Welcome to the Blog hop to celebrate the September 2020 Essentials by Ellen release. This month's release features stamps and dies for Fall, Halloween, Christmas, and a fun outer space set.
I'm going to start with my card from the Mondo Oak Leaf Stamp and Die set. I LOVE the Mondo flower sets, so it was no surprise that I loved this latest addition to the Mondo family.
I added color to the leaf using the Faux Watercolor Technique with Copic markers on the backside of vellum. Here's a video tutorial I made a few years ago that features this technique.

For my second contribution to the release hop I'm sharing my "Look at You" card, featuring the new Space Out stamps and dies, along with the beautiful Constellation Background Die. I especially love how great these sets will be to make cards for the little people in my life - I know they'll get a kick out of the little aliens in the sets!
