Grad #2!


Ha-ha!! See I told ya it was GRAD week in the hen house!! This is "diplomabella" from Stamping Bella. Isn't she great? I haven't used her since my own little baby graduated so it was high time I inked her up!! Our school colors here in my hometown are royal blue and white. Man alive, I didn't think this color would be that difficult but it sure was for me!! I ended up using my Prismacolor pencils to color her because I don't have that many Copics and certainly don't have any this shade of blue. I'm definitely no pencil competition for my good friends Meahni and Paula!! Bwah-ha-ha-ha!!

Ok, so I stamped diplomabella onto some Choice Buttercream CS and colored her with my Prismacolor pencils. I cut her out with my Nestabilities and sponged some chalk ink around the edges. I punched two slots for the ribbon with my SU horizontal slot punch, threaded this royal blue ribbon through and tied it in a cute little bow with a button in the center. Okee dokee, that's it for me today, I hope you hens all have a SUPER DUPER Tuesday! Be sure to leave a cluck below and let me know what you think of her, ok? {{{hen hugs}}}

Supplies:
Rubber Stamps - Stamping Bella; DP - Basic Grey; CS - SU Very Vanilla, Choice Buttercream, Royal Blue; Ribbon - Offray; Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol; Button; Twine; SU Horizontal Slot Punch
