Hello friends!
Note: the online store is temporarily closed until 12th February while the new release and other changes are prepared.
It’s time for another Scenic Saturday here on the Blogabella and I’ve inked up the sweet Bundle Girl with Rose. As she marches along with her large stem of roses it’s not just beautiful blooms that she brings but all her love as well. Which makes her perfect for a card with a subtle Valentine’s Day vibe.
I stamped Bundle Girl with Rose low on the card front and I colored in the expansive sky to fill two thirds of the space. By keeping Bundle Girl and the landscape confined to the bottom third of the card this creates a ratio of space that is pleasing to the eye. The soft cream and pinks of Bundle Girl and her rose stand out against the atmospheric landscape pulling focus right to her. I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Sentiment set in the upper right corner, opposite Bundle Girl, using a pink ink to compliment the flower and add some more balance to the overall design. As a finishing touch I added a trio of die cut butterflies fluttering around the sentiment for just a bit of whimsy.
Stay crafty my friends!

On to our usual amazing Friday inspiration! This week the Babes were asked to be inspired by each other, and as always this has resulted in some fabulous cards. Let’s take a look.
Love this cute card from Delphine! Our little guinea pig is such a cutie, and that black edge detail frames him beautifully.

Another throwback from me today, I just haven’t had any time or energy for crafting over the past week or so! Determined to get some colouring done today though… I keep looking at our WONDERLAND themed stamps, it might soon be time for them to come out to play on my desk again…
One of my favourites is the gorgeous Tiny Townie Wonderland Queen of Hearts and you can watch her come to life with Copic marker colouring in my video below!

I am so busy with some exciting behind the scenes stuff including the new release, and the less exciting EU compliance admin work, that my mojo has up and gone on a vacation. So, bear with me, and enjoy this little repost!
