Stamping Bella - 'I Do' Brett and Brenda Get Married

 Happy Thursday friends!

I hope the week has been kind to you and you have managed to enjoy some of the lovely weather we've had!

It's Sue here today and I have some wedding invitations to show you!

I don't generally take commissions but I simply could nt say no to my lovely friend and her now hubby!

After some very easy going consultation we decided to use some beautiful stamps from

Dies To Die For 

Stamping Bella - Brett and Brenda Get Married

Stamping Bella - Close-Ups 'I Do'

and a sentiment from

Colorado Craft Company  Ever Thine by Anita Jeram

...and here's a close up for you...

I love the elegance and simplicity of my friend Kate's choice.  The clean and simple designs along with the coloured images works perfectly in my view!

The images were stamped in black ink onto card suitable for alcohol markers and then coloured with Copic Markers.  (I'll pop a list of the colours I used at the end of this post for you).

I cropped Brett and Benda to make a smaller design which worked well considering both designs together.

Important note here if you consider something similar - I used the same white card to create the layers as I used for the coloured images.  

Not all white card is the same colour and hue - I discovered this ages ago in an horrendous 'white on white' card challenge which looked awful in the end because I had used different card textures and the whites were a mile off when looked at together!

I stamped the sentiments in grey ink as it looked a little gentler than using black.

Dudley's Mailed With Love - again!...

Happy Fri-Yay! everyone!

I had such fun making today's card - I have n't done much colouring recently.  My concentration has n't been brilliant since I broke my leg but I really enjoyed colouring Dudley so I think I'm finally getting back to some sort of normality!

I used the fabulous 

Dudley's Mailed With Love Clear Stamp Set by Dustin Pike 

(again because Dudley is irresistible)!)! 

from Whimsy Stamps 

to make this card.

First I die cut a piece of card suitable for alcohol markers with a 

Notched Square Die

Then I stamped and masked the images working from the front backwards (so - I stamped Dudley first and then masked his nose and the envelope so I could stamp the mail box closer to him!

I used Copic Markers

Dudley - BG75, BG72, BG23, BG11, BG10, YG13, YG01, C3, C1, C00

Mail Box - BG99, BG97, BG95 W8, W4, W1, R37, R35, R05

Envelopes - R37, R05, E41, E40

Grass - G46, G14, YG17, YG13, YG01

I used a Distress Oxide Ink Pad in Tumbled Glass to blend the background around Dudley.  (I did nt mask him, I just 'eyeballed' it! - I have done this a lot and am used to it but you might feel safer masking the image before adding distress inks).

I stamped the sentiment in grey ink and die cut it with a die from the 

Comic Speech Bubbles Die Set.

I then die cut a piece of paper from the 

6x6 Heart To Heart Paper Pack

with the largest 

Notched Square Die

and layered the design onto it using 

Foam Tape.

Finally I added some enamel dots.

Game On

Hi Everyone, it's Faye here today :)

How cool is this image, Stamping Bella Game On? Don't we all know someone like this?! So, not only is this a cool image, who looks like someone we all know, but it's on offer this week. Wooohooo!

Now, I've used Carta Bella Boy Oh Boy papers, but, if when you go to buy Game On, if you accidentally popped an Echo Park That's My Boy Paper Pad into your basket, that might be on special offer too. Just sayin'!
