Stamping Bella Flamingodeer

Hi There...

Well it's time for another Bellarific Friday and as it's the last one of the month, we're using images from the latest release.  I chose to use this fabulous Flamingodeer...  to colour in pink of course!

I coloured the image and then fussy cut it - yes, even fussy cutting those skinny legs - eeek!  Then I created a Distress Oxide Blended background using Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick, sprinkled with gold watercolour paint.

I stamped the sentiment which is from another set on the white base.

Rachelle Anne Miller Fairy Christmas Carols

Hi Lovelies...

Today I'm sharing a card I made using the Fairy Christmas Carols Scene Creator Digital Stamps - they are part of the October release from Rachelle.  I'm loving that the images can be used in whichever way you like - you get to (as it says), create the scene!

I printed out the images, coloured them, then fussy cut each one.  Then I created a snowy background using Distress Oxides. I adhered each image with 3D foam pads exactly in the position I wanted.  I also used the banner that comes with the set.

Hello...

Hi There...

I've been playing over the weekend with this gorgeous word die from The Stamp Market that I bought from The Stamping Shed in Skipton recently...  it's such a fine die - I did the letters in gold mirri and the backing in pink to match the card base.

Then I used Distress Oxides rainbow colours on a white piece of card - I love creating rainbows!  I die cut the panel using the Hero Arts Fancy Flower Garden Die adhering the diecut to the card base.

MFT Nativity Silhouette

Hi Lovelies...

Today I'm sharing a card I made with the fabulous new Nativity Silhouette from MFT - it dropped through my letter box on Friday and I made a card straight away!

I diecut the set in black - then created a Distress Oxide blended panel.  I then splattered the panel with white to create the starry background, die-cutting the star from the set in white and adding that together with the other parts of the set.

I used a older sentiment from Paper Smooches - heat embossing it in white - and it was done - hope you like!

Stamping Bella Brett and Brenda Get Married

Hey Peeps...

Today I'm sharing a special card I made for my youngest daughter for her wedding day...  lots of love went into the card and I know she appreciated it.

I used an older Stamping Bella stamp - this one is called Brett and Brenda Get Married... and I had to alter the groom slightly, as her now husband has a man bun!!  It was easy to add with a Copic fine liner pen.  But otherwise, I personalised it with their hair colours and his suit etc.  I've attached a little photo below of the couple on their big day!

I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the image, then created a background using a stencil and some glimmer paste - sprinkling with glitter while the paste was still wet.  I then used a Congratulations word die, to cut three of the word - adhering them together to create depth.

I finished the card by adding it to a larger panel of pink - as this was one of the 'wedding colours'.

Card Info:

Image - Stamping Bella Brett and Brenda Get Married

Dies - Congratulations - (no make on it!) MFT Stitched Rectangles

Stencil - Small Stars - Rainbow Designs

I hope you like my card as much as I enjoyed making it..
