Bellarific Friday- Senioritas!

Hey Stamping Bella lovers! It's Bellarific Friday again! This week's challenge was nice and simple.. USE A SENIORITA!

I just love these characters- they're so unique! There are so many stamps out there for younger women but hardly any ones for those getting on a bit or fun humorous ones!!

So I've coloured Sylvia with copics- loving her big knickers! The papers I've used are MME. How fabulously apt is that sentiment?

Your close up! 

We have a little sketchypoo for you to use for next week! Cmon and join Da Bellas and you could win yourself some Bella bucks! Don't forget to email your entry to Em by Thursday!

Bellarific Friday- Claudia has a candy!

Hey! Hope you've all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend. The theme for this week's Bellarific Friday was an inspiration photo (see below) and I decided to use the gorgeous Uptownie Claudia Has A Candy...

Because Claudia is so HUGE I decided to stamp her straight onto my card blank. I coloured her with copics and added a lyra shadow. I also added strips of coloured card to emphasize the zesty colour scheme.

Close up! Do you like my funky background?

Bellarific Friday- Victoria and Juliette's Night Out!

Helloooo! It's Friday so that can only mean one thing- Bellarific Friday! Yay!!

This week's challenge was a sketch (see below). I decided to use Uptownies Victoria and Juliette's Night Out!  to make a card for my sister's friend's hen night. I coloured Uptownies with copics and then paper pieced their outfits and added some serious glitter! The papers are Basic Grey Little Black Dress (of course!) and I added the Dienamics Skyline die plus some gorgeous Prima pearls and finished with silk ribbon.

How cool do the Uptownies look on their girls' night out?!

Bellarific Friday- Brett and Brenda get married

Hey folks! I'm back with another Bellarific Friday post! This week's challenge was to use the sketch provided (see below)!...

I decided to make a wedding card using the gorgeous Brett and Brenda Get Married. I LOVE this stamp with a passion!! How gorgeous does Brenda look on her wedding day?! My sister asked me to make this card for her friend's wedding so I used the blue colour theme that she was using and coloured her hair red so that she looked like her. Brett and Brenda are coloured with copics. The papers are Maja Design and I've distressed and sewn them.

Close up! How happy does Brenda look?!

Here was your sketch

Next week's theme is BLING IT UP!

I'm back with Bellarific Friday!

Hi folks! I'm back!!! If you're reading this THANK YOU for sticking around whilst I was on my "maternity leave"! Our gorgeous little boy, Zachary, has kept me crazy busy but I must admit I've been missing my little craft room and my fingers have been itching to get colouring again! Somehow I am finding a wee bit of time to craft though heaven knows how!!

I do have a very BIG reason for starting crafting again though which I can't wait to share with you. Em from Stamping Bella has asked me to join their DT!!!!!!! Yep, little old me, who's been their biggest fan since I first began crafting is now on the DT!!!! I can't believe it!!!!!!

So without further ado, here is my first card on the Stamping Bella DT for this week's Bellarific Friday.....

So I've used Uptown Girl Sunny Is Stylish. I've coloured her with copics and paper pieced her skirt, jacket and headscarf. I added some Glossy Accents to her sunglasses- how cool have they photographed?! I kept the layout very simple as I thought the image, sentiment and paper said it all really! I just love that sentiment!

Here was the Inspiration photo for this week's challenge. You see what I did?!

Next week's Bellarific Friday challenge is the above sketch. C'mon and join us- just make sure you're using a current Bella stamp!!
