It's release week for some more fabulous new Essentials by Ellen products! Are you loving the Leading Ladies as much as I am?!! Well, you are in luck because there is another wonderful new one added to the family this month ... Meet the Cozy Lady!
She was SO much fun to color! I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto X-Press It Blending Card, then used her coordinating die to die cut her. I used these Copic Sketch Markers to color her to match the hues in this wonderful new Reverse Confetti Every Little Bit patterned paper:
The sentiment piece is another pattern of the RC Every Little Bit paper, die cut with Taylored Expressions Stitched Essentials banner. I love all the different items included in this stamp set that the Cozy Lady can carry in/on her arm, and that the die automatically cuts out her arm to carry them ... so clever! I opted for the cup of tea, to coordinate with the "friends are the spice of life" sentiment I chose.
To create the basket of leaves accent, I used some fun new X-Press It Cork Deco Tape. I just applied the tape (it has an easy-to-peel adhesive backing) to scrap cardstock, stamped the basket image on it using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then die cut it ... how fun is that?!! The tape is a natural cork and very thin, so it die cuts easily and makes great accents for any project, without adding too much bulk or weight:
Then I just cut out some of the patterned paper leaves and tucked them inside the basket and popped it up on X-Press It Foam Tape:
How would you use this fun, new Cork Tape or Cozy Lady? I'd love to hear your ideas!
