Just Dropping you A Line

Happy Friday!  For my Bellariffic Friday card (BELLARIFFIC0412)  I inked up another one of my new stamps from January's release - Ramona Fishing. 

So first I must say the idea to have the heart outside the panel came from Paulabella when she gave a sneak a peek, she is always inspiring (and some of that inspiration is expensive - like my caran d'ashe pencils!!)

I stamped the image as always onto bella's bestest paper (the only paper I use) with memento tuxedo black ink.  Now maybe it's because I was looking at Paulabella's card when I started making mine, but I stepped outside my copics box and used a mixture of copics as a base then layered pencils for the shading.  Now it's intimidating but it was fun to use the pencils more then usual.  I paper pieced heart longer then the image by cutting it out and then gluing it to the length I wanted.  I also used an atyou spica lipstick on the heart and a clear glaze pen.  The ds paper is MME's dwell.  

Next weeks Bellariffic Fridays (BELLARIFFIC0512) theme is another awesome sketch from Ebruabella!!

Bellariffic Sketch 2

Happy Bellariffic Friday - this is the second sketch of the year; again a big shout out and thank you to Ebruabella for creating all the amazing sketches this year.  I honestly don't know what has gotten into me; I pretty much stuck to the sketch again this week!!

For my card this week I inked up a stamp I don't think I've used yet (shocking I know!!) Abby.

The image is stamped with memento tuxedo black ink onto bella's bestest white paper and coloured with copics then shaded with pencils.  For the cupcake icing I again used brown liquid applique and cinnamon micro fine glitter and a red rhinestone for the cherry on top.  I paper pieced her hat and the balloons from the dp paper MMEs Everyday Flair.

Some Holiday Wishes....

This week we have a new babe in da house!!  Regan has joined us & we are thrilled to have her!

This weeks Bellariffic Fridays was a sketch  to play along with that Ebruabella designed for us, and I must admit I had to take some liberties with this one!  If you stop by regularly you know I'm not a fan of anything tilted so I couldn't make the bottom panel like her sketch.

For my card I decided it was time to get another holiday card done - I inked up Lulu's Ornaments and stamped the image with mementos tuxedo black ink onto bella's bestest cream paper.  I coloured the ornaments with copics, and added used a clear glaze pen and several atyou spica pens on the ornaments.  The ds paper is from echo parks Seasons of Greetings 6x6 paper pack.

Please stop by Bloggabella to see the rest of the babes creations and what the sistah did with the sketch.  Next weeks theme is "Bring on the Stripes" use stripes anywhere on your card and email your card to Em by Thursday to be included next week & you can win some bella bucks!!

It's a Huggabugg Friday!

Happy Friday I hope you are all having a great week.  I'm exhausted; hubby is on vacation this week so we have been golfing up a storm plus I've been taking Pilates & did both in one day; the arms are feeling it!!

This weeks Bellariffic Fridays theme was to ink up those sweet Huggabuggs.  I must confess mine tend to be a little neglected; Em has too many cute images that it's impossible to give them all equal inkin'

I inked up Cuppycake with a Huggabugg on top and stamped the image onto bella's bestest paper and coloured the image with copics.  I added some glitter on the icing and teeny tiny rhinestones for the antennas.  How perfect is the ds paper from MME lime twist?!  As soon as I picked this image I knew what paper I was going to use.

Don't forget to stop by Bloggabella to see the rest of the huggabugg creations and remember if you leave a comment you could win some bella bucks which would be very handy with the spectacular release Em had on Monday!!

Next weeks theme is a sketch that the wonderful Cathabella came up with - I hope you can play along, just email your card to Em by Thursday to be included in the round up next Friday and you could win some bella bucks.

Aquamarine Bellariffic

Happy Friday - this weeks Bellariffic Friday's theme was to use the birthstone colour of March - aquamarine.

For my card I chose one of the sweet Bittyblooms - Poppy Bittybloom.  The image was stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics.  I paper pieced her dress in the ds paper from MME Stella & Rose - hazel collection.  I paper pieced the flower and the flower on her hat and popped them up for dimension.  I found some turquoise thread and stitched around the layers.  I added some primas and rhinestones to finish off my card.

Please stop by Bloggabella to see the rest of the babes creations and what the sistah's came up with.  Next weeks Bellariffic Fridays theme Easter - send your cards to Em by Thursday to be included next week & you could win some bella bucks.

It's a SKETCH Friday

Happy Friday - today for our Bellariffic Friday challenge we had a sketch from our video babe Ebru!

I decided to go back in time (meaning pre-copics) and watercolour my image!! I LOVE Stamping Bella's new image Flower Garden and it is perfect for water colouring. The image is stamped with Stazon onto fabriano hot pressed watercolour paper and coloured with re-inkers. I used 3 colours for reinkers - SU's pink pirouette, riding hood red and always artichoke.  I then sponged around my image with versa magic wheat and added some glitter to the centre of the flowers.  The DS paper is from Pink Paislee called Enchanting.  I had some tiny rhinestones, and again I coloured them with copics to match my paper.  I even decorated the inside of my card (on confetti white paper)  because I love this stamp!!

Please stop by the rest of the babes blogs to see their creations and then Bloggabella to see what the sistah's created.
