Erin Lee Creative March Release Blog Hop

Hello, friends!  Welcome to the Erin Lee Creative Blog Hop!  Hopefully you've come here from Erin's blog.  I'm excited to share a few of the cards I've made with the new release from Erin Lee Creative.  (Psst...There is a fantastic sale going on, too!  40% off everything but the new release!)

We are giving away $25 gift certificates to three lucky winners chosen from comments left across all of the blogs participating in this hop.  Please leave a comment on any participating blog (scroll down for the whole list) by Friday, March 29, 2019.  The winners will be announced the following week in the Erin Lee Creative Blog.  The more you comment, the more chances to win!

What I love most about this new company is the wide variety of images, fonts and styles available.  There is really something for everyone!  

First up we have Floral Peacock.  I love that it begs the use of bright colors.  I used a combination of coloring with Copic markers and painting with an ink pad (because I did not yet have a peacock blue marker).  I colored over the feathers with a clear glitter brush pen--one of my favorite tools.  The sentiment is heat embossed and is from Hummingbird Love (see below).


Here's a closeup of the glitter:


 

In keeping with the peacock theme, here is a more abstract version.  The Peacock Background stamp is really unique and packs a punch.  The sentiment is from Incredible India (a must have--and it's 40% off right now!).


Again I colored it with Copics (I finally got that peacock blue marker) and then a glitter marker.  The panels are popped up on craft foam to set off the sentiment.



Finally we have Hummingbird Love.  We have a family friend who is an incredible photographer.  He takes the most amazing pictures of birds, and his hummingbirds are absolutely stunning.  I had him in mind when I was making cards with this set.  I stamped the images in gray, then used Polychromos colored pencils to fill them in. 




That's it for me today, but keep an eye on my blog and Instagram @cherylcards for more.  I just couldn't stop.  Next up in the blog hop is Jenny!  Don't forget to leave comments for a chance to win a gift certificate!   Here is the list of all the ladies in the hop:

Erin Lee Creative January Release

 Hi friends! Today we are hopping to show off the newest release from Erin Lee Creative .  Once again there is a host of unique stamps, dies and stencils, as well as some amazing rainbow holographic cardstock. *PRIZES* Be sure to comment on the blog entries in the hop so you can enter to win a $50 voucher to use in the ELC shop .  There will be two winners chosen at random from the comments. On to the projects: For my first card, I wanted to showcase this big and bold sentiment from the new Stay Golden  stamp set.   One of my favorite techniques is coloring with Copic markers over the top of white heat embossing.  It is a great way to make colors pop on dark cardstock.    Doesn't this stamp just beg for vibrant colors? So fun. The next card uses the new Nesting Stars die set, a sentiment from the Stripe Sentiments stamp set (previously released), and some ink blending with the Retro Swirl stencil  (also previously released).  I love how so many products can be used together.   And

February Blog Hop

For this month's Hop, we are to pay homage to a member of PTI's Design Team. They are all so very talented! I chose a recent project by the amazing Debbie Olson . I loved her simple design with white embossed violets on Raspberry Fizz, with a few little details sprinkled in--sparkly centers, a scored edge and rounded corners. Just beautiful! I actually copied this card exactly, because it was so easy, but then I decided to change it up a bit. Here is my version in Enchanted Evening, with the smaller flowers. I didn't have the right color buttons, so I made a little fancy ribbon edge. The sparkles are flat rhinestone stickers. Best $1.99 I've spent in a while! Thanks for the inspiration, Debbie! Paper: PTI White, Enchanted Evening Ink: PTI Enchanted Evening, Versamark Stamps: PTI Year of Flowers: Violets Other: Filigree White Embossing Powder, PTI EE twill ribbon, flat rhinestone stickers, corner rounder

May WMS Blog Waltz

This month's WMS Blog Waltz challenge is to make a birthday card. I have no trouble making cards for girls, but sometimes boy cards elude me. I absolutely LOVE this paper airplane from Free Spirit-Boy , and I think it's perfect for a simple, masculine birthday card. (Inside the card it says, "happy birthday".) Enjoy!
