Stamping Bella - Uptown Girls

Here is a card I made using another of the Stamping Bella Uptown Girls, this one is called Opal the Optimist and I have stamped her using Memento Ink in Summer Sky onto Craftwork Cards Digital Cardstock and coloured with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Hair - E23/E25/E27
Clothing - R20/R21/R22/R24/BG10/BG11
Bottle - W2/W3/R00
I have kept this card very simple just using three small scraps of paper and a small scrap of cardstock. The papers are all by Echo Park Birthday Girl Mini Theme Kit. The banner was cut from one of the pieces of paper in the collection and I added a couple of sentiment stamps the main one being by Inkadinkado from their quote stamp range, and the fabulous one is be Hero Arts. I also created a cocktail glass out of bling to finish off.

Stamping Bella - Uptown Girl...

Don't know about you, but I love these girls....if I could I would own them ALL....

So here is a card I made with one of them...

So I have used Faith the Fairy, and again I wanted to try the "no lines" colouring as I wanted to see if it worked better with different stamps...I stamped her onto Craftwork Cards Digital Cardstock with Memento Ink in Summer Sky and coloured her with Copics... I think I prefer how this one came out compared to last weeks Magnolia image...and the only thing I did differently was to use a pen to make the eyes stand out again..

So the papers on this card are all My Minds Eye Find Your Wings and Fly - Up & Away paper pad. I have added some MME Washi Tape and also some stickers...all from the same range. The "hold fast to your dreams" bit was cut from one of the sheets of paper in the pad, and I finished off with a doily, some twine, a Craftwork Cards tag sentiment and used the sentiment that comes with the image.

Be sure to pop back tomorrow to see what I have to share with you...

Friday Sketchers #66

Here is a card I made last night using this weeks sketch over on Friday Sketchers. The main image is another of the cute new Stamping Bella "Ketto" range, this one is called "Phoebe Ketto". I have coloured her with my Copics and layered her using my Nestabilities. The patterned papers are all from the DCWV "The Green Stack" and I have layered them with Bazzill cardstock. I have also added some Anita's ribbon and various flowers (inc some from wildorchidcrafts.co.uk) from my stash and all finished off with a sentiment by Craftwork Cards.

Thanks to the Friday Sketchers for their fab inspiration and also to the super talented Carole for her sketch.

Stamping Bella Ketto Stamps

I got these super cute Stamping Bella stamps on Friday from Stampeze...via Marlene who went and collected them for me...thanks Hun. They are so cute and diddy, that I couldn't resist inking them up and making a card.

I have used "Charlotte Ketto" and I coloured her (carefully, she is small) with my Copics and cut and layered using my Nestabilities. I have used some yummy MME "Bloom & Grow" papers layered with Coredinations cardstock. I also added a scrap of ribbon, a pin and some flowers held with a spacer and Doodlebug sugar coated brad all from my stash. The sentiment has been created using a die-cut from Craftwork Cards layered up using my oval and scalloped oval punches from Stampin' Up. Georgia thinks this stamp looks like her...and I even coloured her with "yellow" (blonde) hair...just like Georgia.

Still working on moving my stash back into my Craft Room. Progress is slow and steady, but progress is being made and I am tidying the space up as I go....fingers crossed it will be finished by Tuesday/Wednesday (before I am on holiday).
