Welcome all to my blog. I hope you are enjoying the hop so far and getting some fabulous inspiration on what you can do with your Bellas. Hopefully you are joining me from Ms. Paula Tracy's amazing blog but if you just happen to be blog surfing and stumbled upon my blog how about starting at the beginning of the hop on the Stamping Bella Blog and play along? For my card I pretty much kept the color palette soft, but added the punch of black and white houndstooth DP. I colored up Charlotte Ketto with my copics and added clear spica to the circular hair things and to her wispies. Of course the camera doesn't pick that up, but the sparkles are there. I added some tiny twinkles to the corners for just a little bling and a clear and pink button to the sentiment to tie into the pink in her dress. Now this Ketto is ready to do some serious birthday shopping. Your next stop on the hop is the fabulously talented Sparkle.Oh and how about a prize? In addition to the fabulous eye candy, Stamping Bella has decided to hide a prize somewhere along the hop! One pre-selected blogger will draw a random winner from the comments on her post, and the winner will receive a $40 Gift Voucher to Stamping Bella!!! The fun part is...we're not telling you who it is! So as you hop, make sure you leave comments on every post so you have a chance to win!! Stamping Bella will announce the winner on Monday in the Splitcoast forum. Good luck and have fun!
