A Bella Recipe

Happy Monday! It's time for another challenge over at Bella Digi Studio. This week's challenge is a recipe created by the talented Jana.

Recipe:

3 patterned papers (one can be embossed)

2 embellishments

1 image

1 sentiment

The weather has taken a nice change for the cooler here in Philly and I'm looking forward to fall. So I thought I'd make an autumn card. I used the Gherkin Sprite image from the Little Wings collection and stamped some leaves around the edge. The papers are from My Mind's Eye - Bloom and Grow collection, along with some brown craft paper. I added some distress crackle paint in picket fence around the edges of some the pieces and the flower.

Bella's Monday Challenge

It's time for another challenge over at Bella Digi Studio. This challenge was use one of the Bella digital backgrounds on your card. I choose the Wood Grain Scroll Border background along with Snooty Kitty from the Little Furries collection and the Hello Dear Friend sentiment. For the background stamp, I change the scroll color to brown and then added some pink with my copics. The flowers were made with my Quickutz die. The cardstock is from DCWV Garden Party. I kept it pretty simple. Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by.

Sketch Wednesday Over at Bella Digi Studio

It was my turn to create the sketch over at the Bella Digi Studio challenge blog. This is my first sketch so I kept it pretty simple. For my card, I used the Pity Kity image from the Little Loves collection. The two squares were embossed with a Sizzix folder and distressed with Chipped Sapphire and the larger rectangle embossed with a Cuttlebug folder and then sanded for added texture. The sentiment is a rubber stamp from Fiskars and was cut out using one of my Nestabilities.

Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by.

Peppermint Kisses

Hello. Hope everyone had a great weekend. The challenge this week over at Bella Digi Studio is to use velvet or flocking. I've never used flocking before so I ran over to AC Moore and picked some up. I used the freebie that was offered and is part of the July new releases. It's called My New Coat and she's just adorable, isn't she??? I decided to use a winter theme for her. I colored her with Copics and added some white glittery flocking to her ear muffs, fur on the coat and around her boots. I added some distress ink around the image with spun sugar, then went over that with barn door. I used a rubber stamp to emboss the design on each side and used fired brick distress embossing powder. I made the circle sentiment myself and added some peppermints with a Martha Stewart punch.

Please stop over at the challenge blog and see what the other DT members have done and leave some love. Thanks.

Happy Monday!

Bella Digi Studio Challenge #6

Happy Monday! Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. It's time for the Monday challenge over at Bella Digi Studio. I have the honor of being this week's challenge boss and chose to use distressing as the theme for this week's challenge. I used the Dee-Dee image from the Little Loves collection and the sentiment is from the Gimme a Hug collection. She's colored with Copics. I used distress inks on all the edges. The flowers are from Wild Orchids. The paper is from K&C Company. I also used DCWV cardstock and craft paper and the leaves were made with a MS punch.
