Fluffy Sweet Sunday 122

Happy Sunday!  I hope everyone is having a great weekend.  Karen has a great sketch (SSSC122) for us this week; very clean and simple - so much so that I didn't even consider flipping the sketch!!

My card today is a little outside my "normal " box.  This week Em had a tutorial on her blog about Peerless Watercolours - hmmm I have those & never use them SOOO she inspired me to dig them out and try them out again.

I inked up Stamping Bella's Fluffy Flower Head with Statz on ink onto water colour paper and inked up my Peerless water colours.  I used 2 different colours, a pink and a yellow (sorry I didn't write down the colours)  I then cut out the flower and the centre of the flower I paper pieced on to give it some dimension.  I then added some glamour dust glitter to the inner circle of the flower.  I added some decorative flowers and stitched around the layers.

Please stop by the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers blogs to see their creations and remember if you play along with us this week link your card on Karen's blog.

It's Sweet Sunday 109

Happy Sunday!  Karen has a fabulous sketch this week for SSSC109 

I originally planned to make a lovely spring time image BUT here in Calgary we are under a winter storm advisory!  Yep some reports are saying up to 20cm (about 8") before Monday morning - now others are saying only about 5-10 cm so lets hope they're the ones who are right!  Sadly it's very common  for us to have a snowstorm this time of year so I went with the perfect image from Stamping Bella - BOOTS!!  The image is stamped on bella's bestest cream paper and coloured with copics.  The ds paper is Crate Papers Snow Day collection.

Please stop by the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers blogs to see what they have created with the sketch & I hope you can play along with us this week.  Remember to link you card on Karen's blog!

Heartfelt Coffee

I'm not much of a valentines day card person but I do love Zoe the Hearty Mug Girl from Stamping Bella's Green Bean Baby's stamps 

I used Karen G's Sweet Sunday Sketch (SSSC99) and stamped Zoe is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics.  I then cut the image out and mounted it onto another piece of bella's bestest paper cut a nesties. I used a red atyou spica pen on the heart and for the rhinestones I coloured clear rhinestones with a copic.  The ds paper is my minds eye's fine and dandy tickled pink.

Thanks so much for stopping by - see you Friday for Bellariffic Fridays (did you see Em has a sneak peek of her January release on Bloggabella!!)

Back in the Groove

Well the holidays are over and hubby's back at work so I have my house to myself again!  I love having hubby around BUT he can't stay home so we are out and about all the time which means no stamping time - I can hardly wait until spring hits so he can golf!!

Today I have a Christmas card (yes I'm already starting on 2011 cards) to share with you.  I wanted to play along with Karen's Sweet Sunday sketch (SSSC98) and I wanted to ink up one of my new stamps - Lulu's snowman.  The image is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics.  For the falling snow I used liquid dimension and glitter.  For the trim on the scarves and hat I used white liquid applique and heated it to give it the look of fluff. The ds paper is basic grey's eskimo kisses.

Next Friday (Jan 14) we are back with Bellariffic Fridays, and it's a sketch!!!  Email Em (emily@stampingbella.com) by Thursday Jan 13 to be included - you could win Bella bucks & something tells me you might want them for this month!!

Thanks for stopping by

Peeps Birthday Wishes

Happy Monday!  We still have fall weather here, the rumour is it's suppose to warm up for the weekend; I'll believe it when I see it!   I have a few more images coloured from when I was at my parent's and Little Peeps Flower Vase was the perfect shape for Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch (SSSC86) from this week.

The image was stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper & coloured with copics.  I paper pieced the flowers and added some clear rhinestones that I coloured with copics.  For the water in the vase I coloured the image with B0000 then added some clear glaze & glamour dust glitter. The ds paper is echo parks life is good patterned paper.

This weeks Bellariffic Fridays challenge is paper pieRcing or sewing.  Email your card to Em by Thursday & don't forget to upload your card to Forumabella!!  Em says she has a surprise for us all on Wednesday so make sure you stop by Bloggabella on Wednesday!!

Thanks Karen for another great sketch - I hope you all have a chance to play along with the Sweet Sunday sketch this week

Sweet Sunday

I hope you had a great weekend - ours was smokey from the massive forest fires in British Columbia; but finally it's cleared up; I can't imagine how bad it must be right near the fires.  I am voiceless from the smoke so I would be a disaster if I was closer!!

Since I was stuck in the house I actually stamped on the weekend!!  I played along with Karen G's Sweet Sunday sketch(SSSC82) from today (that never happens!).  I inked up Kenya Ketto (when I was in Montreal I saw all the dishes & decorations you can buy with Ketto's on them - CUTE!!)  The image is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics.  Along the black dots I used black ultra fine glitter.  For the centre of the flower and wand I used a black rhinestone.  The DS paper is from October Afternoons Fly a Kite line.

Just a reminder this weeks Bellariffic Fridays challenge is FREE FORM.   We are still searching for our next Babe, and the competition is strong!!  Email your cards to Em by Thursday & please include your blog details on your image.

The new BELLA FORUM is up & running on Stamping Bella - now you can share your cards with all the sistahs!!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day
