Eating All the Chocolate!

Hi Lovelies...

Yayyy... It's Bellarific Friday today and this time we're using images from the newest release at Stamping Bella - and what fabulous images we had to choose from!

I decided to go for one of the wonderful Oddballs..  this one has lots of chocolate to eat... a bit like me during lockdown!

I coloured her and fussy cut around the image, before adhering her to my background.  I stamped the sentiment that comes along with the stamp in the corner.

Hi Lovelies...

It's a Littles week for me - this time I've used the fabulous Stamping Bella Little Bits Critters.. there are seven little images in the stamp set, I chose to use these five.

I've had this die in my stash for a while too and I thought it was perfect for these little guys... but it was on a magnetic sheet without it's packaging, so it's anyone's guess who the maker is.  Now, I'm normally organised!

I did a lot of fussy cutting of the images, trying hard not to accidentally remove antennae! Then I used some Distress Ink to create the back panel of the shaker element.

Card Info:

Little Bits Fairies

 

Hi Lovelies...

Today I'm using the fabulous Little Bits Fairy set from Stamping Bella for my card..  I just love these little girlie fairies!

I created the background by using some Distress Inks on a white card panel - after marking where the windows of the die would be when adhered.  I wanted pink behind the pink fairy, green behind the green, and lilac behind the lilac one.  Then I added some acetate behind the windows, and created a shaker card with my sequins.  

I fussy cut the fairies, and thought it would be fun to have them dancing and flying around the card.  Now the set has four fairies, and I do feel so bad for the one that didn't make it onto the front of the card - so much so, I coloured her and popped her inside!

Card Info:

Sunny is Stylish...

Hey Peeps...

I'm back today using the gorgeous Simply Stylish Uptown Girl from Stamping Bella... and I have to own up to a truth.  I did make a card for our Bellarific Friday last week, but the plan in my head didn't quite come to fruition on my card - even after a second attempt..  it was pretty poor and I was so disappointed!  Sooo... it hit the bin!  Does that sort of thing happen to you??

I decided today to colour up another Stamping Bella image  - this time using one of my favourite stamps (I do love these Uptown Girls) - this is Sunny is Stylish... and she certainly is!  I fussy cut her so that I could adhere her on foam pads to the background.

Card Info:

Where's my Bucket and Spade??

Hi Lovelies..

There is a fabulous new release from All Dressed Up - and I got to use the gorgeous Bucket and Spade for my DT card.

I chose to use really bright summery colours as at the moment, it's dull, wettish, grey and chilly here in the UK - we need a bit of warm!

I fussy cut the image - then tried adding a few layers behind - and I was really happy how it turned out..

Happy Birthday to YOU!

Hi Lovely Bloggers...

Today my card is something so different for me - it took me out of my comfort zone!  OK it's pink.....  but there the similarity ends!  

I used the MFT Circle Celebrations background over a Distress Oxide blended panel - then heat embossed with gold embossing powder..  so difficult to photograph, but I tried my best.  Then I diecut the large word three times and adhered together, the top one in gold mirri card.  I heat embossed the little sentiment, and diecut a couple of hearts - adhering all to a strip of vellum.

Birthday Borders...

Hi Lovely Bloggers..

I've been playing with my Pretty Pink Posh stash - using the Birthday Borders and Everyday Greetings sets.  This border is going to be so useful and it was so easy to use!

I coloured the candles - then added some glitter to the flames and then Glossy Accents to the actual candles - giving the border a real 3D feel.  I've taken a couple of photos so you can see the effect.

A Sprinkling of Fairy Dust

 

Hi Lovelies..

Something a little different from me today - I've used a fairy silhouette stamp that a lovely friend bought for me a while ago now, and she's been patiently waiting her turn to be inked and stamped on a card.

I did some Distress Oxide blending onto cardstock to create a panel, splattering it with water and lifting some colour with a piece of kitchen towel.  That's the scariest bit - as really, we have little control of where the splats go!

Then I stamped the fairy with black Versafine Ink, along with some foliage to create a frame.  I mounted the panel onto some gold mirri card, then onto my card base.  I added a small sentiment heat embossing with gold onto some black cardstock, again matted with gold mirri...  then finished with some glitter on her wings and in the fairy dust that she's sprinkling.

Card Info:

Image - Lavinia Stamps Fairy Dust

Foliage - Inkylicious

Sentiment - Pretty Pink Posh Simple Sentiments

Distress Oxides - Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick,

Peace, Man...

Hi Lovelies...

Yes, it's another Bellarific Friday and I'm here again to share Bellarific goodies... this time from the new release.

This is Oddball Hippie.. and I do LOVE her!  I was a hippie in my late teens, complete with head band, necklace - ooh and the short skirt too (which wasn't really hippie regalia!)

After colouring and fussy cutting,  I adhered her to a panel that I'd stencilled with Distress Oxides... keeping it clean and simple.

Card Info:

Image - Stamping Bella Oddball Hippie

Distress Oxides - Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry

Stencil - MFT Trio of Rectangles

Colouring - Copics and Pencils

Hair - E40/41/43/44

Skin - E000/01/11/04

Everything else was coloured 

using Prismacolour Pencils

I added a few sequins and then adhered the panel to some dark pink cardstock, before adhering all to my card base.  Hope you like what I did!
