I'm super excited to be hopping with the Ellen Hutson Design Ambassadors - there are SO many wonderful new March Release products in the Shop today … we each have chosen our favorites to play with, so be sure to stop by for a visit at each stop - by the way, there are prizes* to be had if you do!
My choices took me where my heart would be happiest... a wonderful new addition to the Mondo collection to color any way my heart desires, and a FUN pun-y little pup called Clever Sausage - of course he's a Wiener dog! Let's start with him, before he gets blown away...
Please drop by my Instagram feed @mfergu01 to see him in action!
He was stamped with Black Licorice ink onto Neenah Desert Storm cardstock, Copic colored, and cut with his coordinating dies, but our EBE Swing n Slide die provides the skateboard action part... and
EBE's Abstract Paint Strokes for the pfffffts of the deflating balloon which cause the lateness of his birthday wishes-
could it be more fun?! It's also a fun 3.5" x 8.5" size!
Ok. I suppose I'd better get a bit serious for a moment … there's a gorgeous new Mondo!
is fun to color in so many ways. Today, I added simple water coloring with Distress inks [Vintage photo, Rusty Hinge, Tattered Rose, Tea Dye, and Pumice Stone, to be exact] on my Neenah card base. Succulent Sentiments
has some seriously wonderful words for many occasions.
Our High Five quote bubble die can indicate
there's more to come... on the inside...
Okay, it's time to hop along - thanks tons for stopping here today! =] Michele
Wow, I love all of your cards. You are so creative Michele. Thank you for the inspirations.
ReplyDeleteSuch innovative cards, Michele! Love the first one and the colors of the second one are really great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun slider card, Michele! The dog with deflating balloon is perfect for a belated birthday card. Thinking of using the paint brush stroke for the pffffts is so clever.
ReplyDeleteLove the muted color combo of the succulents card! I'll definitely go and shop the new release. :-)

ReplyDeleteOK, your little weenie dog has stolen my heart Michele...reminds me of my grand-doggies Beamer & Royce who are miniature Dachsunds and have eyes so dark you can lose yourself in them!! They are also two of the naughty-est little doggies around, so it's a good thing they're so cute!! But anyway, your skate boarding little guy is just too cute too and I'm loving the interactive part of this card!! And of course you've got me on the cactus card too...SOOOOO pretty and just beautiful water coloring my friend!! You've done Ellen so proud!! :0)

Wow Michele, you always blow me away, but these two cards really blow me away! I love the "Clever Sausage" stamp set and your card from it.
