I gotta ask...did you guys cruise through the Bella Hop yesterday?? WOW, it's about the best word I have to describe the amount of amazing cards! I personally had to finish 90% of it at home because there was just to much to look at, without distraction! lol
For our BellaRIFFIC friday today, I have another tribute to Ms. Bella...Little Emmy...
Is she NOT cute as a button?? I could seriously just squeeze her!
I colored her with my prisma pencils and blended with gamsol. Her skintones are done with my copic colors E0000, E000, E00, a touch of burnt ochre &R20 for the cheeks. The paper I used is from October Afternoon, an 8x8 pad. I used my nesties {of course} and some clear glaze pen & lots of glitter on the pink skirt. Now, this stamp does come with it's own little sentiment, "having one of those daysssss", and I put it on the inside of the card because I needed a smaller sentiment if I was gonna follow the sketch. {usually I try to!}
Well amigos, I need to keep this short and sweet today. Have a wonderful day and an even better weekend!! love, paula
By the way, if somehow you missed the new releases from Bella, that came out yesterday, you should check them out...ECObella is gonna be mine!!
Oh my gosh. Adorable. Incredible coloring and color combining too.
