Summer 2017 Release Colouring Videos

Hey folks! Elaineabella here. Since Emily is on vacation, and we don’t have a Wonderful Wednesday guest this month, I thought I’d stop by and share the playlist of colouring videos for the latest release with you! I haven’t uploaded all of them yet, but there are several up now ready for you to watch.

The NEW RELEASE orders have started to dispatch now, so I thought a little colouring inspiration might be in order!

Watch the videos in the playlist below or in HD over on YouTube.

Full Copic details are given in each video.

MWAH!

Marker Geek Monday: Prismacolor Skin Combos featuring Surfer Littles

This week for Marker Geek Monday I’m fulfilling a request to show some Prismacolor coloured pencil colouring, featuring one of the NEW stamp sets from the Summer 2017 release!

Prismacolor Coloured Pencil Skin Combos:

Recently I’ve had a few requests to show some more coloured pencil colouring, specifically Prismacolor pencils. I thought I would start by experimenting with some different skin tones and sharing the results!

The stamp set featured in today’s post is the awesome new LITTLES SURFER stamp set (coordinating die set also available).

A quick note about the new LITTLES stamp sets – these sets are utterly adorable and lots of fun to play with in terms of creating scenes. They also happen to be great for colouring, and specifically for practicing blending and colouring. They are small, the girl shown below is approx. 1 3/4″ tall, but have less fine details than the usual Stamping Bella style, so are a little easier to practice shading and adding your own details.

The “skin combos” shown are by no means the only combos that exist, or even the “best”. These are just the results of a little play time, trying out some different colours together. Use them as inspiration for your own colouring, as a jumping off point to experiment with your own combinations. The hair and outfit colours are the same for each, only the skin colours differ.

It’s Bellarific Friday- FREE FORM and a feature on our STAMP OF THE MONTH!

Hiya sistahs!

Hope you had a great week 🙂

We are packing up and going on a road trip tomorrow… We are off to Ogunquit Maine (Maine is my happiest place ever.. New England in general) and then off to Boston for a couple of days.  But don’t you worry …  I will be fully connected as usual LOL.. and will always be around so you won’t even have a chance to miss me!

We also have a HUGE announcement. …  Please welcome 2 NEW BABEROONIS to our team!  We had to say goodbye to our amazing Stephabella.  Life just got in the way (I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS)  and she had to reprioritize (I know I’m surprised we weren’t number one HAHA.. just kidding).l. We will miss Stephabella terribly and she knows she always has a place with us when she’s ready to come back 🙂

Now for our 2 new members, we have JENNYDIXABELLA (I was gonna call her SHAKERBELLA because her shaker cards are TO DIE FOR but I’m not sure she’s up for it LOL).. and we have INGE Groot.  I have known Inge for years and years and so happy to welcome both these ladies to our team!  They are sure to inspire you!

For this week’s Bellarific Friday  we have two treats.  Every first Friday of the month we challenge our baberoonis  to make a card featuring our stamp of the month.  This month’s stamp of the month is PETUNIA has a PARTY… (this stamp is 20% off all month long!)   Oh how I love this stamp!  AND YOU JUST WAIT until you see the creations below .. will make you fall in love with our WOODSIES collection all over again .

Let’s see what our baberoonis came up with shall we?
