It's Bellarific Friday and the Babe hunt is ON!!


Yay! I'm gettin' a new sistah!! You hens did play along today right? Pleeeeease say you wanna be my new sistah!! *sniff-sniff* Oh goodie, I was hoping you did! Yippee-Skippee, a new sistah is on the way!!

Today is the 1st Bellarific Friday of the Bella Babe contest! You must participate in ALL four August Bellarific Friday's to be considered, so keep those cards a comin'!! Today's 1st challenge was "Paper Piecing". I LOVEEE this technique! I used "The Big Guy Grillin" from Stamping Bella and I paper pieced his shirt. This technique is particularly handy when there is a large area to cover like "The Big Guy's" shirt! Works like a charm! The image was stamped onto some of Bella's Bestest Paper and colored with my Copics. I matted him with some PTI Dark Chocolate CS and sponged some chalk ink around the edges. This DP is from Flair Designs and is SO perfect with all it's BBQ sentiments! Love it!! The table cloth DP is from Flair Designs as well, and adds a great picnic feel too! I matted the DP with some SU Real Red and then onto some scratch white CS and stitched around the edges. What?? No bow!! Yeah, I know, but it's going to my cousin Billy so "no bows on a guy card!" Hmmmph!! They don't know what they're missin'!! Hellloooooo???

Be sure to leave a cluck below and let me know what ya think, k? Next week's Bellarific Friday theme is BLING! So Razzle & Dazzle us with your BESTEST work!! Have a FABULOUS Friday!! {{{hen hugs}}}

Rubber Stamp - Stamping Bella; CS - Bella's Bestest Paper, SU Real Red, PTI Dark Chocolate; DP - Flair Designs; Circle Punches; Copics; Colorbox Chalk Ink
