Ellen Hutson 11th Anniversary Hop


Hello, hello!  Welcome to the Ellen Hutson 11th Anniversary hop!
You should have arrived here from Jessica Frost-Ballas' blog!

For the hop, we all got to play with our favorite Essentials by Ellen set.  Of course, for mine, I had to play with Hearth & Home.  This set was released in the very first Essentials by Ellen release and it's a set that I just keep going back to - especially the dies!


To create my card, I ink blended distress ink onto white cardstock.  Then, I simply die cut my shapes. I love how this creates a soft variation in color across the cuts!  To create my snowy background, I ink splattered with white watercolor on kraft cardstock.  Then, I just heat embossed the chimney smoke and added the sentiment to another die cut.

Your next stop is Emily Leiphart's blog!

Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing part of your day with me.
Have a great day!
