Erin Lee Creative August Release & Blog Hop (With Prizes!)

Welcome! You should have arrived from Jennifer's Blog. If not, no worries - the complete blog hop list is below and you can visit everyone to better your chance for prizes. Now, let me just tell you there are SO MANY awesome products being released today that I have NO idea how you will decide on what to buy! I mean look at all this goodness! 

Seeing all that it was hard deciding what to make. I ended up using just one stamp set and three different stencils to make 3 cards. Below is the stamp set Fall Critters 4x6 Stamp Set.

These are the 3 stencils I used: Plaid (released last month), Funhouse Squares & Floral Wreath

Here's a quick look at the three cards. It was brought to my attention that it looks like I made a Fall, Winter and Spring card using all of the animals. Total accident on my part but a happy accident at that! 

 

For the squirrel card I used distress inks on the background and Copics to color him. 

For the Fox I again used Distress Inks for the backgound and copics for coloring. I fussy cut the fox out and popped her up to give her some dimension. 

And for the last card I used watercolors on everything. I then colored in the rabbit using my pixie dust glitter so she shines beautifully. 

I don't know which one is my favorite. I love them all! And I love that one stamp set and 3 stencils can make all that. The possibilites are endless!

Blog Hop for the New Release from Erin Lee Creative plus PRIZES!!!

Hi and welcome to the Erin Lee Creative (ELC) Blog Hop! You should be arriving from Cheryl's blog. If not, be sure to check the blog hop along the way in order to be eligible for the prizes. 
First up check out the release:

So many awesome new goodies. I honestly had trouble deciding which one to use for the blog hop. I have been a lover of all things succulent for years - mostly cause it's the one plant I can't kill. So when I received the succulent set and dies I was over the moon excited. 

This card is simple but has a wow factor and although it looks like it took some time it came together rather quickly. And if you use your stamping platform you can really whip out a lot of the succulents and leaves quickly. 

I did a google search of succulents, just to get an idea of the different color combinations I wanted to use. I used multiple greens, mint, yellow and reds to make these. 

Blended the background, splattered some metallic gold and white and there you have it. A simple card with a WOW factor :)

I'm proud to say that I have been chosen to be a part of ELC design team along with these other 5 beautiful ladies. Each one of them brings a unique take on ELC's products. I honestly am just as excited as you to do the blog hop and see their wonderful creations.
