Miss Anya Darlin

 

Hi Lovelies

I've been playing with the fabulous Miss Anya Darlin stamps from The Greeting Farm - and here's the result using one of the gorgeous girls!

I'm loving a bit of purple at the moment, so chose some dotty purple paper, then did a smooshed background for the insert of the shaker which matched the paper.

Lolly and Her Brolly

 

Hi Lovelies...

Whooaaa - Friday has come round again in double quick time - and you know what that means...  it's Bellarific Friday... yayyy!

This time we had a colour inspiration photo to follow....

I decided to use Lolly and Her Brolly for my card - she seemed a perfect match for the colours.  I created a Distress Oxide blended rectangle first by using masking paper with the rectangle diecut from the centre.

Then I coloured Lolly and fussy cut her, before adhering her to the card.  The sentiment was stamped with Versafine - then a few gems added the finishing touch.

More Sneaky Peeks!

 

Hi Lovelies...

I'm back again today with more sneak peeks from the Stamping Bella new release (due out Monday 20 January).

The image on my first card is 'Curvy Girl Loves Tea' - and I decided to do a background using the Bokeh technique through a stencil with lots of circles.  As I'd chosen green for her dress, I used lots of green in the Bokeh - and I was happy with how it turned out.

If Friends Were Flowers...

 

Hi Lovelies...

Amidst all the excitement of the Sneak Peeks, we also have our Bellarific Friday today... and this time we're highlighting images from the Teeny Tiny Townie range - as our Stamp of the Month was Call Me Teeny Tiny Townie - don't forget you can purchase that image for 25% discount right through January!

Now I chose to use Teeny Tiny Townie with a Bouquet - as this is one of my favourites - that mahoosive bouquet is going to topple her over if she's not careful!

After colouring - I fussy cut the image so that I could adhere her with foam pads giving the card a 3D effect.  Then I diecut and used some small hearts to add more interest.

Last two Christmas makes.... a bit late!

Hi Peeps..

Sorry I've been missing for a while - I've had the nasty virus that's been doing the rounds, so my blog came to a standstill just before Christmas!

So I'm very quickly adding a couple of cards that didn't quite make it to the blog - but didn't want to be ignored either, so here they are!

The first one is a really simple shaker card - using the Pretty Pink Posh Joy Diecut Circle..  I used it with kraft card and filled with lots of sequins to give the required 'shake'!

And for the second, I used this 'Cute Santa and Reindeer' from the Digital Stamp Boutique - I know they're no longer trading, but I still love to use their images and sentiments!

Hope you like my last Christmas makes...

Hugs

Santa!!!!!

Hi There...

A quickie from me today using one of the fab Santas from the MFT Jingle All The Way stamp set.  This is a set I use year after year and I love this little guy.  I combined with a sentiment from the MFT Snow Globe Sentiment set.

I used my Taylored Expressions Twinkle Twinkle Background stamp to create the starry sky over a Distress Ink blended card...  I stamped with Versamark then heat embossed with Wow Sparkling Snow embossing powder.

Colouring - Copics

Reds - R24/27/46 E57

Belt and Boots- C5/7

Die - Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside

Santa has Arrived (well not quite yet!)

Hi there...

It's Bellarific Friday... and this time here at Stamping Bella, we're highlighting stamps that are not from the current release.  Well, I have so many Christmas stamps that I just love using.. so it was difficult for me to chose... but this Littles Santa just caught my eye and so here he is, all coloured up!

I decided to do a little bit of decoupage - so stamped the image twice and cut out the moustache and the chimney - giving it a 3D effect that looks good!
