Hello Everyone, Welcome to the Essentials by Ellen 2016 Holiday Previews. You should have come from the Amazing Sandy Allnock's Blog. But if you did not, you can start at The CLASSroom so you don't miss anything.
For my first project, I used the new Stitches Cover Plate, Bird Shapes, the berry sprig image from Homespun Holiday, and peace die-cut from Holiday Words.
For the sentiment "May your holidays be filled with wonder and touched by" is from the new Season To Sparkle stamp set, I simply cover the work "peace" with washi before inking it on the Versamark ink. Then removing the washi tape before stamping the sentiment on a gray cardstock and white heat embossed to give a white colored look. The peace die-cut is from the Holiday Words die, I also die-cut the word 4 times adhered it on top of the other and then distressed the bottom and added some Stardust Stickles for glitz.
Next, I heat white embossed the snowflakes image from the same set. Then distressed each snowflakes and die-cut them with Season To Sparkle Designer dies. I also added some Stardust Stickles on this card as well.
Next, I stamped the rock image randomly on the the white cardstock, distressed it then fussy cut. The deer was stamped colored with Copic Markers and die-cut as well. All die-cut images were adhered with foam tape for dimensions.
Here's another look.
I hope you enjoyed these products.
