Essentials by Ellen February 2019 Release!

 

Happy Friday, Crafters ... It's Release Day at Ellen Hutson! There are a wonderful new group of February stamps and dies by Julie Ebersole for the Essentials by Ellen line. 

One of my favorites (of course!) is the Mondo Gerbera Daisy!

This beautiful new floral is a dream to color but also makes a fabulous impact stamped in just black or colors, without coloring it in!  For this card, I gold heat embossed the daisy onto watercolor paper (cutting off and extending the length of the stem), then watercolored with Daniel Smith's Ultimate Mixing Half Pan Set. The daisy was die cut with its coordinating Mondo Gerbera Daisy die, then popped up on foam tape over a watercolor background I created by lightly washing Daniel Smith Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Genuine (SBT), then splattering with a darker mix of the same (gorgous!) color!  This SBT is also available separately in an individual tube, or in Daniel Smith's Blues Half Pan Set. 

To finish this card, I die cut several layers of Neenah Solar White #110 cardstock using one of the two word dies that is included in the Mondo Gerbera Daisy die set -- isn't that a pretty font?  I then stacked and glued the die cut words together and heat embossed the top later with the same gold super fine embossing powder used on the daisy.

And that's it for this quick & easy greeting card!  Stay warm and enjoy your weekend!
