WARM WINTER WISHES

Hey there, happy Bellariffic Friday to ya!  OK, you got me...it's Saturday...I had a super busy day yesterday, so I didn't get around to posting my card.  Better late than never, right!?!  *grin*  Have you had a chance to check out the new Stamping Bella store/blog?  O...M...G...it's AWESOME!  I absolutely LOVE everything about it!  It's super easy to navigate, the check out process was a snap, but the best part...the distribution center was relocated to the United States making shipping even more affordable!  Can I hear a whoop?  While you're over there drooling all over the new release, give Em some much deserved luv for all her hard work!  As Em would say, *mwah* to da sistahs that share the love!  LOL!

Now onto my card...I've been dying to color Uptown Girl Quinn and Her Boots!  She's beautiful and colored up much faster than I thought she would!  Quinn was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White then colored with Copic markers.  In order for her scarf to wave in the wind, she was cut out using the Out-of-the-box technique.  The snowflake and Sparklet were colored to match Quinn's outfit then popped up on foam.  I'm kinda bummed...the pattern paper didn't photograph all that great.  Part of the plaid and some of the snowflakes are actually purple...they came out more blue than purple in the photos.  Note sure why, but it is what it is.  Am I right?  Last but not least, Quinn's shadow in the snow was highlighted with a Wink of Stella pen for a nice, subtle shimmer.

COPIC COLORING: 
SKIN:  E11, E000, E0000, R30  HAIR:  E57, E55, E53  JACKET, BOOTS:  W6, W4, W2, W0  HAT, SCARF, SKIRT, SNOWFLAKE:  BG72, BG70, V17, V15, V12  SHADOW:    SKY:  BG70

Hope you can join in for next week's Bellariffic Fridays Inspiration challenge...interpret the photo any way you like.  Email your card to Em by Thursday, October 16, to be included on Bloggabella...you could win some Bella Bucks, but you have to use a current stamp!  I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!  GORGEOUS fall colors, just sayin'...



Thanks for stopping by!
