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:

ELC Look On the Bright Side Kit

Hi friends,  Erin Lee Creative has a fantastic new kit today which coordinates with the previously-released Somewhere Kit .  It's called Look On the Bright Side , and it has a die, stencil and stamp sets with the most perfect sentiments for encouragement cards.  There is also a rainbow alphabet set available as an add-on.   Join us in our blog hop today and comment to enter for a giveaway (see below). Isn't this a great kit? My first card uses the rainbow burst stencil.  I pounced white ink through the stencil, then I used Polychromos pencils to color over the white ink.  This technique allows the color to stand out on dark cardstock.  Of course I had to add a little shine and glitter, so I colored over parts of the rainbow and rays with a shimmer pen. My next two cards were inspired by a T-shirt ad I came across, and I loved the ombré of skin tones.  I really believe that good things are coming, and I absolutely believe that we rise by lift...
