Hello Everyone,
Joni here, Guest Designing at Ellen Hutson using their new release Thankful stamp set and its Thankful Coordinating die set alongside with the new release from Wplus9 Wishing You stamp set and Wishing You Coordinating die set.
To begin, I brushed each of the Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers on the acrylic block. It’s easier for me to blend the colors when it’s laid out on the block; you can also brush the colors on your heat mat or non-stick craft sheet if you prefer.
Then I colored the stamped images from the Thankful stamp set and Wishing You stamp set, and then die-cut each image using their coordinating die sets.
For the background, I first wet the watercolor paper then laid the light blue color from the 12 pack Zig Clean Color Real Brush set and let it dry.
Next, I
- adhered all the die-cut images using the Multi Medium Matte on the watercolored paper,
- then cut the excess paper on the sides of the panel and adhered it on the white card base with foam tape to add dimension.

Next, I stamped the sentiment from the Thankful stamp set using the Wplus9 PURE Color dye ink in Warm Wool.
Then, I added some watercolor splatter after brushing the Zig Clear Color Real Brush on the acrylic block (adding some water and using a separate watercolor brush to splatter on the top panel).
I also added some Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins to finish off the card.
I hope you enjoyed, Thank you so much for stopping by.
Joni
