Stella's Best Wishes

It's time I gave Stella a little love, so I went to my Stamping Bella collection (yes, it really IS a collection...sigh) and pulled out Stella Needs a Prezzie. For some reason, I love colouring her hair purple and giving her red lips, so I looked for a paper to match those colours and found this one in my stash...it's the Feeling Groovy line from My Mind's Eye. The layout for this card is from this week's sketch on Splitcoast, SC221. 

Stella is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with copics. Her dress is paper pieced and I added some shimmer to the image with my Stardust gelly roll pen...love that thing! All the papers I used on this card (except the black) are from the Feeling Groovy collection. I decided to stitch around all the layers for a little interest. I love sewing on cards...would NEVER sew fabric or hem pants or anything like that, but I LOVE sewing paper. Weird, eh!  :)

The sentiment, Best Wishes, is also from Stamping Bella. The finishing touch is a few carefully placed Bella Baubles. Because the baubles are kind of transparent, I didn't want the edges of a glue dot to show through, so I used some Micro Dots instead. 

If you don't already have micro dots, you NEED them! They're AH-mazing! Perfect for anything little you want to adhere, and they're strong too! 

Thanks for stopping by!
