I'd love to win an Ellen Hutson gift certificate so had to make a card for the September Mix It Up Challenge with Impression Obsession. My only EH product right now is Bold Blossom Stand Alone Dies.  My friend Rosemary's card is a masterpiece & she gave me the idea to use my dies to make stencils--although she ended up using her die cut as a stamp.  I simply held the die cuts while I brushed them with Gelatos Lavender or Pistachio mixed with water.  Since it's kind of an artsy look, I didn't worry about going outside the lines.  I splattered a bit of the lavender & I love the resulting panel!  The IO sentiment is stamped in Memento Gray Flannel & the cardstock is matted with vellum.  I layered lace & ribbon under the sentiment panel which is mounted with foam tape. 
The small blossom & leaf die cuts were watercolored with the same Gelatos & then covered with MFT Glitter Glaze.  Finished off with 3 white sequins.  I used the Mojo Monday sketch--inspired by seeing how DT member, Teresa used the sketch without copying it. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday, Use a Stamp. Thanks so much for stopping by.
