Bellariffic Friday - Mojobella Sketch 11

It's Bellariffic Friday and this week we have Mojobella Sketch 11.



I love doing custom card orders and this Birthday card was for a 7 year old boy.



I stamped the image, Milton, with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured him with copics.  The paper is Echo Park "Little Boy Collection".  I stamped out two extra balloons and cut them out then added a ton of Wink of Stella and boy, do they sparkle!



Be sure to check out the rest of the BellaBabes and the Sistah's cards for this week on Blogabella.  Next week's Bellariffic Friday challenge is Use Your Favourite Embellishment.  Oh my goodness, I have so many - which will I choose?

We hope you'll get stamping with us. It's easy to play along - just ink up any current (check the website) Stamping Bella image, and email your card to Emily by next Thursday for a chance to win some Bella Bucks.

Cheerio.....Leslie

Bellariffic Friday - Inspiration Challenge 3

It's Bellariffic Friday and this week we had another inspiration challenge photo - perfect for wedding season which is upon us!


I decided to go with the colours, the flowers and the wedding theme for my card.



I stamped the image Close Ups "I Do" with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics.  I sponged some Tim Holtz Picked Raspberry distress ink over a Funky Florals stencil.  It's not a wedding without some sparkle so my Wink of Stella was added to her dress along with some glitter on the lace of her dress.  I added lots of sequins around the image too.

We hope you'll get stamping with us. It's easy to play along - just ink up any current (check the website) Stamping Bella image, and email your card to Emily by next Thursday for a chance to win some Bella Bucks.

Design Team Thursday

It's my turn for Design Team (DT) Thursday and today I'm going to show you how I combined two different Stamping Bella images to make a "new" image.  This was a special order birthday card for a little girl who loves purple and does many types of dance including ribbon dancing. 



I combined two stamp sets to make this card for her. 

(Tiny Townie Fairy Best Friends)



and 

(Tiny Townie Tiny Dancers)

I coloured up the left Tiny Townie Fairy with copic markers.  I used the matching Cut It Out and then cut off the other Fairy so I was left with this image.



Then I coloured up one of the ribbons from Tiny Townie Dancers and fussy cut it out.  This is what it looked like.



I added it over the Fairy's hand to cover up the fact that I'd cut off the other fairy - LOL.  I popped up both the image and the ribbon for some dimension.  Here's a closer look.



I love making custom order cards for people and combining different Stamping Bella images makes it easy! 

I've made many cards combining images and sentiments.  Here are just a few.   



Make a Wish Hoppy Poppy image with partial sentiment from Milton.



Uptown Girl Curly Clara Needs Your Address with sentiment from Uptown Girl Sunny is Stylish.



Pampered image with sentiment from Uptown Girl Serena Has a Sign.  (This was a thank you for a spa gift card I received)



Uptown Girl Fiona Loves Flowers image with sentiment from Uptown Girl Brittany the Birthday Girl.

I hope you've enjoyed this DT Thursday and you look at your stamps differently now and find ways to combine images.

Cheerio.....Leslie

Happy Birthday Vicky

It's Vicky's birthday today and I had so much fun making this card for her.  She loves elephants, seriously LOVES them!



This cute image is called Birthday Elephant which seems appropriate :)

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics.  The paper is MME "Happy Day".

On the inside I stamped the funny sentiment that comes with the set.



I fussy cut the hat and present and popped them up for some dimension.  I added an enamel dot to the hat and a scattering of glitter.  The balloon is really sparkly from a thick layer of Wink of Stella.  



I love VIcky to bits and wish her the BEST birthday ever!

Cheerio.....Leslie

Bellariffic Friday - Washi or Ribbon

It's Bellariffic Friday and this week our challenge was to use washi tape or ribbon on our card. It's also the first Friday of the month so that means another stamp on sale for the whole month!  All the Bellababes will be using Lulu's Garden of Daisies.



I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics.  The paper is Lilybeedesign and the white background was done with the Lattice embossing folder.  I added a wide piece of ribbon behind the image and a scattering of sequins.

Be sure to check out the rest of the BellaBabes and the Sistah's cards for this week on Blogabella.  Next week's Bellariffic Friday challenge is Mojobella Sketch 10.



We hope you'll get stamping with us. It's easy to play along - just ink up any current (check the website) Stamping Bella image, and email your card to Emily by next Thursday for a chance to win some Bella Bucks.
