Essentials by Ellen Calling All Artists Pin-Sights Challenge

Today, I have a card to share for a challenge posted

recently.

Essentials by Ellen is looking for guest-designers for their 

Pin-Sights Challenge and I would love to apply to do this!

I decided to pair my Essentials by Ellen Mondo Hydrangea

with a sentiment from Mama Elephant to make my card. 

I started by stamping the hydrangea six times onto my watercolour paper.

Okay, well, three times -- times two.

I stamped in a colour and then, using my MISTI, I stamped again overtop in versamark

so I could heat emboss them in clear.

I used my Zigs to colour them ink. 

For the bottom flowers, I just used one colour (Wine Red) for the petals and used

my water brush to push the colour around.

For the other two flowers, I used a combination of two colours to get the 

desired effect and finished colour. 

For the yellow, I used Yellow and Light Carmine.

For the peach, I used Orange and Light Carmine.

This was new for me to combine colours like this -- but I'm quite

pleased with how they turned out!

I stamped the sentiment (from Mama Elephant's Smitten)

and trimmed my watercolour panel.

I finished it off with a strip of black cardstock along the side.

Thanks for looking!
