This has been one BUSY week around here and I'm not talking about how many posts I've made. LOL
Today is Bellarific Friday and the theme from last week's challenge was "Celebrate Good Times". Like my sentiment says, I think there's something to celebrate in every day. I've used Stamping Bella's "Flower Garden" for my card and for a change drug out my Derwent watercolor pencils to try a little watercoloring. There's also a tiny bit of Stickles here and there for some glimmer.
You can find all my teammates creations over at Blogabella. The new challenge is a sketch.
We'd love to have you play along. Just grab any Stamping Bella image you might have and use the sketch. Em gives away $50.00 vouchers to one lucky monthly winner.
Enjoy your weekend!
Supplies:
Paper--My Mind's Eye "In Bloom", Bazzill, Recollections, The Paper Studio vellum, Artist's Loft 90 lb. watercolor paper
Stamps--Stamping Bella "Flower Garden", sentiment from Precious Remembrance Shop "New Day"
Ink--Derwent watercolor pencils, Versamark
Tools--MFT Die-namics Fishtail Flags Stax, Uchida heat gun, Bow Easy
Miscellaneous--Celebrate It ribbon, Ranger Silver embossing powder, Stardust Stickles
Tracy, this is beautiful. Your colouring with those pencils is magnificent - I love the colour tones in the flowers - so real looking. Great layering and love the way you used vellum - I have started to use it on my cards as well, adds another layer, but gives it an 'airy' feel. Fabulous card - have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteSo soft and pretty ... Love the little touches of sparkle
