Folk Heart Die Again (Ellen Hutson Mix It Up Challenge #2)


I was inspired to make this card after I saw Julie Ebersole make this one on the Ellen Hutson classroom blog.  Gorgeous isn't it?


 
Isn't stamping fun?  I make a bunch of junk all the time, and toss it, but every once in a while it comes together.  When it does, it makes it worth the money and time.

Stamped the Penny Black All You Need heart image on watercolor paper.  Used Ranger Archival Black, then Versamark, and then clear embossing powder.  Die cut the watercolored panel with this awesome Essentials by Ellen Folk Heart die designed by Julie Ebersole.

Masked the card by making a frame and speckled black ink into the middle of the frame, and then adhered the heart.



Because I used an Essentials by Ellen product (the die) and a My Favorite Things Product (a sentiment from Pretty Poppies), I'm entering this in the Essentials by Ellen January Mix it Up challenge.

MOOD WHEN DONE = Happy!
