Bellarific Friday: Bella or Stella

Hi all,

Welcome to another Bellarific Friday!  I am SO happy the weekend has arrived, and I'm wishing you all some really lovely weather and some fabulous free time!

If you were reading up on the Bella blog last Friday, you will already have submitted your card for this week, and you will know that our theme was to use a Bella or Stella stamp!  This category left us with a whole world of possibilities!!!

Here's what I decided on:

My card base is Kraft CS, all my patterned papers are from SU's retired Manchester DSP pack, and all my mats are black CS.  The black strip was punched with my Martha Stewart edge punch.

I stamped Giftabella With Hat onto Bella's Bestest Paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured her with Copics.  I cut her out with Classic Oval Nesties and added some Wheat Versamagic ink inside the stencil.  I coloured the ribbon on the present, and the tassles on the hat with some black Atyou Spica Glitter Pen. 
I have to say, this little image is absolutely perfect for so many occasions - a present and a party hat, and you're good to go!

Next week's challenge???  It is a sketch from Ebrubella!  All you have to do is make a card with the sketch using any of the stamps at Stamping Bella, and email it to Emily by Thursday night (emily@stampingbella.com).  You will be entered to win some Bella Bucks, and Em will publish your card on the blog!

Isn't it FAB?  So many ideas.....must...make....card...

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!
