Soy special (new Ellen Hutson!)

Hi there!

I'm here and on the EH classroom blog with a few cards showing off the new Essentials by Ellen sets, designed by Julie Ebersole.

They are SOY much fun! I made 2 cards to share with you today. My first card uses the Wasabi stamp set. I couldn't decide which images to use, so I stamped myself a full background.

I love, LOVE coloring so I opted out of using the images that would do all the work for me. I sat there and colored while texting my husband to tell him to bring us home some sushi.

Once all of the images were colored, I colored the background with a very light pink marker (I know some of you will let me know that I am crazy to do this) and then used a darker pink to add shading under each image. I also used a white gel pen to add little dots, but it's hard to see in the photos.

My next card uses the new Good Fortune stamp set and Fortune Cookie dies. You guys, these are so great. I made up for taking so much time coloring the first card and whipped this one up right quick.

I used a sponge and red distress ink to rub a "lucky" red circle onto my card-front.  I then got too handsy with the water droplets, but I decided to run with it. They are not subtle, lol. I curved my favorite sentiments around the top and bottom of the red circle, and popped my fortune cookies in the middle.

The best part... pull on the fortune.

It's a good one!
