Sunny

Based on my lack of posting you can tell I've been having a fun summer!  I'm back today with my Bellariffic Fridays card which was a sketch

This was an interesting sketch - after pondering it I decided to ink up Uptown Girl Sunny is Stylish.

The image is stamped with memento tuxedo black ink onto bella's bestest white card stock and coloured with copics.  I used a clear glaze pen on the lenses of her sunglasses and buttons on her jacket.  For the frames I used a pink atyou spica pen.  I inked around the image and the sentiment panel with scattered straw distress ink.  The DP is Basic Greys Knee High

Play More....

Today's Bellariffic Fridays challenge was a sketch!  For my card I was inspired by the hot temps and inked up Stamping Bella's Uptown Girl Sandy and her Sombrero.

The image is stamped with memento tuxedo black ink onto bella's bestest white card stock and coloured with copics. I used a clear glaze pen on the drink glass and the lenses on the glasses.  For some bling on the bathing suit and sunglass frames I used a jelly roll pen.  I shaded around the image with Tim Holtz Distress ink in scattered straw.  The dp is EP's So happy together.  For the flags I used MFT's fishtail banner stax die-namics.

I carried the fishtail banner stax onto the inside of the card

A Late Bellariffic

Happy very late Friday - I must apologize for being late with my Bellariffic Firday, it's been a bit of a crazy week!

This weeks challenge was "for the sistahs" a card about friendship.  I totally gravitated to my Uptown Girls from Stamping Bella and chose Uptown Girls Pattie and Dottie Friends Forever.

The image is stamped with versafine black ink onto water colour paper then embossed with black embossing power.  I coloured the image with a combination of distress markers and gelatos.  The dp is MME's Yellow Bicycle's Fern & Forest

I decorated the inside of the card using the same theme - I love the sentiment that comes with this image!

May Your Glass always be Half Full....

Happy Friday - It's a long weekend here and of course there's rain in the forecast!  Really it usually snows in Calgary or the foot hills this weekend so if we just get rain we're lucky!

For my card today I inked up one of my favourite Uptown Girls - Uptown girl Opal the Optimist.

I stamped the image onto bella's bestest white card stock and coloured with copics.  For the polka dots I used a pink atyou spica pen on the dress and an orange one on the shoes.  The dp is Fancy Pants Hopscotch.   I added some bling along the side.

I decorated the inside of the card for the sentiment.

Happy Friday

Today's Bellariffic Fridays theme was "ANYTHING GOES" - should be super easy right?!  Well I couldn't decide what image I wanted to ink up, then I looked for a sketch, then didn't use one - yep a really easy theme!

I did decide to ink up Uptown Girls Belinda and Bernadette the Bench Buddies.

The image is stamped with memento tuxedo black ink onto bella's bestest cardstock and coloured with copics.   I wanted to use the insta frame die-namic for MFT to show a "photo" of the bench buddies. The shading around the image is done with tumbled glass distress ink.  The sentiment (which comes with the image) is stamped with versamark ink then embossed with white embossing powder.  The dp is MME's My Girl.  I added some stitching and ribbon, but kept the card base simple so the image would be the main focus.

Snowy Bellariffic

Happy Friday!  Can I tell you how excited I am to be back playing along with Bellariffic Fridays?!  This weeks theme was to add snow to your card, which is fitting because here in Calgary we are getting a TON of snow - started snowing Thursday and is suppose to keep coming until Saturday morning!

I was so hoping my new rubbah would be here to play with for this card, but it arrived too late Thursday so I will have some peeks of the new images next week.  I LOVE the look of the new rubbah and that's it's cling mount although now I have to come up with new storage system - suggestions?!

For my card I inked up one of my favourite Uptown Girls - Quinn in her Boots. 

I stamped the image with versafine ink onto watercolour paper then embossed the image with black embossing powder.  I coloured Quinn with distress markers.  Her jacket is coloured with festive berries reindeer.  I just put a drop on my splat pad then used the water colour pen and it worked perfectly! For the "snow" around her boots I used white liquid applique and glitter. The ds paper is Basic Greys aspen mist.  The border is MFT's Chevron Dies with icicles stickles down the centre of them.

Happy Friday!!  Today Bellariffic Fridays is another sketch by Ebruabella - I love having a sketch every 2 weeks!!   For my card I inked up one of the Uptown Girls from Stamping Bella's January release - Lucille sends her Love

Naturally the image is stamped with memento tuxedo black ink onto bella's bestest cream paper.  Now this is where I changed things up - part of the image is coloured with just pencils!  Her hair and skin tone are done with copics, the hearts are a combo of copics and pencils BUT her dress and the shading around the image is done with just pencils and gamsol.  The nice thing about bella's bestest paper is all mediums work beautifully on it!  On the frills of the dress I added some shine with a lemon atyou spica pen.  The dp paper is basic greys two scoops.
