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. I added some white gel pen and copic multiliner to give some depth to the sand on the beach. Finally I stamped out a sentiment from the Summer Sentiment Set. So cute! I love these Summer Bundles as much as I love the cosy Winter ones!!
