YEAH!!! Today we are celebrating the sweet Chiciboulie's from Stamping Bella, with their very own Chi-Chi Hop! Now if you just stopped by today and have the urge to Hop, you can start at the very beginning with Emily!
As a little treat for joining, you can leave comments along the way, because one of us girls is giving away $25.00 Bella Bucks! Spooky sweet, huh? The winner will be announced in the Bella forum on friday and with all the new release rubber... all the extra Bucks = more STAMPS!! lol
Let's get ya started, ok? I pulled out a Chi-Chi that I have not colored for a very long time... Georgina Glamourpuss. It's funny, because she is what I colored the first time I was in Bellaland. You
know how things happen then...your rubber collection grows and you just don't get back to those favs like you want too. {yeah, there is that day job and family that needs some attention...LOL}
A few deets on Georgina... I stamped her out on Bella's bestset paper and colored her with Prismacolor pencils, blending with gamsol. The patterned paper is the Porcelain line from Basic Grey {it looked like spa inspiring paper}, and I used some of Bella's glittery dots. Emily packaged assortments of colors for the shows that she did in downtown Toronto and I had to grab a few yummy combos. She added more color combos, so I will grab those in a few weeks... The ribbon is from a local store and I had yet to use it, til now. It went well with my card and I was so happy when I pulled it outta my drawer and it matched!! Small accents of glitter, white glaze pen {they make more than clear & black!} and Marvy liquid applique and the card is done!
Hope my Georgina inspires you to indulge in a little pampering today, or even a little shopping! {Jim doesn't know I treated myself to some Bose in-ear headphones yesterday...}
Next up I am sending you to see what my talented sistah Babe!! Karen has for us! Have a great time looking at all the Chi-Chi's!!
wow! I adore the soft coloring on this. awesome.
