A Little French Chef

Today I started with Jen's Sketch For You to Try as my jumping off point for this card. I decided to use Cheffa Huggabugg from Stamping Bella 'cause he hasn't seen any ink yet, and once I decided on him, the colour scheme just popped into my head. I don't know why, but black, red, kraft and white just seems so perfect for little Cheffa. I'm imagining he's in his bakery on a chic street in Paris. 

I started by stamping the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink then coloured him with copics. I gave his chef coat and hat just a hint of colour with W0, otherwise there would have been way too much white and he wouldn't stand out from the background. He's cut out with square Nestabilities and layered onto a scallop of black. I added some Crystal Stickles to his wings for some sparkle. 

The card base is kraft then I layered some black and riding hood red. I ran the riding hood red panel through my D'vine swirls Cuttlebug folder for some texture. The fun polka dot paper is by Bo Bunny and it's available in a rainbow of colours...I love polka dots!!! A black Prima flower was perfect for the bottom accent and I added two buttons to the center. 

Don't forget about this week's Bellarific Friday Challenge. You'll find the sketch on Bloggabella and you have until Thursday at 5pm to submit your creation to Em. You just might win some Bella Bucks..woo hoo! 

Thanks for stopping by!
