Hi everyone! Happy Bellarific Friday!!Today's Bellarific Friday Challenge was free form, and I can't wait to head on over to Bloggabella and see all of the creations! Today is also the last Bellarific Friday in the new Bella Babe contest!!
For my card today, I used Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge, MTSC88 from this past Tuesday!
I couldn't wait to ink up this ADORABLE Little Peep's Heart from the latest Stamping Bella release! These Little Peeps just melt my heart!! I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Bella's Bestest Cream Paper and colored her with Copic Markers.
I cut out and embossed the image with Rectangle Nestabilities, cutting around the heart so it was "out of the box". I added some Martha Stewart Crystal Glitter to the heart with a glue pen...love how sparkly it is!!
The patterned paper is all from Love Me Do by My Minds Eye, and I used the Die-Namics Jumbo Scallop Die from MFT for the scalloped border and the flower was cut with the Garden Party Blooms Die Set 1 from Taylored Expressions. I added a button from my stash in the center of the flower.
I stamped the sentiment, "I heart you" directly onto the patterned paper in Memento Tuxedo Black. It was tough, but I refrained from using my sewing machine on this card! I find myself using it ALL the time, so I thought I would challenge myself to NOT use it! LOL!!
Now, for some news...today is my last Bellarific Friday as a Bella Babe. It was a VERY difficult decision but I have decided to step down from the Stamping Bella Design Team. Not sure if many of you are aware, but I am expecting my second little one in September and I needed to make some decisions to be able to focus more on my family! I LOVE Stamping Bella and Emily and am SO grateful for the opportunity to be a Bella Babe! It's been a blast and, rest assured, I will be still be showing lots of love for all my Stamping Bella stamps!
Now, make sure to head on over to Bloggabella and leave some love on today's Bellarific Friday post! One lucky commenter will win Bella Bucks!!!
Thanks SO much for stopping by!!
