Lovey Gnomes.....

 

Hi Lovelies...

I'm back today to share my Bellarific Friday make for Stamping Bella...  and for my card I've used this cute pair of Lovey Gnomes.... well, it's Valentine's Day soon, isn't it? LOL!

As you can see, I decided to do some 'no-lines' colouring - which I don't do often, but I do love the effect when I do manage to give it a go.

Firstly though, I die-cut a heart shape from masking paper, adhered it to my card, then blended through with Distress Oxides to create the heart background - sprinkling a few drops of water to remove drops of colour - this gives interest.

I stamped the gnomes in Memento Desert Sand which gives a very pale outline.

Card Info:

Stamp and Sentiment - Stamping Bella Lovey Gnomes

Dies: MFT Heart Stax, MFT Stitched Rectangles, Simon Says Stamp Mini Hearts Set

Paper - Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow

I diecut some tiny red hearts too and adhered them randomly - so this card is definitely full of love - hope you like it.

If you'd like more Gnome inspiration, pop over to the Stamping Bella Blog to see what my lovely fellow Babes have come up with... and don't forget there is a fabulous challenge over on the Stamping Bella Sistahood Facebook Page, where you can also share any of your lovely Stamping Bella makes - we love to see what you create.

Happy Weekend All...

Gnome-body loves you the way I love you....

Hi Lovelies...

It's Bellarific Friday time - and this time we were asked to showcase some of the fabulous backdrops available at Stamping Bella.  I chose to use the Love Backdrop - as with Valentines day just around the corner, romance is in my mind!

I decided to use these little Lovey Gnomes that I'd got in my last order from the recent release as I'd fallen for them.. and I thought they'd be perfect in front of the hearts in the backdrop.

Have you joined in the January challenge at our Facebook Sistahood page yet??  And if not, WHY not???  There's Bella Bucks to be won - and the theme this month is Anything Goes, as long as you use a current Stamping Bella image.... easy peasy huh??!  You have until the end of January to join in. We've had some wonderful entries so far, but we'd love to see MORE!!  It's so inspiring to see the way us crafters use images so differently.

OK... best go get ready for the weekend.. hope you're going to be doing something nice.

Big hugs
