BellaRIFIC friday is here plus a little extra news for my Canadian friends...
First of all I have to tell you that Lindabella and I go back and forth about not being able to post a card if the other one has just done that image...we gotta give you guys time to forget about it before you see how we each turned around and re-did it. It's just our 'thing" I guess you could call it. So when I went to Bella to get my June order, I had 'cakey watt' waiting for me, but who posted a stunning little boy card using him...Lindabella! uggg, I figured, well, it's gonna be a while until I can do him up. but.... I got a request for him and I caved. I just knew I could go ahead and do it, even though it won't be near as cool as Lindabella's one. She used blues, I needed to do mine kinda different. Long story short, here is mine and he is colored using the Cosmo Cricket paper as my inspiration...looks totally different from Lindabellas, and it worked out perfectly with this weeks sketch challenge!! whew, that was a mouthfull!
Now, looking at it a few days later...I should have added something to the cake! waaaaaa, he's already outta here. ok, hope the little boy getting it likes it!
The deets are pretty simple here gang...I colored this on the paper that Emily is carrying in her store... I think she is calling it Bella paper and I hear it was awesome with copics...Lindabella LOVED it! I think it's pretty dang groovy with my pencils and I have plenty to keep me going for a while. {if I get a link to it on Stamping Bella, you can check it out1} So this little guy is colored with my prismacolor pencils...I think I can hear my Lyras crying...I need to show them some lovin' :) Dp is Cosmo Crickets 'snorkel' line I swear if I had to live with one company's paper, this would be it! I used nesties and my clear glaze pen **** which is supposed to be available from Stamping Bella!! You gotta grab one of these if you don't have one, or two!!
Check out da Bella's blog later and see what else my Babe friends have done and how many of you all have participated!! It's my favorite part of friday!!
****Now for the news I been finalizing with da Bella... I am going to be in Toronto with my mom, who has never been. {Just the two of us since no one else, except my dad...has a passport.} I told Emily I was on vacation the week of Aug 24th-29th and I would be dropping by...well, seems I am gonna hang out and make some cards! What the heck, I am gonna teach a couple classes on Sunday the 23rd. If there is really much interest, I will be available for Monday too, but then I am officially a tourist and will spend a couple days sight seeing. It will be a pencil class of course and I have no idea yet exactly what I wanna color, something new! but they will probably be cute cards...lol until we meet again over ink and pencil shavings...see ya soon!!
This is awesome, the colors just jump out at you.
