This is the last Bellariffic Friday card for the year. Not sure what
It was stamped on Bella’s white cardstock and coloured it
with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol. A little bit of flocking was added to the top
of the Uggs and the pompom on her hat. The edges were inked with blue ink and
then it was glued to the blue base…but before I glued to the blue base I die
cut both the smallest Spellbinder peony die and a scalloped circle from the
blue because I didn’t know which one I wanted to use and no one sees what’s
under the main image panel anyway so why waste it! I opted for the peony one and
inked the edges just like the card. The stamped sentiment was punched out and
glued on to the peony shape and then it was attached to the card with
dimensional dots. The snow around here feet is Stickles and liquid pearls.
The dark brown piece (from the stash) covers the card base and then I added
the brown strip and matching corner treatments. The strip and corner treatments
are going to be showing up a lot on my cards and scrapbook pages. I was wandering
through the thrift store last week and picked up a package that had several
sheets of these along with scads of alphabets on matching circles. They were
two shades of brown and a purple and brown so they will all mix and match.
There were about 35 sheets of these, 8 or 9 sheets of dimensional dots, some nice
ribbon in various shades still in original packages and some dimensional
butterflies and dragonflies – all for $3.99. Good deal! Glad I picked it up. I
found anything too much at the thrift stores lately though.
Back to the sewing room – yes, still working on Christmas
presents!
Cheers
