After a little swatch-ing of my own, I found the perfect Copic colors to match those Pantone ones! Starting at the top: BG72, YG93, BV23, BV31, RV93 [skip the next, as I have nothing close] then BV02, and BV04!
I had a few new Essentials by Ellen products that were so happy to play cards today! My Celebration Leading Lady, borrowed a brush from the Crafty Lady, and painted those colors in reverse order, for my card! The new Strands die provided the perfect palette, and shapes similar to those gorgeous pea pods!
and just because I love to use every snippet:
Up the Happy provided the perfect balloons, and Sock Monkey the words!
See if you can find the white dot inspiration in the photo =]
I hope you have been inspired to play along ... a random challenge participant will receive a $50 gift certificate to the Ellen Hutson store. To be eligible, you MUST use Essentials by Ellen products and the photo badge as inspiration - so simple, right?

How fabulous are these cards. I love that you worked out how to make a card from the left over bits from the first card that is a masterpiece in its own right then another masterpiece appears. You are so clever my friend.
Awesome all around, Michele. Oh golly, the colors in the first card are wonderful. I adore the colors in the wavy lines. And can I say, your leading lady looks amazing with gray hair! Love the sentiment, too. On the second card, what a festive birthday card. I love how you used the die pieces for the balloon strings!! Hugs!

Your Celebration Lady is spot on, Michele ... thumbs up indeed ... for both cards! Clever, innovative, fun ... they're brilliant ... love how you added the white on white dots from the inspiration to the balloon ... awesome detailing! Hugs, Anita :)
