After the crazy release week posting, I went a little quiet – sorry!  I think I wore myself out. 😉  Actually, behind the scenes here I’ve been making a serious dent in the ongoing clearout and the attempts to simplify life!  I can just about see the light at the end of the tunnel.

So, a quick post from me today to share my latest Bellariffic Friday card (and yes, I know, it’s Saturday, shhhhh 😉 ).

This little cutie from the Mo Manning range of rubber at Stamping Bella was perfect for the sketch we had last week.  He’s called “Sumpin’s Wrong(for UK readers, he and all the other newly released stamps will be available from me at Quixotic Paperie very soon).

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Make it Colour Blending Card and coloured with ShinHan Touch Twin Markers.  The paper I used is from my scrap box.  I used MFT Die-Namics Fishtail Flag STAX dies to cut the little sentiment banner (I chopped them down).  I distressed the edges of the papers with a Ranger Acrylic Paint Dabber in Snow Cap.  The sentiment is one that came with one of the SCACD Stamps Oddly Sweet Curiosities monsters.
