Hiya sistahs! Hope you’ve had a great week! this week was FULL of inspiration.. so many projects shared.. cards shown.. sigh.. LOVE.

I am hoping that all of my sistahs do follow our @stampingbella feed on Instagram.. I have started a new personal account where I share some personal bella pics of my family.. things I do.. and now I am adding my destash items on that feed too. I have been prodded (not naming any names LOL) to start parting with some of my beloved supplies and where else can I be sure they will find a good home but through my sistahs!

So…. if you can follow me on @emilydabella on instagram you will see what I am selling.. I will also ship anywhere. There are stamps from my personal collection, QuickKUTZ dies from my personal collection (check out Paulabella’s card below and how she uses her Quickutz to make sentiments! gorgeousness!) .. things I really need to find a good home for. So if you or anybody else in da sistahood you know would be interested in some goodies at great prices… check out my feed at @emilydabella

it’s WONDERFUL WEDNESDAYS WITH…. KATHY RACOOSIN! and a chance to win!

Hiya sistahs! This month we have another special guest ! Kathy Racoosin.. otherwise known as Kathy Rac otherwise known as The Daily Marker on Instagram.

Today, Kathy features one of our amazing new releases, “CHICKADEER”

This is what our CHICKADEER STAMP AND BUNDLE SET LOOK LIKE..

Let’s see what the lovely and talented Kathy did with this image shall we? You will be AMAZED!

Kathy stamped/coloured/ and die cut the image twice… and look what an amazing delicious adorable scene she created! I seriously CANNOT EVEN..

The little extras on this card are super fun and easy. After coloring the chicks add some copic blending solution on to a rag …just until it’s damp, not to wet) I think you will love the texture that a nubby rag will add to your critters. Add dots to create more texture with your markers.

Using a super fine tip marker .03 you can add tiny details like eye lashes, eye brows and designs on the presents.

For the background I masked a circle and used distress inks fro draw the eye into the center of the card. The look was complete with a stencil on top of the distressed background.

Glossy accents were added to the noses.

Here’s a video sharing Kathy’s process!

and now for some more information on and about Kathy!

Kathy LOVE’s to color and she’s in the middle of her 6th coloring challenge… “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge”. This has become quite a “movement” if I do say so myself. Sistahs take this challenge seriously and devote some crafty time every day to colour something up. It’s SO much fun to participate in AND so much fun to scroll through the amazing posts and amazing talent out there!

Kathy says “This is a good time to jump in if you are new to the challenge, love to color or if you just want to get your feet wet and give the challenge a try. The idea is to color something daily with any medium. Just five minutes, that’s it. I keep hearing how relaxing it is to color and instead of making a full card. The 30 day challenge is really about carving out a little time your day for something that makes you happy. (You are free to jump in and out as time permits). Basically it’s any thing goes challenge and whatever you feel inspired to do.

There are several ways to share what you are coloring. If you want to join a community of coloring enthusiasts I recommend our new FaceBook group or Instagram. Be sure to use the hashtag #thedailymarker30day. (you can also link up your coloring on my blog)

I would be delighted if you wanted to join the challenge and a big thank you to Stamping Bella for the support to the challenge and the sweet giveaway. Hugs, Kathy
