hiya sistahs!
I made a DYLAN LOLLIPOP card yesterday and just had to share.. oh how i lovey him! I used one of my FAVORITEST brands of paper COSMO CRICKET ( the BOYFRIEND collection). I stamped him on BELLA’S BESTEST PAPER of course, and colored him in with copics as a base and shaded with prismacolors (Will be loading individual prismacolors online in the next couple of days!). The paper was a very stark white, so I learned from my bestest teachers Paulabella and Lindabella.. (not sure which one but I am SURE they will correct me this weekend and let me know who taught what..LOL). To correct the “starkness” I used one of my colorbox stylus’ and sponge with versamagic WHEAT ink (a wonderful invention if you ask me).. rubbed it all around the card in small circles over a craft mat and voila! STARK-FREE! LOL. Now for the embellishments!
The red Button and the turquoise and green buttons are both QUICKUTZ dies which I am sold out of but have re ordered.. they are just a staple to have in your quickutz collection, IMHO. I have been waiting a while to load the GLITTER RITZ online but I am FINALLY doing it today! Along with my ABSOLUTE FAVORITEST silk ribbon.. OMG.. it is smooshy and wooshy and ties into a wonderful bow.. LOVE IT. I will try to make a more VISUAL tutorial on the amazing ULTRA ULTRA fine glitter ritz glitter but for now, i will tell you what I did to make those “buttons”. I cut out the QK button die out of QUICKUTZ Self Adhesive CHIPBOARD on my big shot machine. I peeled off the adhesive off of one side of the button. I then poured the glitter ritz color over the exposed adhesive button, brushed away the excess with my finger or a blush brush or shaving brush, and then rubbed the remaining glitter with my finger in a burnishing motion to shine up or “buff” the color… PHENOM PHENOM PHENOM!! I am in love with this glitter.. sold out twice in the store and have to replenish!
I also wanted to remind you that this Bellarific friday (due tonight) is a WILD CARD.. so any bella stamp, any layout anything goes!
Mwah sistahs!

This is totally sweet!!! LOVE the glitter buttons and what a FABULOUS colouring job!!!
Hey Emily ~ Your cutie-pie (¯`’•.¸¸•Dylan Lollipop•.¸.•’´¯) is so sweeeet! And I’m REALLY liking the Quickutz button dies; especially how you embellished them to resemble priceless, classical buttons.
But you have to do me one favour pls.———> stop teasing & posting all these neat & new items, then telling me in the next breath that you’re out of stock at the moment! eeeeek !! lol
P.S. Can’t wait for the class on Saturday 🙂
Em, he’s wonderful! Your coloring is great! Those glitter buttons are uber cool. You are killing my pocketbook.
copics AND pencils YAY!….i think those classes that paulabella and I are doing are certainly paying off! and to set the story straight…the sponging idea was MINE, but the wheat ink is HERS! May everybody sponge their finished work!!!!!!!!
