Bellarina!


So today, I made a card...

About three years ago I jumped on the Bella bandwagon. Then I got on lots of DT's. I spent the next year scrambling to meet all my DT and GuestDT goals and deadlines. I am now down to two DT's. I have been having so much fun using stamps from other companies!! I loved all the companies I designed for; however, if you get on too many DTs, and you are a wife, mother and teacher, you literally have time ONLY for the DT stuff. For about a year, I did not stamp with anything else.

I am reminded of why I loved Bella stamps. They are pretty and easy to color. I colored her with markers and Niji paints. I used Apricot Appeal as my base, and added some DCWV glitter paper, an OTC brad, and a bit of stray ribbon. This is a 10 minute card!

oh. my. See? I canNOT do this kind of card, and I would KILL to be able to cuz Veronica loves the Bellas, and has sent me quite a few -- I look at them, they talk to me, but they do NOT cooperate when I try to make a card. I always end up ... somber or edgy or just somehow NOT in keeping with their fun spirits. This is perfection!
