Swirly Birthday

    

 I came across this monthly inspirational challenge based

 on a Pinterest-inspired photo that is located 

on the Ellen Hutson Classroom Blog.

A random challenge participant will receive a

 $50 gift certificate 

to the Ellen Hutson store.  

To be eligible for a shot at the prize, 

you MUST use Essentials by Ellen products 

and the photo badge as inspiration. 

 

and here's the inspiration board:

 

I loved the colors and for some reason it all registered as swirls of color.

So here's what I came up with:

 

I hand cut a swirl design stencil from acrylic 

and then used distress inks in all the pretty colors to sponge in the swirls.

I used the Essentials by Ellen stamp set called All Inside by Julie.

 

  Colored the bear with Copics 

(E50,E53, E55, R20)

Tucked in a party hat...I just love the way he can hold things!

Thanks for stopping by. 

'till next time,
