter, be sure
to leave a comment there, and at every stop along the hop by March 2nd.
Winners will be announced on March 4th.
