I'm gonna post a card I made with a different sheet of Chatterbox patterned paper - don't worry I'll be posting the rest of the cards I made with that Soft Flowering Vine paper soon!! I just felt like sharing some of the other ones I did as I had a blast making them!!
Here's #1. I started off with this patterned paper (I don't remember the exact name of it but it IS Chatterbox paper) and these really pretty Prima Hydrangeas I got from my not-so-local Scrapbook store.
SIDETRACK - I had a friend call me yesterday demanding to know why I was holding out on her. She's seen me refer to my "LSS" (local scrapbook store) on here numerous times and wanted to know why I didn't tell her about it before?? I then told her it's not REALLY local - it's in the city over an hour away from here LOL! But being in small-town Saskatchewan that's about as "local" one can get when it comes to buying stamping/scrapbooking supplies! Here she thought I was getting goodies here in town when I was really going to the one in the city when I'm in there every once in a while! So ya - my "LSS" is REALLY A "NSLSS" - there are you happy now Dawn?????? *grin*
ANYWHO - back to the card!! So ya I got these Prima Hydrangeas - and they ARE really pretty - this is the first time I've ever used them as they've always looked a little "fancy" to me - you know what I mean? But I wanted to buy SOMETHING and the store's Prima selection was pretty sad (and I owned most of what they carried anyway LOL!) so I got these.
SO....I picked out the patterned paper and flowers, pulled out some co-ordinating card stock and accessories, got out my Bella stamps that were DYING to be inked up, along with my new A Muse stamps and whatnot - and started stamping!
I used Billybootabella for this card - stamped her onto Papertrey white CS and colored her in with Copic markers. I masked her boots and stamped the A Muse Small skinny oval in celery ink to "ground" her.
The umbrella was stamped onto a scrap of patterned paper then cut out and adhered over the image (called "Paper-piecing"), and then I added some Coffee Ice Ice stickles to it, her hair and her "belt" (I used a white gel pen and drew the belt and added the dots to her boots - she HAD to have polka dotted boots!)
I finished off the card with the Primas, the brads are Making Memories and sei, some May Arts ribbon (I LOVE that ribbon - I'm gonna have to get more as I only have a little bit left!), and the sentiment which is from A Muse (I specifically got the sentiment to go with this Bella! In fact a bunch of the A Muse sentiments I got were specifically chosen to go with a bunch of my Bellas! LOL) - I then added the three white brads (Bazzill) and voila!
