Whoops!... I mean Bellariffic Friday!! (but with a margarita twist... lol)
In my goal to get moving on some Christmas cards, I've decided to do a Christmas-y version of Uptown Girl Madison has a Margarita (I'm secretly thinking of changing this to Carlabella has a Margarita... I think it's important that I really identify with my Stamping Bella stamps, you know???... especially this one... I should really be drinking a margarita while making a card like this... yes, I'm THAT dedicated!...)
LOL! I'm teasing actually because I'm not much of a drinker to be honest. But I do have a lot of great memories of margaritas shared with really good friends at The Lone Star here in Kingston.
Okay - enough boozy chat. Today's card is based on Stamping Bella's Sketch #23. I only used the top portion of Madison (sorry Madison...) and coloured her with Copic Markers and used papers from Basic Grey & Authentique. I used the MFT notebook edge die along with Spellbinders Classic Ovals. I was thrilled to have a bit of ribbon with the words "Christmas Cheer" and of course it goes without saying that I need to replenish my stash of pearls..............
For my inside I used only the upper portion again of Madison just lightly with SU Cranberry Crisp & stamped the sentiment with a Hero Arts Christmas set I have.

I think there must one day be a Carlabella. Your skill with these stamps is amaaazing. Beautiful card. For me, the drink would have to be soda water with a lemon twist though. Lol!
