OK here's the Friday Sketch a day late!! I got most of my stuff moved in to my new studio - I'm just waiting on my mom's husband - he's cutting some wood for me so I can put shelves in the closet to store all my cardstock and patterned paper. Once that's done then I can take pics (mebbe even a video - we'll see tho) to show y'all!!
It felt weird stamping in there this morning - it's nice of course but everything is in a different spot from where it used to be and I kept reaching for things that weren't there LOL!
I really liked the layout I did on this card I posted last week - I made up the sketch for it and decided to use it for this sketch challenge :o)
This card uses Balloonabella from Stamping Bella (did you see there's a free shipping special going on 'till the 11th?? You can find out more here <----click! I just found out about that now and I'm gonna be in trouble - there's 2 new BELLAs and huggabugs and all kinds of stampy goodness. ACK!).
ANYWHO - I stamped the Bella, masked her feet (tutorial here) then grounded her by stamping one of the clear ovals from A Muse.
I used some Copics to color in the image, leaving the dress as I stamped and paper pieced that using this MME paper from the Quite Smitten Collection.
I decided to glitter up the balloons so I used my Quickie Glue pen and some Martha Stewart glitter to make 'em all sparkly.
I added some May Arts ribbon and a couple of Basic Grey Eva buttons (tied on with embroidery thread - it was a leetle tricky tying the little bows with my nails but I did it! LOVE how that turned out).
I finished off the inside of the card using the same patterned papers and some brown and vanilla cardstock.
I die cut a little heart with my nestabilities die and covered that with the same MS glitter and that was it!
