Hello!! Popping in with my card for the current Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights challenge, as well as the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge. Last week Ellen Hutson had a sale on all stamps on the website so I took advantage of the sale and purchased the Essentials by Ellen Mondo Peony. I don't live too far from where Ellen Hutson is located and since they give you the option of picking up locally I decided that I would use that option. So Monday morning I head up north to Issaquah, Washington and saw the place where everything happens at Ellen Hutson! And the other day I got the chance to use one of those gorgeous peony images from Mondo Peony! I stamped it in VersaFine Smoky Gray and then colored it with a light blue ZIG clean color marker. I added a shadow around the bottom of the flower using ZIG markers in two shades of gray. Once the image was completely dry I trimmed it down and adhered it to my card base. The sentiment (from the Essentials by Ellen Lovely stamp set) was stamped on a strip of white cardstock and then some silver glitter cardstock was added. I added a few loops of silver thread to the panel and adhered it down with the sentiment strip. Simple, but I love how it turned out! 
Hope you have a wonderful day...
Supplies: Cardstock: SSS fog, Ranger watercolor, white, silver glitter; Stamps: Essentials by Ellen; Coates & Clark silver thread; ZIG clean color markers

Beautiful blue flower - love how you've kept the background so neutral to let the flower shine! The hint of glitter is a great touch. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
