Stamping Bella: Bellarific Friday with Beach Bundle Girl With A Floatie!

Hellooooooo! So this week's Bella babes theme was to use the inspiration/colour photo on the blog. I decided to use Beach Bundle Girl With A Floatie...

 

I coloured Beach Bundle with copics and paper pieced her and the duck with papers to match the inspiration photo. I then fussy cut them out and stuck a gorgeous hydrangea embellishment on her swimming hat. I then created a beach background (by using sea colours that matched the photo) and a stencil and Distress Oxides.

Stamping Bella Bellarific Friday- Bundle Girl Loves Strawberries!

 Happy Friday!

This week's Bellarific Friday theme was "oldie but a goodie" using the Summer themes of Fluttering Wings and Summer Blooms (this month's challenge). 

I decided to use the gorgeous Bundle Girl Loves Strawberries! What could be more summery than strawberries and of course the pretty flowers on the strawberry plant?!

I coloured Bundle with copics and added some white gel pen highlights. I paper pieced her dress with this gorgeous flowery paper. I kept the design quite simple as the stamp is HUGE and I wanted it to be the sole focus. I overstamped a sentiment from the Garden Sentiment Set and then added a couple of strips of DP.

I just LOVE how she's reaching up to the juicy strawberry!
