Gossiping Bella

Happy Bellarific Friday!!! This week was a colour challenge...pink, orange and turquoise. Hmmm...I think I've discovered that colour challenges are my least favourite type of challenge. Oh well, I persevered and created a card with my fun Gossipabella (which includes the sentiment) from Stamping Bella.

This will likely be me later today as I chat with my Mom and wish her happy birthday! My family all got together last weekend to celebrate...sometimes it's a bummer living so far away from everyone. Holy I sound like Debbie Downer today...sorry 'bout that...didn't mean to...let me pick it up a little.   :)

I stamped Gossipabella with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Bella's Bestest Paper and coloured her with copics. Then I cut her out with Labels Nine nestabilities and pierced around the edge. When I pierce odd shapes like this I simply leave the nesties in place and use the inside edge as a guide for placing my holes. The spacing between holes is completely eye-balled. Just make sure when you're piercing like this to hold onto both the nesties and the image so it doesn't slip...ask me how I know...wink!

For the sentiment I simply stamped it onto a scrap of pink pirouette then cut it up into pieces to fit in the open space on the image panel. I used my big Coluzzle circle to cut out the orange polka dot paper since none of my nesties were large enough. Then I layered some baja blue and stitched it to more pink, then adhered it all to the white card base. I debated placing ribbon somewhere but it just wasn't looking right to me so I opted for pink Glitter Dots instead.

Next week's Bellarific Challenge is a Winter/Winter Sports theme in celebration of the Olympics. Go team Go!!! Email your submissions to Em by Thursday night to be included in next Friday's round-up. You could win Bella Bucks just for playing in the challenge!
