Hehe!! Ya gotta LOVE Stella!! She's such a mess, ain't she??? Look at her all plopped down in her Manhattan!! LOL!! I love coloring her. Although, some parts of her are a STAPLE, like her AWESOME red lips!! I mean, hellloooooo??? She HAS to have red lips, right?
So I made this card for my aunt's friend who LOVES Manhattans!! My aunt asked me to make her a Stella card for her birthday!! I think she turned out perfect, don't you? I started by stamping "Stella with an olive on top" from Stamping Bella onto some Stampin Up Very Vanilla CS and colored her with my Copics. I added some Glamour Dust to her drink, star and crown and sponged a little chalk ink around the edges. This DP is a new paper pack I picked up at Michael's last week from K&Company called Summer Travel. Such pretty bright colors in it too! Ahhhhh, got my paper fix for the week!! I added the sentiment to the bottom left corner and stitched the DP onto some SU Soft Suede. I used my SU scalloped border punch on the vertical panel and I added this pretty lace trim on top. I finished up with some saddle stitched ribbon tied in a cute bubbly bow! Wuv her!! Ok, be sure to leave a cluck below and let me know what you think, k? {{{hen hugs}}}

ReplyDeleteJeanie, I have just GOT to tell you, you have become my first stop after work and before I change my clothes and start dinner. You have a delightful sense of humor and your cards are ABSOLUTELY outstanding every single day. I love them! You are inspiring, so funny and your blog is amazingly creative every time I visit! Thank you! One of my personal goals in 2010 is to build my own blog - you will be my cyber mentor! Thanks!
