Another week is flying by - hope yours is going well. I used to be so good about getting out birthday cards. Now, I'm always about a week late. I've given up saying happy belated birthday - usually just say hope it was a good one. And today's card is no exception, it will be about a week late once it arrives at its destination. This is the first time this particular bella (from Stamping Bella) has seen ink. She is stamped with palette noir ink and colored with a combo of prismacolor and copic markers. Her hairs is done with colored pencil and baby oil.
The sentiment (from Verve) is stamped with Stampin' Up navy ink. I had thought about doing the sentiment in a circle layer but I like it straight on the image layer.
I have more of these bellas colored but only had a little piece of this background paper left. Hopefully this weekend, I'll have another bella sample for you. Have a great day!
The image and paper work so well together. If you ever need a Bella let me know. THE Bella store is not far from me and I am always looking for an excuse to head over there. :)

I love this Bella! I can't remember if I bought her or not, but she has been on my list! I love the BG paper with her! It is so fitting!

Just remember it's the thought that counts. I'd rather get a late card than none at all. I like that you stamped the sentiment with the image. I also like your choice of patterned paper.

Of all the Bellas that I have seen, I think the Daisybella is my favorite! I love the colors in the background paper and the ribbon. Cute card.
