Ellen Hutson‘s Fall + Halloween Essentials by Ellen Release is available NOW and the Brand Ambassadors are celebrating with an Instagram Hop to bring you inspiration using these fabulous new products! While appreciated, comments left here are not eligible for one of three $25 gift certificates. Please head to Instagram for all the details!
For this release hop, I combined several of the new products as I love to do. I created a custom sentiment and ended up with a Halloween thank you card. How’s that for something different? š
I started by stamping all of my images from both Pumpkin Season and Halloween Boo-quet with Gina K Obsidian Amalgam ink. I used Copic markers to lightly shade the kitty and broom handle.
Instead of ink blending a base or anchor for my scene, I decided to use an infinity shaker and mix two different sequin packs to make it extra fun! For the top panel, I used the A2 Piercing Panel 2. Just like the original piercing panel, this one will be used often.
Pumpkin Season can either be coloured with your favourite medium or it can be stamped with smooth inks. I used a combination of colours from Concord & 9th (Ballet Slipper and Grapefruit) and Catherine Pooler (It’s a Girl, Coral Cabana, Pink Champagne and Rose Petals). The sentiment was ombre stamped with It’s a Girl and Pink Champagne.
To create the secondary sentiment, I heat embossed two phrases from Tag It-Halloween on vellum. Then I used one of the Farmhouse Tags and used the fishtail end to partially die cut it twice so the fishtail appears on both ends, creating a small banner.
Most of the elements were adhered flat to the card with glue dots but a few were popped up on foam tape for added dimension and visual interest.

So beautiful and I love the colors!
For once I feel like a newbie againā¦.. how the heck do you make an infinity shaker? I clicked on the link and found a pocket, but that doesnāt tell me muchā¦. Do you have a video where I could see it assembled?! And those pinwheel, where did you get them from? Paired with the pink stars they are just so cool!!!! Finally, how did you manage the ombrĆ© effect with the two inks? Did you stamped one first and the other one on half the sentiment or did you do a half and half inking and one stamping?! This card is right up my alley. It makes me want to go and create and buy all the things you used! Especially all the smooth inks!! š for a third timeā¦. Good job!!!!! Well done!
love love those colors
just so cute
