Stamping Bella Previews and Weekly Challenge

Hello everyone! It’s time to share samples of Stamping Bella‘s upcoming Monday, March 22 release! I love preview time! I haven’t seen all of the new images myself so I’m excited to see what I haven’t already! Today I have eight samples, the weekly challenge and an extra at the end. Be sure to head over to the Stamping Bella blog to see even more, and don’t forget to leave a comment there for the chance to win a prize!

All of my samples were stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers.

The sweet Curvy Girl Big Hug sentiment is included with the sweet image. After coloring, I added white dots to the little girl’s dress and brushed in a bit of Folk Art Tulip stenciling. Purple epoxy dots are from Queen & Company. (Bundled assortment of dots here.)

After coloring this adorable Tiny Townie Crafty Friends image, I added white dots to the dress on the right and then matted onto older Doodlebug Design patterned paper. The sentiment is included with the image.

After coloring sweet Tiny Townie Unicorn, I added a dotted pattern to the leotard and brushed in a background of stenciled stars. I also added some Diamond Stickles dots into the background. I used only part of the sentiment that comes along with the image. The remainder reads “even if they’re all grown up.” Sweet.  🙂
