This Is...

Last month, I played along in the Essentials by Ellen Mix It Up challenge with this card... and I won! It's an amazing prize, a $50 gift certificate to the Ellen Hutson store. Now I don't want to seem greedy, but when I had just the right ingredients to play along in the current challenge, how could I resist? This time, we are to combine Technique Tuesday products with Essentials by Ellen stamps and dies. Here's what I made: 

Have to admit, I kind of like this a lot, and I don't often say that about my own creations. :) I combined the adorable bear and his heart from Julie Ebersole's All Inside with dies from Technique Tuesday. The bear is coloured with markers. I channeled my talented friend Steph when I sponged the tag in blue and green. Then I sponged another piece of cardstock that I used to die cut the sentiment. I inset the letters into the white panel. The bear's ears and nose have a little bit of shine from Wink of Stella, while there are several coats on the heart. 

I really hope I'm not the only one that thinks this says "this is love". :D
