it's finally here and i'm so excited!!! welcome to the holiday II essentials by ellen release hop! i'm thrilled to be showing off the fabulous new essentials by ellen clear stamps, santa's flight and the adorable christmas scribbles with it's new coordinating die.
first up, santa's flight:
first i stamped the "to" stamp in versafine onyx black on bazzill sugar wafer cardstock. i stamped and embossed the seal in white. i die cut a few hearts from red hots bazzill with the essentials by ellen designer dies home & hearth set. i gave them a good coat of clear wink of stella, folded them in half and adhered them to the card only in the middle. i added a few little snowflakes and twine.
next is christmas scribbles! you might recognize the christmas scribbles stamp set, you might even be lucky enough to have it from last year's release. and thanks to this holiday II release, there are now coordinating dies!
next is christmas scribbles! you might recognize the christmas scribbles stamp set, you might even be lucky enough to have it from last year's release. and thanks to this holiday II release, there are now coordinating dies!
on a 2-1/2 x 4 piece of solar white, i stamped the gifts and twinkly snowflakes in versafine smokey gray. i performed a little stamp surgery on my sentiment to cut it into 2 pieces and then i stamped it with versafine onyx black. i stamped the gifts and tree in versafine onyx black and watercolored them with distress inks squeezed lemonade, mowed lawn, picked raspberry and peacock feathers. when the inks were dry, i die cut them with the coordinating dies. i machine stitched the panel and adhere it to a 3-1/2 x 5 card. finally i foam mounted my watercolored die cuts to my card.
