Hello, and welcome to the Winter 2015 Essentials by Ellen Release Hop! I’ll be showcasing several of the new stamp sets and dies on my post today!
I used the "I love you more" sentiment and accented it with a heart. Then, I masked the inside of the heart and added the arrow. Once I had my stamping done, I added watercolors with my Gansai Tambi watercolors. This stuff just makes watercoloring so easy!
I had to use this sentiment too. There was no getting around it and I should add that it might never come off my acrylic block. I actually think this is perfect for my son. I stamped the sentiment and crown first and then masked the crown. Then, I cut hills from masking tape and used my Distress inks (Tumbled Glass and Shabby Shutters) to create the perfect hilly background.
Next up, Bold Blooms.
Well, I couldn't stop at one. (And I didn't stop at two either! teeheehee!) So, I stamped and die cut Bold Blooms flowers and leaves again and this time added them to a layer of pattern paper and vellum.
Now be sure to check out the entire new release - all available HERE!
And, yay!!! I also get to give this new stamp set, called Love You So to a lucky someone! Please leave a comment to enter my giveaway!
