Essentials by Ellen January Pin-Sights Challenge

Today I have a card to share for this month's


I was inspired by the two top photos in the left hand corner of the collage --
my favourite aqua, paired with black!
Here's my card:


I started by stamping the images from my Essentials by Ellen Mondo Peony stamp set
Strathmore watercolour paper and heat embossing it in clear.


I stamped my sentiment (from Mondo Hydrangea) in Altenew Jet Black Ink.
I blended Altenew Moon Rock Ink onto my panel and dropped water drops onto it,
which I soaked up with a tissue.
I adhered my diecut flower with dimensional adhesive.

Thanks for looking!

I love that big peony! Looks so amazing in the aqua color, and the inked background is fabulous, too. Really love that subtle texture that the water droplets add. <3
I'm so sorry I've been MIA lately! Hope to be back to my regular visiting schedule now.
