...remember the winnie the pooh song..."i'm just a little black rain cloud...hovering under the honeytree...i'm just a little black rain cloud...pay no attention to little me." That was the tune to my day yesterday and maybe it's lifting. Time will tell when I hit save on this here blog and it goes smoothly. I was just having problem after problem on here and I am not a techie at all! lol
I {{heart}} winnie the pooh, and as soon as I saw this little guy... I {{hearted}} him as well. This is from Stamping Bella, remember I told you they weren't only Bella's & sassy Stella's!
Seeing the turtle and the butterfly playing is just too cute. I originally thought I would make a boys bithday card, but I decided that if someone sent this to me I'd love to get it! I colored this with my Lyra colored pencils and blended with gamsol. I added a wee bit of sparkle on the butterfly wings and on the turtle shell stripes. I decided to not make a naked card and added my sentiment 'bestest friend' to the front.
Did ya check out the new stamps and papers added to the Stamping Bella shop? I looked yesterday and while I saw lots of rubber 'eye candy'....I LOVE the peekaboo Bella! Guess what's gonna be on my next order!! hehe Check out the new stuff here...Basic Grey Wisteria, Lime Ricky...
Tick-tock, time is running out for the Bella's Friday-RIFFIC challenge, so ya gotta get your card to Emily by thursday. That is one busy sistah loading all those awesome cards for her post...glad I don't have ta do it...shhhhhh, sorry Emily. ;) Check out this post for all the deets and see ya soon!!
This is darling...love the shading you added around the main image as well as all the sewing!

Oh my gosh, this is absolutely adorable!! Your coloring is always fabulous. I looked at the sun and thought for sure you that you airbrushed it, but the lady says Lyra - gorgeous! And, b.t.w., I adore the colors and would love to get it :)

That little turtle is so incredibly sweet! I have to say, seeing the images in black and white on the Bella site and then seeing them in color on your blog - not the same!!!
My wish list keeps growing with each visit I pay to your blog! ;D
