it’s WONDERFUL WEDNESDAYS WITH – MICHELLE SHORT aka THE CARD GROTTO

Hello! Michelle here and I am delighted to be back on the Stamping Bella blog today. Sadly, this is my last week here for the moment, but I will be back! 🙂 Today I have a card to share using Cakeabella 2.0.  (Cakeabella is also available as a “CUT IT OUT DIE” or as a BUNDLE for 15% off!)I actually took inspiration for my card today from a card I made back in 2007 using the original Cakeabella. As much as I loved the original Bella’s, I am so happy to see them back remade.

I started off by stamping Cakeabella with black ink on to a piece of white cardstock. She was then cut out in to a circle piece using a pierced circle die. The side portion was then sliced off. Cakeabella was coloured using Copics (can you tell that they are my favourite colouring medium?!) and I also added a few highlights with a white gel pen.

I took an A2 purple card base and added a piece of patterned paper on to the front. On to this I stamped the sentiment from the Tiny Townie Blossom Loves Balloons set (I just love the font on this sentiment). The Cakebella image piece was then added to the card with foam tape. To finish off, I added a few glitter enamel dots.

If you would like to see the original card I made back in 2007, please do pop over to my blog. You have to promise me that you will not laugh at my card making skills 10 years ago though, ok?! 😉 A big thank you goes to Em and her team for having me this month, it has been so much fun. Have a great rest of the week!

Thanks so much again, Em.
