Howdy! I cannot believe tomorrow is Wednesday already! One of my fun-loving coworkers emailed me and stated "I hope you are enjoying your summer because its almost OVER!" Yea, thanks for reminding me! LOL
Anyway, a nice Splitcoast WRAK group member sent me some Stamping Bella Matilda Muffinbread images last week. I took a break from sewing yesterday to color a couple of images. I had intended to use the patterned paper on the funky flower in my previous post, but then I decided to just use polka dots! I actually really like this card and layout - nice and easy!
I actually needed a couple of "flat" cards anyway. I sponsor a little girl named Liliana in Colombia through
Compassion and they say you shouldn't send bulky mail since it can get caught up in customs etc. I thought she would like this cute little image - her birthday is next month - the same day as mine. I actually chose a child with my birthday so that I would always remember when it was. :-) I get letters and drawings from her several times a year, which is really fun. I think I've been sponsoring her for about 5 or 6 years now I think and its been neat to see her writing style, coloring skills, and penmanship improve as she has gotten older.
Anyway, I hope you are all having a great week! I am sooo jealous of those who are able to go to CHA in Orlando! One day I will be there!
Thanks for stopping by!
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Stamping Bella - Matilda Muffinbread; PTI - Everyday Classics, Polka Dot Basics 2
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa, Copic markers, Sakura glitter pen
Paper: SU! Chocolate Chip; PTI Aqua Mist
I kept the layout simple and used some Copics to color it all in. Pretty basic, but I think she enjoyed getting this card in the mail ... which was the whole goal! :-)
I really love the Hibiscus Burst and Aqua Mist from PTI with SU!'s Pink Pirouette - just so girly! I colored the Causabella image with Copics and kept the layout pretty simple. The Bazzill "Just the Edge" strips are so great - already punched out and ready to go. 
Please excuse my poor photo - I don't have much of an editing program on this laptop. I think this turned out really cute. The paper, sentiment, and image are from the kit. I colored the Bella, cut her out and stacked everything on a 4-1/4" square card. I happened to have enough of this Rose Red (by SU!) card stock and that scalloped black piece in my scrap stash with me to make this. Love it! The Bella and the sentiments were cut out and popped up on foam tape. It's hard to see in the photo, but I added some glitter with a Sakura pen around the edges of the sentiment and also on the girl's bags, etc.

I hope to be back later this weekend with some more cards - lots of ideas floating around in my mind ... just need some time! :-)
