Jinglebellabella

An oldie but a goodie... and another Christmas card for the growing pile.  I used my Copics to colour up Jinglebellabella from Stamping Bella for this one:

I used the Spellbinder rectangle die for the image and then layered onto pieces cut with my new faux stitching die from Lil Inker Designs.  I also used the MFT fancy flourish & Spellbinders Classic Edges one for the scallop border. 

Added lots of pearls, some velvet & satin ribbon... and of course glitter.

I thought the sentiment from Penny Black on the inside went well with this little Bella image. 

Quick post from me tonight, it's a busy week coming up and wanted to share another card before crazy-town took over.  Wishing you all a great week!!  Meet you back here for Bellariffic Friday (sketch challenge in post below).

Till next time,
Carla.

Merry Merry Merry!!

Happy Bellariffic Friday all!!  Happy to be back with a post today.  Today's challenge was to make a Holiday Wishes/Winter Theme card.  With all the incredible Christmas stamps at Stamping Bella it was hard to choose, but I inked up my brand new Uptown Girl Charlie waits by the chimney.  This stamp is part of the new arrivals that are now cling mounted... and stamps like a dream.

Yep, I think I came dangerously close of running out of glitter on this one...lol.  Her entire skirt bottom is covered in glitter as is the top of the dress & trim on hat.  And getting carried away... (as I tend to do)... I softened the edges of the Authentique paper with white ink, added glossy accents and then more glitter all the way around.  This one is a sparkly one for sure!

Here she is in all her glory.  Is there not a more fun Christmas image?  Love her!  Coloured with Copic Markers and mounted on Cherry Cobbler cardstock from SU after running it through the die cutter with the Spellbinder Card Creator A2 Fancy Weave die.  I used a black glaze pen to outline the bricks & added the mandatory (for me...) glossy accents to the bricks, some pearls and ribbon.  Sentiment is from Hero Arts.  See that little fuzzy white ball I added to her hat?  Well I bought a HUGE bag of those at Michael's about 10 years ago and I think that's the first time I ever used one.  Success!

Here's the inside.  A little paper matching and sewing, kept it simple.
