Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge - Relax Beautiful

Happy Thursday!

I've been keeping a little secret and now I can tell you!  Today I am a guest designer for the Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge!  I am so honored to be Ellen's guest, because I have loved the Essentials by Ellen line from the beginning!  And here I am sharing some of it with you!

Check out the current Pinterest board which serves as our inspiration today:

The lavenders and pinks just seemed so feminine to me, so I picked up the Spa Day, Mirror Mirror and Make it Beautiful stamps and dies by Brandi Kincaid.

I had to do just a little bit of masking to stamp my two gals the way I envisioned them looking into the mirror.  I used Copic markers to color them in as well as to form the background.  Then I stamped, colored, and die cut the mirror frame.  To make the little bulbs look realistic, I added some Nuvo Jewel Drops to them.

I finished up the card with the sentiment and added great hopes that you would enjoy seeing it!

If you are inspired by my card or the Pinterest board, be sure to play along.  You might just be the randomly selected participant who receives a $50 gift certificate to the Ellen Hutson store.  Come on now - you can't beat that!

Have a terrific Thursday and I'll see you again tomorrow!
