Stamping Bella Bundle Girl at the Pumpkin Patch

Hi Lovelies...

My card for this week's Bellarific Friday at Stamping Bella features the cute little Bundle Girl at the Pumpkin Patch.. carrying the most mahoosive pumpkin I have ever seen!

I coloured the image, then cut a mask of it to use before creating another mask in a wave shape - to use top and bottom so I could blend Distress Inks in between.  Does that sound Irish or does it make sense??  So it's a one layer card!  I then stamped the sentiment in a brown to match the image.

Card Info:

Shading W0/1/3

AND THEN.....  I decided that while I still had the masks - I could try a bit of splattering - maybe trying to give the impression of leaves falling??  Not sure I achieved that!  I splattered with a light brown and an orange watercolour paints - then some Kuretake Gansai Tambi Gold watercolour - which you can barely see on the photos, but shows up a lot on my trousers where I accidentally splattered!!!! I have a big cardboard box that I use to spray/splatter things inside... but STILL my trousers got it!

So there you go.... with or without splatter!

Hope you like my make today (whichever way!) ..  and that you'll pop over to the Stamping Bella Blog for more inspiration using gorgeous Bundle Girls.  There's also the Facebook Sistahood page where you can chat and share all things Bella related..  we love to see your creations!

Hi Lovelies...

I created a 'just for fun' card to share today - I used the gorgeous Winnie Blossoming from Polkadoodles - colouring and fussy-cutting her before adhering to a Distress Oxide blended panel.

Clearly Besotted Sweet Dreams

Hi Lovelies...

I've been happily colouring up this cutie from the new release at Clearly Besotted... the stamp set was ordered Wednesday night and was in my hand on Friday morning...  stamped and coloured that afternoon, and then popped on cards yesterday!

It's such a sweet set and I know I'll use it for many occasions..  and it was a joy to colour and fussy cut.

Card Info:

Image and Sentiment - Clearly Besotted Sweet Dreams

Die - MFT Jumbo Peekaboo Circle

Colouring - Copics

Unicorn - T0/1 RV52/63

Stars - RV52/63

Next I decided to change up the colour and shape of the base card.  I still used the scalloped circle frame - adding a curved border die.  I used blue Distress Inks to create the cloudy sky panel behind the circle - after seeing Michelle from The Card Grotto use similar colours.  I did a white splatter over the clouds for stars, then added some white gel pen larger dots for bigger stars!

I can't make up my mind which of the colours I prefer!

Stamping Bella Bundle Girl on a Swing

Hi Lovelies...

Another Bellarific Friday has come around - and this time we're highlighting the Stamp of the Month for September - which is the fabulous Bundle Girl on a Swing - you can get it with 50% discount throughout the month.

I coloured and fussy cut the image,  then created a cloudy background by stencilling a panel with Distress Inks in Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry.  I used a fab die - Sky Bursters from Mama Elephant - to give me an oval aperture for the girl to swing through.  This die not only cuts the oval, but gives the sunburst cuts too.

Polkadoodles Honey Pie Dancing Queen

Hi There...

Today I'm sharing a card using a fabulously cute image from Polkadoodles - this is Honey Pie Dancing Queen.  She's a lovely little lady and I knew she needed pink... of course!

I coloured and fussy cut her - adhering her to a circular die cut with 3D foam pads.  Then I looked in my digital papers and came across this gorgeous daisy print from Pink Petticoat - lots of years back!  I think the sentiment is from them too - but I had lots cut out so just used one of those.

As we have the Set of Kitties as Stamp of the Month throughout August at Stamping Bella, the team are using 'any other animal stamp' for our Bellarific Friday make.

Mama Elephant Up With Love

Hi Lovelies...

Happy Sunday!

For my card today, I've used the Mama Elephant Up With Love stamp set which I adore, colouring and fussy cutting the images, then using a dry embossing tool to make them more rounded.

I then created a pink cloudy base, using Spun Sugar Distress Ink over a cloud stencil.  I left a clear space at the bottom of the panel to place the sentiment.  I matted and layered the panel onto pink cardstock.

I adhered the little teddy and bunny using 3D foam pads, using thinner ones for adhering the sentiment, which I'd heat embossed in gold.

Sentiment - Clearly Besotted Feeling Sentimental

Stamping Bella Meet Edna (if you haven't already met her!)

Hi There...

It's Bellarific Friday again and as it's the second Friday of the month, we're highlighting some of the older stamp sets - I say 'older' quietly - as Edna would never forgive me for using that word in the same sentence as her name!!

I coloured and fussy cut Edna - then used a dry embossing tool to give her the rounded effect.  I then created a background using two strips of post it tape and blending ink between them.  Then I stamped it with this Twinkle Twinkle background stamp.  'Nuff said.... Edna has to have her sparkle!

Rachelle Anne Miller Garden Friends Scene Builder

Hi Lovelies...

It's nearly time for the August release at Rachelle Anne Miller Digital Stamps- so today I have a sneak peek of one of the new images - in face this is a collection of little characters and things from the garden.... it's called the Garden Friends Scene Builder Collection and will be available on Thursday, 12 August.

It was so easy to create a scene with these little cuties - as they're digi images, they can be moved around and placed just where you like.  I used PowerPoint to create mine, but Word is just as easy.

I decided to try a little no-line colouring - as the images come both in black line and faded line - perfect for this style.  I tried to give the characters some texture too - especially that little teddy, and the cute little hedgie!

I know I'll use these little guys over and over in different scenes..  they're such a fab way to make something really special.
