Hello everyone
and welcome to the Ellen Hutson birthday blog hop week as we celebrate
their 11th anniversary! I’m so excited and honored to join the fun
today! You should have arrive here from Sharon Harnist’s blog and will head to LauraJane Head‘s blog
once you leave here.
To celebrate
this anniversary, I created a card using one of my favorite set from Elle
Hutson. It’s the Otterly Awesome set by Julie Ebersole. The otters
are SOOOO SWEET! Here is what I came up with:
I went for a
clean and simple design. I started by creating a watercolor background using Distress inks
and left it dry completely. Once it was dry, I cut around the rainbow
watercolor splatter and adhered it to the front of a top-folded white card base
with foam adhesive.
I stamped the sentiment the Otterly Awesome set in black ink. I stamped the otters, colored them,
cut them and attached them with foam pads to the rainbow background using foam
pads too. To finish off the card, I added some enamel dots.
This is the FA-BU-LOUS
Otterly Awesome set I used:
