So Cool and the new Essentials By Ellen Release

2 Aug

Happy Monday!  I hope you’ve been enjoying the Summer of Stamping over at Ellen Hutson!  Today we have one more Essentials by Ellen release followed by a week of inspiration to wrap up the Summer of Stamping!  I’m using the fun Stay Cool set to create a graphic and modern design (with a little sparkle, of course)!

Stay Cool by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Ellen Hutson

I love all the abstract shapes in the Stay Cool set and how they can be combined to create a variety of designs!  I decided to create a simple ocean sunset by stamping the lines with Cummerbund and Fiesta Blue ink and the sun with Limoncello and Tiki Torch ink.  Then I ink blended a second panel with Cummerbund and Fiesta Blue ink and a third panel with Limoncello and Tiki Torch ink and set them aside to dry.  I also added a sentiment stamped with Cummerbund ink.

Once the panels were dry I stamped the aqua panel with versamark and heat-embossed it with Hero Arts clear sparkle embossing powder.  I die-cut the yellow panel with the new Yasss die and added a little more Tiki Torch ink to the bottom.  I used the Rectangle Frame dies from Ellen Hutson to die-cut my panels and then adhered them to a top folding white card base.  To finish the card I added spectrum noir clear sparkle to the sun and then added a little nuvo crystal glaze to the bottom and sprinkled it with chunky and prisma glitter!  It’s blinding when it catches the light!!
