The card I’m sharing today should have been finished and blogged yesterday.  Yesterday had other plans, like a surprise trip to the dentist.  YAY!  I now have antibiotics for a low grade infection.  We also had another appointment with the vet, just a checkup to make sure she was ok after the nightmare weekend.  The good news is that she is absolutely fine! Phew.  Hopefully in five days or so I will also be fine, and we can get back on track.

Anyway, today I managed to finish colouring and create a card using another of the new Stamping Bella Uptown Girls stamps.  This one is my absolute favourite – Uptown Couple Emily & Ryan Under The Umbrella.  SO SWEET.

Stamping Bella Uptown Girls are available in the UK at Quixotic Paperie, and the latest release will be joining the range soon!

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Make it Colour Blending Card and coloured with ShinHan Touch Twin Markers (details below). The designer paper is from an old Crate Paper kit which I have been hoarding for years. I embellished with MFT Die-Namics Photo Corners and Button Quartet die cuts.
