Hey Gill-friend

Hey Gill-friend! Just sharing a Paper Smooches card today. This one uses the new Briny Blue set.
First I stamped the fish on white cardstock and then loosely colored them with Copics. Then I stamped them on the dark blue card and paper pieced them. Oh, and if you notice closely, I had to paper piece those teeny tiny little white eyes on the yellow fish. Tedious? Yes. Worth it? You betcha:)
Gill-friend, you have yourself a festive little Friday, ok? Ciao, Bella♥

Let’s Celebrate

Just saw the July/August issue of Paper Crafts Magazine(digital issue). It was refreshing to see a card that I had completely forgotten about. Kinda like those surprises:) To make this card, I die cut some triangles onto masking paper and then blended in the ink. Hope you’re having a wonderful summer so far:) Thanks for looking!

stamps: Say What-Mama Elephant
ink: Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo,

Paper Smooches winner announced!

Hello all! First off…a super sized hug for your today. Thanks for your many sweet comments and words of encouragement you leave on my blog. I appreciate it so very much♥This card features the new Think Fast stamp set and coordinating dies. First I die cut the shapes. Then I stamped the images with memento ink and colored them with Copics. The sentiment was embossed in white. This card has already been given away. Gotta love when the card quickly serves it’s purpose and doesn’t sit in a stack of others collecting dust. One thing I’ve noticed about cards given with Paper Smooches images; they always, always make people smile. I like that.

And now for the fun part…the Paper Smooches blog hop winner:Congratulations Richard! You won the Crystal Clear set that I used on my blog hop card. I will be contacting you soon:)
