It’s Bellarific Friday and you know what that means!  It’s time for another challenge with Stamping Bella! This week we had a sketch (which I actually did follow this time).  🙂

I used Nice to SEE You Petunia, stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers.

To shade Petunia, I used a bit of Pointillism.  (You can find a tutorial using that technique HERE).

After coloring Petunia’s glasses, I added two tiny clear rhinestones to each corner. 🙂

Next week’s challenge is “anything goes” which means “do whatever you’d like.” Just be sure to use a current Stamping Bella image, email your card to Emily by next Thursday and you’ll be entered to win some Bella Bucks!  (All challenge details can be found HERE.)

You can find more DT samples using last week’s sketch on the Stamping Bella blog (a little later this morning).

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to be sharing a sample using one of the latest from Stamping Bella.  New Tiny Townies will be available June 1st, along with some other amazing images!  Exciting, right?  I think so!

This is Blossom Loves Balloons.  I love her.  ♥♥♥

After stamping onto X-Press It Blending Card and coloring with Copic markers, I used a scalloped die-cut strip as a stencil to sponge in the sky around her.

Hi everyone!  Welcome to another Bellarific Friday with Stamping Bella!

This week’s challenge was to create a one layer card.  I used Uptown Girl Isabelle Loves her Ice Cream. (I think my daughter is related to her.)

Since I used Copics, I stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card, colored, attached my tiny flag strips and button, then attached the entire panel to a white card base. Visually, it is a one layer card so I’m calling myself “compliant.”  haha. There are no hard set rules.  However you are inspired…

Next week’s challenge is a sketch:

You can check out more one layer cards by the DT on the Stamping Bella blog (a little later this morning).

If you’d like to play along, use a current Stamping Bella image, email your card to Emily by next Thursday and you’ll be entered to win some Bella Bucks!  (All challenge details can be found HERE.)

Hi everyone.  It’s time for Stamping Bella!  This is actually another image I colored during the 30-day Copic challenge a few weeks ago (on Instagram).  I can’t let the images go to waste.

I used Ramona and Her Wagon, paired with one of my (latest) fave patterned papers, Echo Park Simple Life.  As always, she’s stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers.

I think Ramona and EP Simple Life are a perfect match.  ♥

Thanks so much for stopping by!
