In case you haven’t heard, there’s a second 30-day Coloring Challenge being hosted by mega-talent (and I mean that literally) Kathy Racoosin of The Daily Marker. If you like to color, you should check it out. You just color, with any type of coloring medium, a little or a lot, whichever you prefer, each day for 30 days. It’s ok if you miss some days. This is for FUN.  You can share on Instagram (which is what I use – @SHEL9999), Facebook, Flicker, your blog, anywhere really.  You can find all details for the challenge HERE on Kathy’s blog. It really is a lot of fun to see what everyone is doing, but it’s also fun to just color for the sheer purpose of coloring. 

So with coloring every day for 30 days, I end up with many images to turn into cards. But remember…you don’t have to do that!  No pressure. At all.  Today, I turned my colored image into a card.  🙂

I used Lulu’s Two Pies by Stamping Bella. She was stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copics.

Let me know if you decide to play along! I’d love to see what you’re up to! 🙂

Thanks for visiting today!

Hi everyone!  It’s Bellarific Friday which means it’s time for another challenge with Stamping Bella.  This week’s theme was “anything goes.” And since it’s the first Friday of the month, we’re all using Big Words, available for 20% off through the end of June.

Note that Big Words is a category, not a single stamp, so you can choose among several, and most include more than one stamp.  Bonus!  🙂

I combined (Big Words) Stop Rushing with Uptown Girl Winnie Peeking Out the Window.

Stop Rushing consists of the sentiment I used here plus two smaller ones which can be used inside the card, or as separate sentiments on a card front.

The image and sentiment were stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card with the image colored using Copic markers. I stamped the flowers a second time, colored and cut out the amount I needed (so as not to cover the sentiment) then adhered the flower strip on clear foam squares.

You can check out more Big Words 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.)

Next week’s challenge is Anything But a Card.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
