Have A Purrrrrrrfect Day!

Hi everyone! Happy Bellarific Friday!!

Today's challenge is this FAB sketch from Paulabella!!! For my card, I used the ADORABLE Swingin' Mavis from Stamping Bella and I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Bella's Bestest Paper.

I colored her with Copic Markers and using some Colorless Blender re-inker and a textured paper towel, I added some texture to Mavis.

I used my new favorite paper again, Togetherness by Cosmo Cricket, and I sewed the layers on my sewing machine.

I used some red grosgrain ribbon to separate my two panels and created a bow with the Bow Easy and attached it to the bottom of the focal panel.

The sentiment, "Have a purrrrrrfect day!" is also from Stamping Bella, and I stamped it and then cut it in panels and attached it underneath the focal panel.

Next Friday is the last Bellarific Friday of the Bella Babe contest! There is no theme...it's a free for all! Make sure to send your best Bella creation to Emily by next Thursday evening to be entered!!!

Thanks SO much for stopping by!!
