Ellen Hutson – Spring 2015 Hop

Hello, and welcome to the Spring 2015 Essentials by Ellen Release Hop! I’ll be showcasing some of the new stamp sets and dies In my post today!

And, yay!!! I also get to give this new stamp set, called Mondo Magnolia to a lucky someone! Please leave a comment to enter my giveaway!

I use this gorgeous stamp set for a Mother’s day card.  I first did some watercolouring using a water brush and Loew-Cornell watercolour cakes to create some simple pink paint strokes.

I then stamped the large Magnolia using Versafine Onyx onto the watercolouring and did some stitching around the card base for some simple details. I finished off by stamping a sentiment from Amazing Women and popped it up with some foam tape.

Here’s my finished card!

I have another project using the Be-you-tiful Die and Wild Garden Dies to create an elegant card.

I die cut the flowers with some vellum and stitched it on a piece of cardstock and the cardbase. I then die cut the sentiment in black and adhered it onto the card with some foam tape. A simple card with no stamping 🙂

The fun begins in the CLASSroom and there is also a Grand Giveaway! To enter, be sure to leave a comment there, and at every stop along the hop by May 5th! Winners will be announced May 8th.
