Ellen Hutson Release Blog Hop
Hello friends! Welcome to today's Summer of Stamping hop for Ellen Hutson! Today we have some gorgeous sets to share with you and I know you'll fall for them just as much as I have. These sets are perfect for any occasion, especially just a Summer hello which I know I'll be sending lots of! Let's jump right into my project!
Today I'm focusing on the beautiful Mondo Pansies stamp set. We all LOVE a good Mondo floral image and this one is so fun to play around with color! I love that Pansies come is so many colors within the same flower and I wanted to show that in my no line watercolored image. I chose a really beautiful purple shade from the Altenew 24 Artist watercolor set and chose to add a little pop of color with the bright yellow center petal.
I am often at a loss when it comes to flower centers. This was admittedly a bit of a cop out for me here. I know that Pansies often have black centers, so I decided to color the entire center black. Looking back, this could have been done more gracefully, but I don't hate it. It definitely gives a more loosely watercolored look than I am used to, but I think it still gets the point across.

For my sentiment, I used one of the sub sentiments from the Thank You For Being A Friend set. I love that it can be used with the main sentiment or on it's own like I used it here.
