New Rubbah in Da House

I hope everyone had a great weekend - mine was good because my new rubbah from Stamping Bella arrived Friday afternoon!! 

I decided to ink up Little Birdie Jane first (and funny enough so did Paulineabella!!).  

I stamped the image onto bella's bestest cream paper with mementos tuxedo black ink and coloured her with copics.  The shading around the image and on the ground is done with pencils.  Now when I saw this new image I imagined her dress paper pieced so I had to do it! The dp is Lilybeedesigns Happily Lost.  The sentiment comes with the stamp.  I added some rhinestones along the ribbon.

You still have time to play along with this weeks Bellariffic Friday - Love/Valentines or use pink, red and white on your card.  Email your card to Em by Thursday to be included in Bellariffic Fridays on Bloggabella and had a chance to win bella bucks. You can add your card on SCS using the key word BELLARIFFIC0412 and you can win a 20.00 gift voucher!!

Thanks for stopping!!

Snowboard Boy

Happy Sunday we're back today with a Sweet Sunday Sketch (SSSC151).  Karen has  a great sketch for us & I stuck pretty true to the sketch (weird right?!)

For my card I inked up MFT's PI Snowboard Boy. 

The image is stamped with memento tuxedo  black ink coloured with copics and paper pieced with MME's Lime Twist Out of the Blue.  I did some soft blue shading around the image with pencils and gamsol and added some glitter for snow.  Instead of a banner I used MFT's die-namics Icicle Border and added a ghost snowflake and button.  On the snowboard I used a clear glaze pen to give it some shine.

Please stop by the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers blogs to see their creations and remember you have 2 weeks to link your card on Karen's blog.

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.

Roses Among Us

Today I have a card I made using on of Stamping Bella's solid images - A Rose Among Us

The images is coloured with markers (real red, cameo coral,  celery & always artichoke) then sprayed with water, then stamped on water colour paper.  Once the image dried I added a little bit of glitter to the centre of the flowers.  I kept the card clean and simple since it was needed as a sympathy card.

This weeks Bellariffic Fridays theme is another sketch!!  Email your cards to Em by Thursday to be included on Bloggabella and remember to add your card to the gallery on SCS to have another chance of winning a gift voucher

Birthday Girl

Happy Sunday - I must admit I am a little bit of a loss not having the Sweet Sunday Sketch to play along with each week so instead I played along with this weeks MFTWSC55

For my card I inked up MFT's a la mode Birthday Girl.  The image is stamped with memento tuxedo black ink onto bella's bestest cream paper and coloured with copics.  I paper pieced the cupcake wrap with the dp paper MME's Quite Contrary Jack & Jill.  For the cupcake icing I used brown liquid applique and added some cinnamon micro fine glitter.  For her jewels I used a clear atyou spica pen.  For the flower I used die-namics Pretty Posies.  For the centre of the flower I added some black micro fine glitter.  The shading around the image is done withe pencils and gamsol.

A Hard Challenge....

Ok when we came up with the challenges for the year I honestly don't know who suggested this one because it was too hard!!  I can honestly say I don't have a "favourite" Stamping Bella image.  I then thought about my favourite "line" and could get it narrowed down to a couple.  I was chatting with Cathabella to see what she did; she went with favourite "boy" image. HMMM what to do....

Well I decided to ink up one of the wonderful Uptown Girls (did you see the new ones?!  LOVE!!) Now choosing the image was easy because it's been so cold here that Quinn in her boots  just jumped out at me.

The image is stamped with memento tuxedo black ink onto bella's bestest cream paper and coloured with copics.  I added a little shading with pencils.  Around the image I shaded by sponging some versa magic ink in Aspen Mist and Wheat.  I added some tiny rhinestone to her jackets and boots.  For the snow I used liquid applique and glitter.  To finish it off I added a ghost snowflake, button and ribbon.  The ds paper is MME's A Beautiful Life.

Please stop by Bloggabella to see the rest of the babes creations and what the sistah's sent in.  Remember to also link your card on SCS (BELLARIFFIC0212)

It's Release Day and another Peek....

It's release day over at Stamping Bella today and I get to introduce you to Millie and Milo Acting as Royalty

Are they not the cutest?!  This set is awesome because it comes with 2 other sentiments - "King for a Day" and "Queen for a Day".  The image is stamped onto bella's bestest cream paper and coloured with copics.  I paper pieced their crowns and paper pieced Millie's dress with MME's Lost & Found Union Station.  On Milo's coat I used sparkly fluff and glitter.  I used various sizes and colours of rhinestones on their crowns.  For the shading around the image I used pencils and gamsol.

Make sure you stop by Bloggabella today to see the release - I do believe my shopping cart will be very full today!!!

Sneak Peek....

Happy Monday!!!  Today some of the babes have sneak peeks of Tuesdays release from Stamping Bella!!!

OMG too funny when Em sent me my image she said - "I see the chair paper pieced" Well ask and you shall receive!!  Here is one of the new Uptown Girls - Perry on her Laptop!!

The image is on bella's bestest cream paper and coloured with copics.  The chair is paper pieced with MME's Vanity Fair.  I then paper pieced Perry onto the chair.  For her glasses I used a clear glaze pen.  To give the laptop pear (how brilliant is that?!) I added both a green and yellow atyou spica.  The shading under the chair and around her feet is done with pencils and gamsol.  The sentiment comes with the image.
