The Stamp Basket DT - Bella with presents

I've not had chance to post anything for the last few days, but I have still been making - just not anything I could share yet... I'll have 2 posts today though, as I've got my Waste Not Wednesdays card to show you later.

So this one is my card for The Stamp Basket blog, using the super sweet Bella from Wild Rose Studio...

Items available from The Stamp Basket

Wild Rose Studio - Bella with presents stamp

Prima papers - Sunkiss

Dovecraft white flat lace 2 1/4" (distressed slightly with DIs, to match the cream card blank better)

Berisfords satin ribbon - aqua

Whimsy - corner dies set

The Hobby House - pearls

I've coloured Bella with promarkers and flexmarkers, and I also found my Viva pearl pen - I've only been searching for it for about 6 months lol... So I thought I'd try some little pearl dots around the image and I quite like it - think you'll be seeing more of this :o)  The sentiment is Pink Petticoat, the rose is from Wild Orchid, and the other flowers were cut with a Magnolia DooHickey die - this one is now out of stock, but you can get other DooHickey dies and Magnolia stamps in the fab sale at The Stamp Basket - all at 25% off!

I'm entering my card for the following challenges:

• Creative Inspirations - animal antics
• Papertake Weekly - anything goes + optional lace
• Creative Card Crew - ribbon
• Simon Says - anything birthday
• Paper Sundaes - ribbon & pearls

I'm sure I'll waffle on a bit more when I post my Waste Not Wednesdays card later, but for now I need to dash off - got a couple of orders to complete amongst other things.  Ooh before I go though, I just have to say a HUGE thank you to the lovely Debs, because I won her fabby birthday candy!  So excited, thank you hun :o)  Back later, have a lovely day!
