it’s DESIGN TEAM THURSDAY with KATHY RACABELLA!

Hiya sistahs!  Here is another amazing card and post by our KATHY RACAbella using our  FALL BACKDROP (minus the fall tree :)) and our LITTLES APPLE PICKING stamp

and a closeup of the finished card 🙂

Hello Everyone! How are you today? My name is Kathy Racoosin and I am happy to be back on the Stamping Bella Blog today.

I have a few tips to share with you today. For example, what to do if you get ink on your cardstock … do you stamp the image again? Not me 🙂

For my card I used this sweet little girl from the stamp set called, LITTLE BITS APPLE PICKING ,  I also used this FALL BACKDROP.

I love all of the Stamping Bella background stamps. Today I was short on time so I cut this background down. The big smear on my misti should have been wiped off before I stamped this but, I thought it would be ok. If you choose to work with the mess up it can work to your benefit by stretching your creativity.

In my video I show you how I added texture to the dirt road. I like that the large ink spot determines where my images go and I don’t have to figure out the best place.

Sometimes it’s nice to just cut out an image. To make it easy to cut the scarf out I cut off the fringe. A pattern was added to her scarf and shimmer to the apples. I always enlarge the eyes and add eyelashes.

This photo shows all that shine.

The stamp sets I was working with didn’t have any sentiments so I decided to make my own. I could have typed it on my computer, print it, & cut it out … but, I opted to go rouge lol. Using a black fine tip sharpie marker I drew my own talk bubble and wrote inside it. Super easy and speedy!

Thanks for your visit today and have a lovely weekend! Hugs, Kathy Racoosin from The Daily Marker
