!!Hola friends!!
Have you been trying to decide what to buy over at Stamping Bella? I mean really, life should be so hard, right? I asked Emily where the 'gotta-have-it-all' button was. When she shot me down about making me one, I had to load up the shopping basket. Now I'm waiting for Mr. UPS to toss a package on my deck.
I have been busy loading my cards up in my Splitcoaststampers gallery, so you may have seen this card in the forum, or maybe on Emily's blog. But, just in case you missed her...check out Lucille. Yeah, she's an UPTOWN Girl!!
...and I am in L.O.V.E. with her. She colored up pretty darn quick, until I got to layering all the Sakura clear glaze pen on the hearts. {you need to let each layer dry a bit before adding another. if not, the still damp paper might scratch away while you are laying down the next clear layer}
Lucille comes with a fun little sentiment and I placed it across her long legs. I figured, with legs that long, who'd notice. Sprinkled with glitter and loaded with LOVE, Lucille is perfect for Valentine's Day or any time you wanna spread the love. :)
..card recipe:
Finished size is 5 1/2" x 61/2", Bazzill cs, Bella's BESTEST paper {for image}, Crate Paper 'Paper Heart' 6x6 pad, 'Lucille' UPTOWN Girl w/ sentiment from Stamping Bella, memento ink, colored pencils, gamsol/OMS, Sakura clear glaze pen, glitter & sewing.
Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend, I am making some soup and chilling {I mean keeping WARM} at home today. Don't forget our sketch for friday's challenge.
STUNNING! Wow Paula she is gorgeous- love the soft aqua DP in the background it makes Lucille pop! Fabulous job as always! Oh and love your new blog look - yes very fresh and clean looking!
