It's Sketch Time

Happy Friday - where the heck did this week go?!  This weeks Bellariffic Fridays theme was a sketch by Lindabella

For my card I inked up a Tiddly Inks image - Alice.  The image is stamped onto bella's bestest cream cs and coloured with copics.  I paper pieced the cup & her hands.  On the cup and her shoes I used a clear glaze pen for shine.  On her hairband I used a black glaze pen. The ds paper is MME Stella & Rose - Gertie which I added some stitching to.

Please make sure you stop by Bloggabella to see the rest of the creations by the babes and sistahs, leave a comment & you could win some Bella Bucks!

Next weeks theme is FREE FORM- anything goes (as long as it's a stamping bella image)  Email your cards to Em by Thursday to be part of next weeks Bellariffic Friday

Have a great day

Sweet Sunday Sketch 112

Happy Sunday!  I hope you're having a great weekend I'm so happy we are actually having spring like temps this week - no snow storm!  Because of these temps and the sun shining I'm feeling like spring and all the flowers & green that should be coming (as soon as the snow goes!)  Here's Karen's sketch for this week:

We needed a sympathy card for a friend of ours whose mother passed away last week - she was an amazing woman who would have been 97 this June, and was the oldest person to carry the torch last year for the Olympics!  Hubby & I were both honoured to spend time with this special lady so with her in mind I made this card

The image is from Stamping Bella called Flower Garden and it's stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with caran d'ashe pencils and mineral spirits.  In the centre of the flowers I added a little bit of glamour dust glitter.  On the old olive cardstock I used a birds and swirls cuttlebug folder.  I didn't add anything where the stars are; I just couldn't get anything to work with the tone of my card.

Monochromatic Bellariffic

Happy Friday - I hope you had a great week!  Did you see the release at Stamping Bella on Tuesday?! My order was done on Tuesday; can't wait for it to arrive!!

This weeks Bellariffic Fridays theme was Monochromatic which I usually find difficult but this week but because of these sweet new 3 Little Mermaids under the Sea it came together super easy!

The image is stamped on bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics.  I paper pieced the leaves and popped up the flowers and the star.  On the star I added some aqua stickles for shine.  In the centre of the flowers I used some teal rhinestones.  I even managed to find some matching thread to stitch around the bottom layer of my card.  The DS paper is from MME's Stella & Rose - hazel (yes I have an addiction to this line!!)

Make sure you stop by Bloggabella to see all the creations & make sure you leave a comment you could win some bella bucks.

Next weeks theme is a sketch!!  They are my favourite as you know & this one was created by the amazingly talented Lindabella

Thanks for stopping by,

Finally....

I was able to find some time and play along with MFTWSC14!!  I was so excited when MFT announced they would have weekly sketch challenges, but the last little while I haven't gotten my act together to play along - I hope I can keep up with playing along so my MFT stamps get some lovin'!

For my card I inked up the Sweet PI girl - You're so Tweet.  The image is stamped with mementos ink and coloured with copics.  I paper pieced her dress, belt & heart (they are one piece I'm not that crazy to cut those out separately!!)  I stamped the image onto my circle base; which is from the ds paper by basic grey - hello luscious, and paper pieced the girl and the bird.  I added some black ribbon and some rhinestones from my stash.  I even put a sentiment on this one & I have to say I do like how "tweet" it turned out!

I hope you have a great day - they are using the "s" word in our forecast again today & I don't mean Sunshine!  Hopefully it will just be rain to help clear away all the snow from the weekend

Sweet Sunday Sneak Peek

Happy Sunday  - Karen has another fabulous  Sweet Sunday sketch for us this week (SSSC111)

For my card I'm excited to share with you a sneak peek of a new stamp from Stamping Bella (available on Tuesday)  This is one of 3 in a set of Baby Mermaids (part of the Green Bean Baby line) being released & I have to tell you the other 2 are just as cute; although I am partial to this ones hair!!  Jessabella will have a peek of another one (or 2?!) later in the week.

The image is on bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics.  I paper pieced her fin & added some glitter with an aqua spica pen.  For her flower and leaves I paper pieced it and only attached the centre so it pops up a little.  I then paper pieced the flower again for more dimension.  For her pearl I went with a pink atyou spica pen.  I added some prima flowers and rhinestones.  The ds paper is from MME Oh La La

April Showers....

When I made my page for April I went with the theme April Showers bring May Flowers.

HG Rain Rain digi from the Greeting Farm was perfect for this & being a digi I could make her the perfect size!!  The image is printed on neenah cs and coloured with copics.  I added some tiny rhinestones for the buttons on her coat and for the rain I used stickles.

SADLY here in Calgary this is what we woke up to - April SNOW showers!!!  Yep that's the view from my stamp room; it's suppose to snow & high winds all day  so all you girls with sunshine and hot temps I hope you're enjoying them!!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day
