Egg-stra special...

Hello again! 

It's a review weekend at Sweet November Stamps and since spring is definitely in the air in my neck of the woods, I was inspired to color up more cuties from the Postage Pals: Hoppy Easter set. Once again I started with the A2 postage collage die from Waffle Flower and filled each square with bunnies, chicks and one adorable duckling. The Year Round Post Marks set adds to the postage theme and I stamped a larger sentiment onto a banner to span across the card. It feels good getting another card done using this set because Easter will be here before we know it! 

I will be coloring more Easter sweeties over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page at 11am PST today... I hope to see ya there! :)

Hello!

I'm back on the Bellariffic blog with another fun Scenic Saturday. With the new Cheer and Charm digital release just having been added to the shop, I thought it would be perfect to use one of the digi images for my card today. I'm so tickled that the digi versions of the old Rosie and Bernie images now come with an additional option that leaves Rosie's hair open for coloring, that I couldn't resist printing out Rosie Loves Bernie the Unicorn.
 

Because I knew that I wanted to stamp the Mountain View Backdrop behind them, I printed Rosie Loves Bernie the Unicorn twice, once on Copic X-Press It coloring card stock and once on thin computer paper. This way I can cut the thin version into the perfect mask that then allows me to layer the backdrop over. Once the scene was complete and the mask removed I could begin coloring. An arching rainbow seemed to be something special for these two magical friends to be looking at so I colored that in first, then I added the puffy clouds all around it. The rolling green hillside and babbling brook came to life quickly, leaving only Rosie and Bernie left to color. The sentiment at their feet comes with this image and because it is digital I was able to shrink it down to fit the space. I hope you are excited for the new digital offerings at Stamping Bella and will add some to your crafty stash.

Stay crafty my friends!

You're the sweetest...

Hey, hey! 

I've had this sweet scene all stamped up and just sitting on my desk since the release of the Lakewood collection at Purple Onion Designs last year. It kept getting pushed, probably because I always thought it looked very spring-ish. Well, here we are coming into the spring season and it was finally time to give it some color. The scene features Clyde Picking Flowers with Clarence Picking Flowers and they are standing in the Field Flowers Patch that I stamped at the very bottom of the card. Up above I stamped the Summer Neighborhood to create some interest in the background and even added a mountain range by hand, pushing the scene even further back. Once everything was all colored up I stamped the large scripty sentiment to fill the cloudy sky. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hey there!

Here we are with the fourth and final Fae-bruary Fairy digi at Sweet November Stamps. Every Wednesday of this month we have added a unique, new fairy to the store along with a weekly fairy themed challenge added in the Friends of Sweet November Stamps Facebook group. For this final week we are introducing Granny Thistleblossom, a wise, old fairy who is quick of wit and even quicker with a smile. I paired her with the Cozy Fall Critters: Tree House and a cute firefly from the Fairy Sleepover: Foxglove Accessory set because I wanted to capture Granny enjoying an evening stroll. The challenge this week is to include a moon and/or stars on your fairy card and I hope you will join us in the Sweet November Fae-bruary challenges because we've got a fab digi prize for everyone who completes them all by the deadline next week.  :)

Later gators!

Scooting by to say hi...

Hi there! 

I got an order from The Greeting Farm over the weekend and I couldn't wait to ink up this cute new Anya called, Scooting By Anya. The set has so many great extras included that I was able to put together this entire scene using just the one stamp set. Anya herself is sporting a mod 60's go-go look that is so super cute, especially with that bobbed hair of hers. I colored her four-legged friend into a golden retriever chasing along behind her. Together they are enjoying a beautiful spring day, on their way to hang out with friends.  :)

Toodles!
