Surpriseabella

First, I apologize for not posting anything for so long. Things have been hectic around here and I have been working on a different craft project (GASP)! I decided I wanted to make a stocking for Kiah as a present for her first Christmas so I have been spending all my free time quilting it. Surprisingly, I've actually been enjoying it but, I can't wait until I can get back into my craftroom regularly. That being said, I managed to sneak 1/2 hour in there yesterday and created this card.



I made it in order to play along with the two following challenges:

1. Bella-riffic Friday: The theme for this week was to use "prezzies". I immediately thought of this beautiful bella - surpriseabella with hat - which I hadn't inked up in ages.
2.Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge (TECC45): These are always sketch challenges and I really wanted to play along with this one.



In any case, I was happy with the end result but added a sentiment to the bottom right-hand corner because I felt the card needed something else. The sentiment was too large to punch out with my SU word window punch so I cut it into a rectangle and used my SU Coluzzle to round the end. I was so proud of myself - these types of problem-solving ideas usually don't occur to me (LOL)!


Hugs & Happy Stamping -
