Happy Wednesday!! Welcome to the Belles ‘n Whistles Blog Hop release for the newest set of stamps to come our way…the Changeabelles Collection! Not only are they the newest creations drawn for Belles ‘n Whistles by our favorite artist, Elisabeth Bell, they are a new concept for Belles ‘n Whistles altogether! The images are awesome. The hop starts here at the Belles 'n Whistles Blog. You should have come here from Liza's site.
This adorable image was colored up with copic markers. The DP is by October Afternoon and the CS is by Bazzill. I made the clouds using chalk ink and a cloud stencil. Little flowers were made from punches and little pearls.
This little girl is having a summer time picnic and after the week of wet and cold we've been having, a little sunshine would be refreshing. So I wanted a bright summery card to show off this beautiful image.
Please leave comments on each blog you visit (including mine :)) and then again at the Belles `n Whistles Blog at the end. I will be choosing one winner at random to receive a stamp of your choice from the new collection. One randomly chosen winner from the BnW blog will receive a new set of Belles `n Whistles stamps!
Now you can make your way over to Stephanne's blog. Have fun along the hop and happy crafting.
















such a cute card
