Poppies on a Bellariffic Friday

Happy Friday - it's suppose to snow here again tonight - seriously I am SOOOO over winter!!  I think that may have been what made me want flowers on my card today!

For this weeks sketch I inked up LULU loves Poppies.

The image is stamped with memento tuxedo black ink onto bella's bestest cream card stock an coloured with copics.  I added some sparkles on the polka dots with a black atyou spica pen.  In the centre of the flowers I used a clear wink of stella pen.  The DP is Bo Bunny's Serenade Collection.

Dancing...

Happy Good Friday everyone!  Today's Bellariffic Fridays challenge was to ink up a "Senior-ita" image.

I chose Senior-ita Beverly Loves the Rain - maybe partly because I'm hoping for rain instead of snow!

The image is stamped with memento tuxedo black ink onto bella's bestest cream card stock and coloured with copics; some of the shading is done with pencils blended with mineral spirits.

I continued the colours on the inside for the sentiment panel

Sweet Sunday 215

Maybe it was the snow Friday afternoon/ Sat morning (yes snow) that inspired me to ink up a flower image for this weeks SSSC from Karen.

For my card I used Stamping Bella's Em's Lantern Flowers.  They are stamped with versfine black ink onto water colour paper then embossed with clear embossing powder.  I coloured the image with distress markers and a water colour brush.  The dragonfly and butterfly come with the image and are stamped with black ink then shaded using a white, gold and black wink of stella pen.  The dp is Authentique Renew.

Sweet Inspiration

This weeks Bellariffic Fridays challenge was an Inspiration photo which I am really starting to like; when we first had inspiration challenge I found them challenging now I don't try to take too much from the photo

For my card I used Uptown Girl Posh has a Present

And here's the inspiration photo

As you can see I went mainly with the colours in the photo.  The image is stamped with memento tuxedo black ink onto bella's bestest cream card stock and coloured with copics.  I paper pieced her dress and some of the presents (the dp is from my scraps and I have no idea what line it is!)  I paper pieced the one present outside the panel.  The base card stock is embossed with cuttlebugs charles embossing folder.  I added some tiny rhinestones on the one parcel and some buttons in the colours in the photo

Please stop by Bloggabella to see the rest of the babes and sistah's creations.  Next week's challenge is a sketch - simply ink up a current stamping bella image and email your card to Em by Thursday to be included on Bloggabella and you could win the monthly prize

Sweet Sunday 213

I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend - we are still in the March in like a lion phase; more snow in the forecast BUT there is a wee bit of sunshine later in the week; come on spring!!

Karen has a fun sketch for us this week (SSSC213) - it's a skinny card (3.5x5.5)

For my card I inked up one of Stamping Bella's new images - Snookums

Isn't he cute?!  The image is stamped on bella's bestest cream card stock and coloured with copics.  The dp is EP's All About a Boy.  I added two pumpkin coloured brads to finish of the front

I used the base piece of dp on the inside and stamped the sentiment that comes with Snookums - what a fabulous sentiment!
