WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

Sistahs,  Elaineabella and I have put our heads together and we have come up with a FANTABULOUS ideaR… wanna hear?  k.

why it’s Colourmaps of course!

We will slowly be introducing colourmaps which will be included with every current image we have.. this IS a work in progress and right now we have  UPTOWN GIRL REILLY and UPTOWN GIRLS the THREE AMIGAS available.  These colourmaps will be available to those purchasing the images as of today.  I will update in the descriptions of the stamps if there is a colourmap included or not.  We will also be offering different downloadable colourmaps for a nominal fee in the near future.

Ok.  I took a breath… and now I will tell you what a COLOURMAP is.

Throughout my almost 10 years of Stamping Bella I have always gotten the questions.. how do I colour these images?  What do you recommend?  Copics?  how do they work?  what colours do I use?  what colours blend together?  HELPPPP MEEEEE…

Well Elaineabella and I have solved this problem 🙂

and this is what a colourmap is

So what you will receive with the stamp is a copic “guide” with blendable colours and inspiration for blends in conjunction with our images!  Seriously.  This is brilliant.  no?

Oh and you will notice we have a new logo :)… There is a new website coming soon with a great new look.. easy navigation along with a release and some amazing news and product…

so bear with us sistahs during this CUH-razy time… we are still here making some magic happen

here’s a closeup of our new logo coming soon to a theatre near you 🙂

Making cards is cool sistahs.  Really cool.
