Curvy Girl Gardener

 

Hi there lovelies..

Yes, it's time for a Bellarific Friday make - and we're using stamps from the current release this time..  so I chose to use the gorgeous Curvy Girl Gardener.  I love all of the Curvy Girls...  each and every one has something special!

Cosmo Flower Frame

 

Hi Lovelies..

A relatively simple card from me today.... I say simple, but it's taken me weeks to get it just how I wanted it!  One of those that you do a bit of, then don't like it, then do it again, then are unsure, then redesign.....   you know the type?

The die is from Simon Says Stamp - and it was a struggle to get to cut in my machines... that was the first problem with lots of diecuts ending in the bin! I ended up using thin card and layering the cuts together.  

Then I decided to water-colour a background.  Suffice to say THAT went in the bin too!!  I decided to get back to my Distress Oxide blending for the background - I was happier with the result.


Card Info:
Dies - Simon Says Stamp Cosmo Flower Frame, MFT Inside and Out Stitched Square.
MFT Essential Sentiments - white embossed
Distress Oxides - Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber, Seedless Preserves, Dried Marigold
Gems

Hope you like my make today..  despite the lengthy time it took me, I was really happy with the result!

Curvy Girl with a Newborn - Pastels

 

Hi Lovelies...

For today's Bellarific Friday over at Stamping Bella, we have a Colour Inspiration theme...  and these are the colours we were to use..

Image may contain: dessert and food

I love pastels so I was in my element using these!

I decided to sponge through a stencil with these gorgeous Distress Oxide colours, then I diecut the word 'baby' - giving the word extra depth by adhering three layers together before replacing in the diecut spaces.  I then fussy cut the Curvy Girl image before using foam pads to adhere her to the card.

Dies - MFT Stitched Rectangle, Altenew Large Alphabet
Stencil - MFT Basic Shapes Circle
Colouring - Copics
Skin - E000/00/11/04 R20

Smile......


Hi Lovelies...

Well, after a lovely few days away on the Isle of Wight, I'm back with my Bellarific Friday make.  We were to use one of the fabulous Florals collection, so I chose to use the Straight Up Florals for my card.

And  yes... it's  yellow!!  Like I've said before, it's a colour I tend to avoid at all costs...  but every now and again, I feel the need!  

I stamped and cut a second flower and fussy cut - so that I could 3D the flower head with foam pads.


Card Info:
Dies - Stamping Bella Smile Word Die, Lawn Fawn Stitched Borders
Paper - MFT
Colouring - Copics
Yellows - Y15/17/18/39 YR24

Some things are just not meant to be....

 

Hi Lovelies...

For our Bellarific Friday make today, we are highlighting some of the fabulous stamps other than from the new release..  and this little guy/girl caught my eye from my stash...  who could resist??

I cut a little mask for the image, and a circle mask too, then did some Distress Oxide blending - so that when I peeled the masks off, I had a clean image to colour.  Such a cool technique!


Card Info:
Die - Lil'Inkers Stitched Square, Spellbinders Circle
Colouring - Copics
Piggy - R000/01/02 E31
Cone - E33/31
Ice Cream - E30
Grounding W3
Sequins and Gem

I really enjoyed creating this card, some are just like that, aren't they?  while others are good, but we don't get that same enjoyment.  Or is that just me??  Yes, I'm weird!  The image just reminds me of my lovely man cycling to get an ice cream years ago, then for some reason climbing back on his bike complete with the ice cream - which decided to part company with the cone!  Like it says - some things just aren't meant to be....

Don't forget to pop over the the Stamping Bella Blog to see what the other lovely Babes have been creating for further inspiration, and also to the Sistahood Facebook Page for all things Bella related..  it's a fun place to be!

Have a great weekend all
