Take Two....

So I spent Saturday afternoon working on a card with the intention of posting it ASAP.  I was happy to be in my stamp room since the weather outside was crappy (snowing horizontally because of the winds) and hubby was away so made myself  a cup of tea and started colouring  - it was a perfect afternoon UNTIL....  I went to add an embellishment to my card (product shall remain nameless since it no longer has a place here) and squeezed the tube, nothing.  Squeezed a little harder and wham the entire top came off - I had the stuff EVERYWHERE!!!  Those of you who know me know I had a wee tantrum - threw out the image &  the produce & said that's it not colouring it again.  Well later on after watching a movie I came back and decided the paper was picked out, the markers were still on my desk lets give it another whirl....

I stamped Kissy by Mo Manning from Stamping Bella onto  bella's bestest paper and coloured her with copics.  For the shading I used prisma pencils (those recommended by Paula & Linda- when they speak I listen!!)  I added some glamour dust glitter on her skirt and for the the flowers I used some mermaid stickles.  In the centre of the large flowers I used some black enamel accents.  The ds paper is basic greys Kioshi and I used this weeks Sweet Stop sketch (SSS90)

Don't forget this weeks Bellariffic Fridays challenge is a sketch - email your cards to Em by Thursday to be included and you could win Bella Bucks!!

Thanks for stopping by - have a great Sunday

Reindeer wishes

I'm back today with another holiday card.  I can tell you my Bellariffic card may be a gift card holder or gift BUT it's not a Christmas image (at least I think it's not made yet!!)

I flipped through my bella bindahs and came across reindeer circle and inked it up.  The image is stamped onto bella's bestest paper with mementos ink.  The face is coloured with pencils (I LOVE my new caran d'ashe pencils - thanks Paula & Linda!!) the rest of the image is coloured with copics.  On the star I used a purple atyou spica pen, and a red lipstick pen on the holly.  I used a Sweet Stop sketch (SSS84) and the ds paper is fancy pants arctic chill from my stash.  I added some glitter for snow above his head.

This weeks bellariffic fridays challenge is to make a gift or gift card holder - email Em your entries by Thursday to be included!!

Have a fantastic day

Sweet Wishes

This weeks Sweet Stop Sketch was with a spin - use a tag!  I decided to make a Christmas card since I haven't been making them weekly as I hoped; and I even stuck to my plan of making 2 whenever I do make them!

I inked up Candy jar with Holly from Stamping Bella onto bella's bestest paper and coloured the image with copics.  I used a gelly roller pen to add some sparkle to the mints then coloured the entire jar with a clear glaze pen to make it look like glass.  For my take I used the second sentiment that comes with the stamp.  The ds paper is from WeR Memory Keepers called Merry & Bright.

Celebrate

Happy Saturday it's time for another Sweet Stop Sketch!  I needed a retirement card for one of my hubby's co-workers.  Actually we both worked with her (since we met at work) and she is one of the sweetest people in the world!  Since being back in Calgary she & I have gotten into the routine of having lunch & now that she's retired (and I like to say I am too) we won't be on the "clock" when we get together!

I had this idea rumbling in my head & was happy with how it turned out (don't you love it when it works out how you imagined?!) For this weeks sketch (SSS62) I used Stamping Bella's "celebrate" definition.  The definition is stamped with mementos ink onto SU's pink pirouette paper.  The flower is a nesties flower made with My Minds Eye quite contrary paper and I added a button.

The scallop along the bottom is a new purchase - Tim Holtz Alterations.  It's  fantastic die that has 2 shapes you can layer, I didn't want my sentiment on a scallop so I just used the one but I have to warn you its not a straight line & the holes aren't even which is hard for me - I struggled with bonbons not being in a perfectly straight row (and I tried to fudge them to make it as straight as possible)

Have a great day
