Hi there! Welcome back for another Bellariffic Friday - this week's Stamping Bella's theme challenge was to use buttons or bows:
I used one of my favorite Uptown Girls: Brigitte the beautiful bride. I used the Spellbinder oval die to cut the portion I wanted from Brigitte (actually her dress is much longer) and then layer her under a frame made from Spellbinder Labels 13 & Floral Florishes dies.
My bow is made from tulle (received from my good friend Gabriella... thanks G!!) and the white buttons are tiny button brads which I've had forever and a day.
SUPPLIES USED:
Stamps:
Stamping Bella: Brigitte the beautiful bride
Paper:
Bella's Bestest paper, Carta Bella "beautiful" & SU's Whisper White
Dies:
SB - Classic Edges 1, Labels 13, Classic Ovals large, Floral Flourishes

I love Bellariffic Friday!! But ... this one? Not so much... it marks the end of my vaaa-caaaaay!! (yes, that was me crying).
But what an incredible week it's been. Love having time off work to relax, regroup and recharge. For me that's reading and making cards... and doing both to excess. It fits the budget too - lol. (Actually the budget probably is the way it is because of what I spend on craft supplies.)
So now I'll stop gabbing and show you my take on today's Bellariffic Sketch Challenge:
Sweet sketch - lots of possibilities. I used Veronica by Mo Manning from Stamping Bella. She comes as a set with the sentiment... and I chose to use the first part on the front and the rest on the inside. Love breaking stamps up like that.
Can you tell I found my stash of pearls?! Yep, probably a little overboard but does Veronica look like she does anything by halves? Nope!
As you can tell I paper pieced her dress (and was tempted to make it longer - hee, hee). I also popped up the gift bag & gift box with foam tape and gave them each a bit of glitter. I also stamped the small present one more time to add to the inside:
Stamps:
Stamping Bella: Veronica by Mo Manning (includes sentiment)
Paper:
Bella's Bestest paper, Whisper White, Certainly Celery, Jillibean (pink) & Creative Imaginations (green)
Dies:
SB... classic oval, labels 4, classic edges 1 (scallop)
Memory Box...meridian border
MFT... royal roses
Punch... Martha Stewart leaf
Copics:
E000, 01, 02
R20, 81, 85
E30, 31, 33, 34, 35, 37
YG11, 13, 25
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Ranger Distress spun sugar
Extras:
sewing machine, adhesive pearls, glitter, foam tape, Cuttlebug swiss dot embossing folder
Have a lovely Friday everyone. Don't forget to head over to Bloggabella to check out all the enteries and if you didn't get a chance to enter a card for your chance to win $20 in Bella bucks, then be sure to leave a comment for your chance to win $10 in Bella bucks. Next week is a theme challenge... "use buttons or bows". Easy peasy.. I might even add a few pearls... if there's any left by then. ;)
So... what to do on my last day off... well... I think I'll make a card!! 8)
Till next time,
Carla.
LOL - no Copics on this one!! Love sillouettes when you want to do a quick card. This sweet Stamping Bella image is Jane Girl by Jane Davenport. It comes with a sweet quote by Walt Disney: "if you dream it, you can do it." So true. I was shooting for a romantic lovey-dovey card to add to my Etsy Store so I chose to use a section of typed designer paper (the name of which I can't remember, sorry... it's straight from my scrap pile).
I raised the small sentiment on dimensionals to make it pop a little more. Butterflies were added with the Martha Stewart trio butterfly punch. I popped a few beads & 2 bows on the pin and I was finished.
