Golf Anyone?!

This weeks Bellariffic Fridays theme was to make a masculine card in honour of Father's Day this month.  For my card I inked up a Mo Manning image -  the Big Guy Golfing

The image is stamped with memento ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics.  For the grass I used pencils (kelp & grass green) and I added some shading around him.  Being a masculine card I kept the embellishments to a limit - liquid applique for the golf ball and a clear glaze pen for the golf club and finally some stitching around the layers.

Next weeks Bellariffic's Fridays theme is Paper Piecing (one of my very favourite things!!)  Email your cards to Em by Thursday to be included in the round up.

Have a great weekend!!

Giftabella...

Happy Friday!!!  Today's challenge over at Bloggabella was to make a gift card holder of a gift - I went with the holder BUT it's not Christmas themed (shocking I know!!)

I immediately knew I wanted to make a gift card holder for Starbucks gift cards because I LOVE giving them & getting them.  I register all my gift cards & Calgary is the only place in Canada where you can earn reward points - I worked very hard to get my personal gold card & now I must work at keeping it; it's a tough job!!

I stamped Chloe the Coffee Mug girl onto bella's bestest paper and coloured her with copics.  On her hair band I used a pitch black atyou spica pen and on the coffee cups polka dots I added some black glitter.  I then cute the image out and mounted it onto My Minds Eye Fine & Dandy tickled pink paper.  I mounted it all onto an Altoids tin and along the edge of the tin I used co-ordinating ribbon from My Minds Eye.  I added some card stock & some more of the designer paper to the inside of the tin.

Make sure you stop by Bloggabella to see the rest of the Gift ideas and in case you missed it Em snuck in a surprise release on Wednesday; three new BELLA'S!!  They are fantastic!!

Next weeks challenge is our last one for 2010 (can you believe the year is almost over?!)  We have a fabulous sketch that Paulineabella created for you - email you cards to Em by Thursday to be included next week!!

Bellariffic Sketch Revisited....

Happy Friday!  As you know last week Em was swamped with the Creativ Festival in Toronto, and a little under the weather so she wasn't able to post the cards for the sketch Elaineabella had created.  In order to see everyone's amazing creations we decided to re-visit the sketch this week!!

I needed a baby card, and I never have those on hand so I used the sketch for my starting point and the card came together super quick (love it when that happens!)  For my baby card I reached Julia's diaper bag from Stamping Bella.  The image is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics.  I paper pieced the name tag on the bag and wrote sweet Avery's name with an atyou spica pen.  On the baby bottles I used a clear glaze pen to make them look like glass bottles.  The ds paper is from Imaginisce; baby powder line.  I stitched around the ds paper and added some pink rhinestones in the corners.

Make sure you pop by Bloggabella to see the rest of the babes & sistah's creations with the sketch.   NEXT WEEKS theme is 1, 2, 3 - 1 image, 2 patterned papers, 3 embellishments.  Email your cards to Em by Thursday to be included- you could win Bella bucks!!
