Just For Fun: bluebell BITTYBLOOM Bella
February 25th, 2009
Say that 3 times fast! It’s time for another Just For Fun challenge with my partners in crime: Michele Boyer, Carole Burrage, Julie Campbell and Alli Miles. Everyone starts out with the same main image and patterned paper (two 1/4 sheet pieces - no room for error! LOL!) This month, it was Julie’s turn to pick the patterned paper: Girl Friday from Cosmo Cricket and Alli picked this darling Stamping Bella image: bluebell BITTYBLOOM.
I colored my bluebell with Copic Markers (R37, YR14, BG72, YG95, E00, R20 and W1) and then sponged Antique Linen Distress Ink from Ranger on my edges with Cut & Dry Foam. You can find Copics and the Rangers items I’ve used at Ellen Hutson. When I was done coloring, I added some shimmer and glitter to bluebell’s blouse. The glitter is Butterfly Transparent from Art Glitter.
A new shipment of WhipperSnapper arrived here today, and I couldn’t resist one of Anna’s gorgeous sentiments from the set, Friendly Expressions. It’s stamped in Rich Cocoa Memento and highlighted with a Clear Spica Glitter Pen.
I stacked a few Prima Flowers and added a button. I’ve been using ZipDry a LOT lately on embellishments like this. There is some room to move while you are laying your card out, but once it’s dry - zippy quick - IT’S STAYING PUT. The smaller rhinestones are Taylor Twinkles from Taylored Expressions.
I hope you enjoy the Just For Fun samples. I think it’s great to see what everyone does with similar supplies and color schemes. This was fun. SO, fun that I’ll spread the joy. Leave a comment to say HI, and I’ll pick a winner on Friday morning to send this stamp from Stamping Bella to. Have a great day.

She looks so fancy in her glittery shirt — did she just now get home from the Oscars?! Love the addition of the brown and brown stitching; makes her pop(py)! (Little floral humor there…

I love this! The button topped layered flowers embellishment is absolutely perfect with your bella, and I adore the dp as well–everything is perfect together! My favorite part is her sparkly top, love it!

This is too cute! I can always count on you to let me in on the “lastest and greatest” too! I’ve never heard of this Zip Dry. You know, we are going to have to have a “what’s new” chat here soon! I don’t think I’ve been on top of things lately!
