Bellariffic Friday – Expectafellabella

*** Scroll down further or click the links to see my Mo’s DT Blog Hop Post & Kraftin Kimmie July Preview #1 *** 

I’m not usually too bothered, but this week – THANK GOODNESS IT’S FRIDAY!!! 

As usual, I’ve got a Bellariffic card to show you!  The challenge this week was to make a card following Karen‘s fab sketch.  I hope lots of you played along!

I’ve used Expectafellabella for my card!  Love this image, perfect for congratulating parents to be!

I stamped the cute couple in Memento Tuxedo Black ink (available in the UK at Quixotic Paperie) and then coloured with Copic Markers.

Skin: E000, E00, E11 bE50, E53, E34 His Hair: E43, E44, E47 Her Outfit: R11, R12, R14, BG0000, BG72, BG75
His Outfit: G0000, G82, G85 E40, E41, E42, E43, E31, E34, E35, E57, Y21, Y26, Y28, W2, W5, W8

I did something a little unusual for me and combined papers from two different collections.  Actually, they are from two completely different companies!  The dotted paper is from The Girl’s Paperie (Paper Girl pack available in the UK at Quixotic Paperie), the strips are cut from Basic Grey Olivia papers (Olivia 6×6 pad available in the UK at Quixotic Paperie).

The pearls in the top corner are yummy 8mm flatback pearls in cream.  I didn’t completely leave out the Viva Decor though!  Oh no, that little flower in her hair?  Viva Decor Glitter Liner in Holo-Iridescent. Hah! (Da Bella has a selection of Viva Decor products in stock.  If you’re in the UK you can find Viva Pearl Pens, Viva Gloss Gel Pens and Viva Glitter Liners at Quixotic Paperie).

I’ll be back later with another Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps release preview!!  In the meantime, make sure you pop over to Bloggabella and check out what all the Bellariffic Sistahs have been up to!

NEXT WEEK’S BELLARIFFIC THEME: Use a Bella or Stella image!  Nice and easy, except….which one will you pick?!?!  Get your projects emailed over to DA BELLA by the evening of Thursday 22nd July to be in with the chance of winning some Bella Bucks!
