It's been a few days since I've posted - my schedule has been super busy this week. I feel kind of like a duck. You know how they are really calm on the surface but below the surface their feet are paddling like crazy. Well, my feet are paddling like crazy but I don't feel quite so calm at the surface - flailing there too. But I took a few moments in the studio to keep my sanity.
I must be psychic - pink and brown cards was this weeks bella challenge - of course by the time I found out I was too late for the challenge!
This card started with my paper. I decided to go through my paper and pick a pretty piece. I chose this cool one by Basic Grey (Classic Sultry). Then the stamp and so on.
Bella is stamped with palette noir ink and colored with copic and prismacolor markers. Her hair is colored with a prismacolor pencil and baby oil.
copics: E00, R32, R37, E19
pc markers: sand, brick white, cool grey 10%
pc pencil: black raspberry
The center of the flower looks like a pretty pearl in this picture but it is a regular brad. I'm sorry I don't know the color - I don't keep the packaging for my brads.
I think I need to make some coffee myself and then I'm off and running again. This morning Conor has baseball and Meghan has lacrosse. After lunch is Conor's birthday party with his school friends and then its off to my mom's this evening for a family dinner. Hope your weekend is a good one!
Cute card!!

The pink and brown are just lovely, and the flower is a pretty touch.

Hope you have had fun with your company!!

I have a child who plays lacrosse too! At least it isn't quite as physical with the girls as with the boys. And I was expecting a duck card . . . now I guess I'll have to go make one myself. Great color coordination on this, even if it isn't a webbed footed bird. :)

What a darling Bella card! Fantastic job on pulling this together. I totally understand the getting your sanity thing too.

Oh, I just love this card. I almost bought that Bella not long ago, and passed up the opportunity. Now I regret it. Sure I can rectify that! You've done a fabulous job on layout and coloring. Love the color combo too. Hope life settles down soon.
