Care for a dip?


I know some of you are probably still wading through the snow, but Winter has fled the Sunshine State and true to it's name, this past month has been nothing but sunshine, with temperatures reaching the mid 80's!! Something tells me this is going to be one HOT summer! Too hot! Pictures, Images and Photos NO MORE Winter images in the hen house for awhile. Sooooo, I decided to color up Clara from Stamping Bella to fit our weather! I stamped her onto some of Bella's Bestest Paper and colored her with my Copics. I stitched her to a double mat of SU Cajun Craze and SU Early Expresso and then sponged some distress ink around the edges. I used my new wave die from The Cat's Pajamas and made a beach scene using this fabulous DP from My Minds Eye {Stella & Rose - Gertie}. I stitched around the edges of the DP and tied on some Baker's Twine to finish. Clara's SMOH-KIN ain't she?? *snort*

Ok, so maybe you're not ready to jump into Summer just yet.... so what about Easter? Yeah? Well then, here's a challenge for you. Make an Easter card with any Stamping Bella image and send it to emily@stampingbella.com by Thursday evening and you could win some cool Bella Bucks!! Oh, and if you use some Kraft cardstock on your project, you can also enter it into my That's Krafty Thursday #48 challenge below! Who knows, YOU might be crowned the hen house's newest Krafty Chick!

  2. Aren't you clever? The whole scene is wonderful. I cannot understand how you can get so many patterns on a card. I love the colors you chose and
    Clara super cool.
    PS 3 to 5 inches of snow expected in Iowa.

  3. OMG!!! I'd LOVE to look sooo chic when I'm off for swimming!!! Hmmm ... perhaps I should try to wear high heels??? ROFL!
    Gorgeous card Jeanie! I love how you made the sun and the waves! Wow and that coloring always amazes me! That shiny touch on the hat is stunning!!! Wonderful DP!!!! The "double" button is a cute idea.

  5. Makes me want to go to the beach....though far, far away from here (not that I'm close to a beach anyway!).

    Love it!

    And, on a different note....I just had to comment about your comments (about my cards). They're so encouraging! Thanks so much for them, I truly do appreciate it!

  7. We're a long way from winter being over here in Michigan. In fact more snow is forecast for this week. So what a wonderful spirit lifter to view this adorable card today. I always enjoy coming to your blog and checking out your cards and of course loved meeting the darling new 'chicks' in the henhouse.
