This month's featured friend is Ellen Hutson! Ellen is an amazing woman, and a dear, dear friend. I always tell her she has a podcast voice - I love hearing her talk and laugh.
I was thrilled when she hired Julie Ebersole - it was like peanut butter and chocolate finally got together!
Julie's CAS style changed cardmaking, in my opinion. No one was doing what she was doing back in the day, and she's influenced much of what we see in the design world, in my humble opinion.
I love that her design style is translated so beautifully in her stamp designs. You may not know this, but I was in the lighting industry for nearly 20 years. So I have a thing for light bulb stamps, and Julie's light bulb set makes me so happy. It's cute and simple in her style and has great sentiments. There are dies you can cut each bulb out with. All I had to do was make the middle one glow with some Wild Dandelion ink and Life Changing Blender Brushes.

This card is perfect, Lydia! I love Julie's stamps and design style. I want to be a combination of the two of you when I grow up!
ReplyDeleteFun card, Lydia! I had no idea you were in the lighting industry for 20 years!

ReplyDeleteSigh...that lightbulb stamp and die set lived in my cart for a while when I was placing my last order. Now I know I made a mistake when I took them out.
