Essentials by Ellen April Release - FLAWESOME!

scroll down for my MFT & Friends post


Whoever paired the latest Essentials by Ellen Hot Mess Lady with the Everyday Hero Lady is a GENIUS! Seriously - these two ladies really speak to me. I know many of us have days where feel like we are a 'hot mess' when others see us being an 'everyday hero' by doing all the things we do for all the people around us! I love that these ladies celebrate the duality-reality of life in this way!

I knew right away I had to make a card with both of them. These ladies are both the perfect size to fill a card front on their own, so I had to be creative with my layout.

I stamped Hot Mess off to the side, keeping the dreamy-looking chin-in-hand side of her. Then I coloured her with Copics and used the matching die to cut a mask for her. I used a large circle die to cut another mask and blended blue Distress Ink over the remainder of the panel, fading to white at the top.

On a scrap piece of white, I stamped Everyday Hero and coloured her. I cut her out with her matching die, and then used the same large circle to crop her to fit inside the dream-bubble.

In the dream-bubble itself, I used the 'burst' die to create a stencil and blended yellow ink for some colour and interest in the background. I popped her up on the panel and then added some sparkle to her crown with Wink of Stella and a small Pretty Pink Posh Confetti sequin.

I kept elements (hair and shirt colours) the same so that you know it's the same lady in both her forms.
