Stamping Bella Mini Oddball has a Present

Hi Lovelies...

Time for another Bellarific Friday card - and today, we're using stamps from the latest release.  I chose to use this gorgeous Mini Oddball with a Present - I coloured and fussy cut her before creating the background.

I used Distress Oxides - Dusty Concord and Villainous Potion blended together to give this gorgeous purple matching her colours.  Then I used a stencil with some embossing paste - sprinkled with glitter!  Unfortunately, the sparkle doesn't show too well on the photos - but I've tried from all angles so you can see.

Stamping Bella Curvy Girl Besties

Hey Peeps...

It's Bellarific Friday - and we're using stamps from January's Stamp of the Month range - which this time are the Curvy Girls.  The Curvy Girl Besties has to be one of my favourite images of all - I've used it already a few times and enjoyed using it again today!

I coloured and fussy cut the image... then used a cover plate die to create the background.  I stamped the sentiment and cut the small panel for it to also be adhered to the panel.

I used the sentiments from the set too...  they're perfect for this time of year!

Rachelle Anne Miller Three Giraffes

Hi Lovelies...

Today I'm sharing a Sneak Peek card using one of the fabulous numbers from Rachelle Anne Miller - available this Thursday!  I chose to use the number 3 - as I have a bit of a weakness for giraffes... so wanted to colour them up.
