Mondo Wildflowers For Ellen Hutson

I'm super excited to be on the Ellen Hutson blog today with this Mondo Wildflowers card.

There is a lot going on in this card despite the simplicity, let me tell you about it.

Mondo Wildflowers Stamp Set and Dies.

I colored the image with Copic Markers.  

Yellows: YR24, YR23, Y26, Y35, Y21

Greens: G85, G24, G43, YG61, G40

Blues: BG78, BG75, BG72, BG11, BG70

Reds: R46, R08, R14, R22, R02

For the background, I ink blended the center and spread it out to where there would be a little under the edges of the image.  I used Iced Spruce Distress Oxide ink and Bundled Sage. 

Before it dried, I sprinkled it with Black Embossing Powder.  It looks like a solid, ruined black mess, but don't freak out!  Use a brush and lightly pounce (don't rub, wipe or brush) the areas that are too heavy and then flick it off by tapping on the backside of the cardstock.  Keep pouncing on the powder and flicking until you have left exactly what you want. Then use your embossing heat tool to melt.  It looks pretty cool close up!

Once it is all dry (because you don't want any excess powder on this one!), stamp the sentiment in Versamark and sprinkle with Copper Embossing powder and emboss.

Adhere the image with Foam Squares.  I also colored and cut out some of the extra flowers and leaves in the set and positioned them at the bottom of the bouquet.

New Spring Coffee by The Rabbit Hole Designs

I'm loving coloring this new Spring Coffee set from Rabbit Hole Designs!  There are so many possibilities for color and card lay outs.

I used Copic markers for coloring the image and Distress Oxide inks for the background with a circle stencil.  I embossed the sentiment on black cardstock.

This stamp set is only a $10.99, everyone needs this beauty. Plus take a look around at all the cute bunnies on their website!

I used Sweet Sentiment cardstock to stamp and color the image on and it makes ink blending a breeze.  Paper really does make a difference for some mediums. By the way, if you struggle to come up with Copic blending colors, HERE is a fabulous tool for you!

Easter Basket Builder with Spring Flowers

Easter is just a week away and I'm not done using all these cute Easter sets!  

Today I've used the basket from the Easter Basket Builder set and the flowers from the Spring Joy set to make this card.

The images are colored with Copic Markers and there is a bit of ink blending in the background with Antique Linen and Scattered Straw.

There is a strip of 1/4" black cardstock and 1/8" Gold Mirror Paper below the basket.

Hello Spring sentiment is in the Spring Joy Stamp Set.
