I've been a huge fan of Julie Ebersole for many years. Her Hello Monday videos for Ellen Hutson are hands down my favorite papercrafting videos. Professional, useful tips, and a dynamite project -- her videos are fabulous. Plus her personality shines through.
I'm thrilled to see her working in the industry. Hugely deserved.
Every card she makes has a light and airy feel that I would LOVE to be able to emulate. I don't think of Julie as the Queen of Clear and Simple. Rather, Julie is the Queen.
The hardest part of ReDesigning a Julie creation was to select one, since I love everything she makes. So I decided to just go with the last thing she made at the time I was looking, which was this Flower Gard card for Hero Arts.
Here is Julie's card, with mine, ReDesigned without spending a dime. Thanks, Julie, for letting me post a copy of your card.
I encourage you to check out Julie's card on the Hero Arts blog (link above), where she's done a great video on how to make it. Watch her cover the frame with glossy accents -- smooth as butter. I cannot do that, so mine is lumpy...and this isn't the first one I made.
Wish I had some small solid flowers with stems, because the flowers with stems in different directions provide the illusion that the flowers are falling down the card. But, I didn't, so I went with what I had -- that's the whole idea! I also switched up the color palette 'cause I'm in a bright mood.
MOOD WHEN DONE = Happy!
Supplies:
Stamps: Impression Obsession Hydrangea and PTI Mini Blooms
Paper: Neenah Solar
Ink: Hero Arts Tomato, Butter Bar and Green Hills (they bleed through on Neenah)
Other: Silhouette (to make frame), Copics -- red and black -- to color the paper, Glossy Accents, rhinestones, adhesive, paper trimmer
What a delightful tribute to Julie. She's amazing, and so are you!
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate this series and seeing the amazing results you have achieved with what you already have. Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove your redesign of Julie's card! I agree, Julie is da bomb. You are pretty special yourself, Joan!
ReplyDeleteNice work!
ReplyDeleteI love your new ReDesign on a Dime feature; it is a great idea and we get bonus inspiration. Your card is just as delightful as Julie's.
ReplyDeleteFabulous card, and I love the name of your new series. Your card is just as pretty as Julie's.
ReplyDeleteJulie was the original clean and simple gal. I have always loved her work, but could never seem to pull off the style. You, however, have mastered it. I like the idea that you're working with what you have. Limited supplies are sounding better and better...
