bffABUGGS

Here we are again at the end of another week.  But that means it's Bellariffic Friday again too!  Woo Hoo.  So this week we were challenged with a sketch.  I might have embellished it a little - and hopefully you'll like that I did.  I've colored up a fun Christy Croll image - bffABUGGS.  Believe it or not I even colored this one with prismacolor pencils blended with gamsol.  Fellow Bella Babe Elaine colored up some images this week with her pencils and we all know how much she loves her markers so I decided to dig out my pencils again too!  I'm so happy I did.  I had fun with this card.  Thanks for the inspiration Elaine!


I flipped the sketch sideways and added a nice heart border to bring home the Valentine's wishes this card brings.  I pulled the sentiment from Uptown Girl Lucille.  Embellished it with a seam binding ribbon and machine stitching. 

Next week our challenge is "You are so Sweet"  and you can take that however you'd like.  I know that I'll probably use one of the Stamping Bella's fabulous images with sweets like cookies or cakes.  Can't wait to see your creations.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend!
Cath

Cath, I just love this. The pencils give the image a nice soft feel. And, the glitter - well, it just makes it pop! As always, great job.
