Welcome to the Bella Birthday Bash Blop Hop sponsored by Stamping Bella! If you've just happened upon my blog, you can CLICK HERE to start from the beginning at Bloggabella.
The sketch this week from Clean and Simple:
Another Color Challenge by Ashley:
I flipped the sketch and this is what I came up with. I also incorporated the 365 Card Challenge - A little Wordy- to cover a background with text - one of my favorite looks!
I love this Bella, and haven't used her enough! This one is Snowbunnybella. I used a PTI stamp (Retro Background) for the pattern of her jacket, and a CTMH stamp (text) for the background. I used fun flock for all of Bella's fur and I mounted her with foam squares. The sentiment is cut with my Slice.
The sketch this week from Inspirational Card Sketches:
