A flower for Mrs. Billie


     Hello Stamping Bella fans!  It's Bellarific Friday and I have a card to share with you today using the lovely Flower for a Friend stamp set.  I used my pencils for this one and the sketch for the last challenge.


     I still need a LOT of practice with my pencils.


     Next weeks challenge is "One layer wonder".
     To play along just use a Stamping Bella image (make sure you use something that's currently in the store stock) and the theme requirements.  Get your project photographed and emailed to Em at (emily at stampingbella dot com) with Bellarific Friday challenge and the date of the challenge in the subject line by Thursday evening.  Em offers a $25.00 Bella Bucks prize to one lucky winner every month.
     You can find all the wonderful DT creations as well as those who participated in the sketch challenge over at Blogabella.
     
     Be blessed!

Oh, Tracy, your coloring is amazing, no matter what you use. I think your pencil coloring is so delicate and soft for this flower! Perfection! I've not mastered it and am still with my Copics and am having a little fun with watercolor! Beautiful card, and I love the sketch for this with your beautiful DP!! Hugs, sweet friend!

This is a truly perfect take on that fun sketch, Tracy, and your pencil coloring looks fabulous! I think it's kinda tough to shade with pencils, and you nailed it. I really love that you chose purple for your flower, too. Really is a nice contrast to the colors in the papers!

A great sketch and I love the gorgeous papers you have used. Your pencil colouring suits the delicate nature of the image too.
