A Bubbly Bow Tutorial

Hi hens... are ya ready for Part 2 of my tutorial? Woo-hoo! This video will show you how I tie my bubbly bows! I do get several questions about them, so hopefully you'll find this tutorial helpful.

This is Stella "Stupid Cupid" from Bugaboo Stamps! I just LOVEEEE Stella! She's such a riot! I can't remember a time when I've colored Stella and didn't bust up laughing! If not for those prickly 2 hairs on her legs, it's those boobs!! OMG!! She just cracks me up! LOL!! I printed Stella onto some Canson Manga Fanboy CS and colored her with my Copics. I sponged a little chalk ink around the edges and then stitched her to the SU Basic Black CS. You can see Part 1 of my video, a "Stitching Tutorial" here. The DP I used is from Bo Bunny and I stitched around the edges of it, as well. I used my SU border punch along the black mat of the top layer and of course tied my bubbly bow on top to finish! A PERFECT Valentine's Day card for my hubby!! Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha! Stella kinda looks like me on Valentine's Day... forget all that mushy stuff - JUST HAND OVER THE CANDY AND NOBODY GETS HURT!!


I hope you hens have enjoyed my little tutorial and I'll see ya back in the hen house bright n' early tomorrow mornin'! {{{hen hugs}}}

Supplies:
Digital Image - Bugaboo Stamps; CS - Canson Manga Fanboy, SU Basic Black; DP - Bo Bunny; Copics; Ribbon - Michaels BASIC; Border Punch - Stampin Up; Chalk Ink - Colorbox
