Happy World Card Making Day Everyone! I hope all of you out there have had a chance to make a card and be creative today!Well the first Bella Challenge has been given on the Bellaholicsanonymous group by LeAnne who is the Embellishment Challenge Queen and her challenge was to add buttons and bows to your Bella cards. So after looking through my Bellas I thought what better Bella to use buttons & bows with than fashionistabella! Then I needed a great sketch to create my card with, so I skipped on over to Jen's blog at I {heart}2 stamp and found just the one. I turned her Sketch For You to Try on its side so it would work for the Bella I was using and since my Bella was so large, my card turned out to be 5 1/2"x5 1/2". This card was fun to create! I'm not sure it shows up that well in the picture, but I embossed the green panel with my paisley embossing folder and used the SU Top Note die for matting this Bella after coloring her with my Copics. Once I had the card layed out I couldn't figure out a place for the saying I wanted to use so I took one of my DD's sewing pins and tacked it on and I think I like it!
Supplies: Fashionistabella, You're Sew Great - Stamping Bella, Ribbon, Buttons, Making Memories Note Worthy designer paper, Cuttlebug embossing, Nestabilities, SU Top Note, Sewing pin, Copics. Colors: Chocolate Chip, Taken with Teal, Assorted Bazzill paper.Be sure to stop by LeAnne's blog and check out her cute Christmas Bella card using buttons & a bow!
Fabulous card Lynn!! I love the CB piece and the buttons are "sew" perfect!! Hugs, Kelly
ReplyDeleteOhh cute! You're right, the perfect bella for this challenge!
ReplyDeleteLynn, this is incredibly cute! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWonderful color combo Lynn! The pin through the sentiment is too cute.
ReplyDeleteOh this is amazingly BEAUTIFUL!!! Great color choices! And your coloring is so perfect!
ReplyDeleteWOW! So darn CUTE! The buttons and straight pin are the perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteThis is great, Lynn!
ReplyDeleteI love how you changed the direction of the sketch. I also LOVE this image!! Is there a easy way to find these images? TayloredExpressions posted one the other day that I loved (trees) and I never did find it on the bella site.
ReplyDeleteAnyway this card brought back memories of when I used to sew so many of my clothes. I loved to sew and even made my own prom dress one year with a "Gunny Sax" pattern. I must have been crazy! I sewed ALL the tiny lace on by hand to make sure it was "perfect". I don't know if they even make Gunny Sax patterns/clothes any more, but it was the rage of the late 70's and early 80's.
I'm so glad to see you working with your Bella's again! All of your cards are amazing, but I especially love your Bella's. Awesome coloring and love all the details!! You rock da bellas!!
ReplyDeleteOMG so cute! You rocked this sketch!
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job on both challenges. I love everything about your card but all your buttons lined up really caught my eye and it brings the card together. I especially like the way you tacked the sentiment on with a pin.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fabulous card!! I think I need to place another Bella order! =)

ReplyDeleteI l-o-v-e this card! The pin was the perfect touch! My mother, sister and I all sewed once upon a time. I used to sew clothes for my first born daughter but then life got too hectic. . . Debbie, I had trouble finding that Bella forest too!
