Hey hey hey!!!! Can you believe it?! Another Stamping Bella release- whoo hoo! Over 30 new stamps!!!! Plus some 3 new collections!!! Swooooon!

Anyhoo I'm here with a sneaky peek of one of the new release stamps - Uptownie Betty Loves Books!

How cute is Betty? I have so many friends this stamp is appropriate for! Betty is coloured with copics and paper pieced. I also stamped the book again so I could raise it up on foam pads. Glossy Accents on glasses. Papers are Pebbles, sentiment is a retired MFT one.

Bellarific Friday- Wiz!

Hey peeps! How's it going?

Today's Bellarific Friday was a sketch....

I used the fantastic Mo Manning image "Wiz"- it was fab to colour!! Wiz was coloured with copics and I added some highlights with a white gel pen. Papers are Fancy Pants. Sentiment comes with Wiz. I added a few sequins- can you have sequins on a male card without it looking girly?! I think it looks OK, er.....I think!!!!

Here is your close up!

This was your sketch for this week. 

Next week's challenge is VALENTINES!! 

As it's the first Friday of the month the DT will be using the "stamp of the month"! Can you guess which one it will be?!!!!
