STAMPING BELLA- DANDYLION LOVES YOU!

 Hello!!

Today's Bellarific Friday was to use a sketch and I showcased the gorgeous, larger than life, Dandylion Loves You!


I coloured with copics and added some white gel pen highlights and details. I then created the sketch background by using some pretty DPs. I added a die-cut border and one of the stamped sentiments (cut out using a banner die). Finally I added a cute die-cut heart.

Stamping Bella- Dandelion Protector Of Hearts!

Hello my crafty friends

Today's theme over at Bellarific Friday was ANYTHING GOES!

I decided to use the very gorgeous Dandylion Protector Of Hearts- I just ADORE these designs by Kristin....

I coloured Dandy up with copics and added some white gel pen highlights. I then masked out his wings and part of his body so that I could create a blended Distress Oxide strip. I then used a shimmer spray to add some interest to the inked panel. Finally I added a glitter strip of cardstock and stamped one of the accompanying sentiments.

Supplies: Stamps (Stamping Bella); Copics; White gel pen; Distress Oxides; Shimmer spray; Glitter strip (DCWV)

STAMPING BELLA NEW RELEASE SNEAK PEEKS- BUNDLE GIRL LOVES BUNNY WOBBLES, BUNDLE GIRL WITH A CARROT, SPEC-TACULAR PAIR ICE TEA AND LEMONADE AND SPEC-TACULAR PAIR TACO AND AVOCADO!

Woo hooooooo! Today is the second day of Stamping Bella's new release and today we have some gorgeous Bundle Girls and some cute and punny Spec-Taculars...

First up is the adorable Bundle Girl Loves Bunny Wobbles...

 


And why wouldn't she?! Look at her gorgeous fluffy cuddles! I coloured her up with copics and added some white gel pen on her dress and then fussy cut out. I arranged the backing papers in a pleasing layout and adhered Bundle using 3d foam pads. I then stamped out a sentiment from the Easter Sentiment Set and adhered beneath Bundle to ground them. I then die-cut a Spring sentiment banner in green to match the DP strip at the bottom of the card. Such a lovely, Spring/Easter image!

Next up is Bundle Girl With A Carrot...


Again, I coloured Bundle with copics and added some gel pen on her dress and fussy cut. I then die cut the soil background and added a strip of DP to the bottom of it. I die-cut some clouds out of masking paper and used them to blend Distress Oxides over the top. I then stamped a sentiment from the Easter Sentiment Set and placed a die-cut large "Spring" sentiment above it. Finally I die cut some carrot shapes and then drew and coloured carrots on them and stuck them in the slits to appear like carrots growing. Bundle Girl then got centre stage on the middle of the soil. Hope she doesn't get too dirty!! 

Next up is the very cute and funny Spec-Tacular Pair Ice Tea and Lemonade...


I coloured with copics and added white gel pen highlights and then fussy cut out. I then used a splat stencil and Distress Oxides to blend a big splat! I adhered the elements using 3d foam pads, added my trademark DP strip and a stamped sentiment from the new Spec-Tacular Pairing Sentiment Set. So much Summery fun and really brightens up the miserable weather at the mo.

Finally I've got another Spec-Tacular Pair- Taco and Avocado...


I coloured these in a very similar way. I love the big splat of avocado and the lil taco's face! ha ha. Sentiment again is from the new Spec-Tacular Pair Sentiment Set.

Stamping Bella- Tiny Townie Wonderland Daisy!

Helloooooo!

Yes it's Friday again, time for Bellarific Friday! 

This Friday's challenge was to be inspired by the DT so I chose to be inspired by the very wonderful Debra using Tiny Townie Wonderland Daisy... 


I coloured up Wonderland Daisy with copics, added some white gel pen and then fussy cut out. I then used a stamp set and coloured ink to create a distressed background. I then die-cut some foliage to assemble behind Daisy. Finally, I stamped out the sentiment from the Hello Spring Sentiment set and cut into a tag, added some silver thread.

Ta da! Isn't her face just the cutest?! Of course you can change the colour way for a Summer card too!

Stamping Bella- Bellarific Friday with Bundle Girl With Balloons!

Helloooo!

It's Bellarific Friday! Woo hoo!

Today we had a colour inspiration to follow (see below), I chose to showcase the gorgeous Bundle Girl With Balloons...



I coloured Bundle with copics and paper pieced her dress with some gorgeous flowery paper. I then created a layered paper background and cut some butterflies out of some of the DP to add some pretty interest. I then stamped out a sentiment from the Celebrate And Congratulate sentiment set. I did cheat a little by adding a pink balloon but there was a touch of pink of my paper.
