Rumor Has It...

As soon as I saw yesterday's Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast I KNEW it would be a perfect layout for my brand new Rumor Has It Girl stamp from Stamping Bella. And, since this is a brand new stamp, I'm also using this card as my submission for the Bella-riffic Friday blog. The theme this week is 'New Beginnings' and I think these two are starting a new rumor. {grin}

The stamp comes as one image with the two girls connected by a string line, but I chose to ink each girl separately. I did my best not to get any of the string inked because I knew I wanted to use some hemp for the string. The girls are stamped with Memento black onto Gina K Pure Luxury white and coloured with copics. I added a bit of green shimmer to each of them using my Melon Green Atyou Spica glitter pen, but it doesn't really show in the photos. 

The girls were cut out with a rectangle nestie, then layered onto either Regal Rose or Baja Blue and Chocolate. I distressed all the layer edges. The card base is Gina K 120lb Pure Luxury, followed by a piece of distressed Chocolate. The patterned paper it from Sonburn Designs, the Frolic Collection. 

I used my SU Ticket corner punch on the patterned base layer and added a green Bella Bonbon to each corner for a little sparkle. The ribbon is from Making Memories, I think. To attach the black hemp I just pierced a hole in each can, threaded the hemp to the back and secured it with scotch tape. 

I decorated the inside of the card this time cause I was going to be stamping inside as well. I really like decorating the insides...must do it more often!

Did you ever do this as a kid? I can totally remember making a tin can telephone with my friend when I was young and being completely amazed that it actually worked...to a certain extent anyway. Much the same as being able to hear the ocean in the big conch shells.  :)

Thanks for stopping by!
