SUMMER FUN

Hey there, are you ready for this week's Stamping Bella challenge project?  It was an Inspiration Theme where I pulled the colors tan and yellow and came up with this summery card using Uptown Girl Sandy and her Sombrero.  Even though I live on the Oregon Coast, this is NOT something you would see someone wear walking up and down our beaches!  Even in the summer people are fully dressed including hats and jackets!  *snort*

Sandy was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White, colored with Copic markers then fussy cut using a combination of an Ex-Acto knife/glass cutting plate and scissors.  Her sun glasses and cocktail have Sakura Clear Glaze on them for a nice, subtle shine.  The sky was sponged with Summer Sky and the smallest cloud in the Die-Namics Jumbo Cloud STAX.  The beach and waves were layered then Sandy was popped up on foam.  I used this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch, #209, for the layout.

COPIC COLORING: 
SKIN:  E11, E01, E000, R30, BV20  HAIR:  E57, E55, E53, E51  SUN GLASSES:  C6, C4, C2, C0  BIKINI:  E35, E33, E30  HAT, THONGS, SUN:  Y38, Y11, Y00  BAG:  E35, E33, E30, Y38, Y11, Y00  COCKTAIL:  C1, C00, BG70, Y00  SHADOW:  E35, E30

Next week's Bellariffic Fridays challenge is a Sketch challenge.  Email your card to Em by Thursday, March 13, to be included on Bloggabella...you could win some Bella Bucks, but you have to use a current stamp!  Pretty sure I know which direction I'm leaning for this one...I just need to sit down and work it out!  I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!



Thanks for stopping by!
