Sandy Allnockabella!
Hello once again, sistahs! It’s Sandy Allnock with one more Bella 2.o for you…this time with Allboxedupabella! 
I used to have a boss whose favorite phrase was “smoke and mirrors.” It meant that, as creatives, we have secreats for how we make our magic, and we keep it among ourselves. All anyone else sees is a poof of magical smoke and glitter, and they have no idea how we did our amazing work! This is a way to do that….add beautiful drawn detail on top of your coloring, and your friends and family will be blown away by your skills! Watch the video below, or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube.
Gorgeous colors and composition! Just showcases the stamped image perfectly.
Oh Sandy that is just beautiful! I am still working on getting the highlight points with my copics & watching you color your bow really helped me. Adding the white & black dots makes the whole thing pop! Thank you for the great tutorials.
awesome tutorial! i love polka dots so this was right up my alley! love it!
What a talent you have! This is a beautiful piece of art. Sandy, you have a great ability for teaching. I love watching you create your beautiful pieces of art. You are simply amazing.
I absolutely love this card. The polka dots gave it such a difference appearance. Just like magic!!! You are one of my favorites to watch Sandy, thank you for giving so much of your time to us.
What a good idea! Adding details will be my next step.
Sweet Sandy. I love those polka dots. I could watch you color all day, but then I wouldn’t have time to make anything. lol
Your coloring is superb!! No “smoke and mirrors” here! Heehee!! Thank you for sharing so much valuable info. I paused the video and grabbed the 3 Copics you used for the yellow just so I could use that combo in future coloring. You rock it, Sandy!
Wow! love what the details do and how easy it looks with your explanation. thanks
You make it look easy. What a fun card and your color choice is striking.
You do such amazing works of art! I just loved taking your copic class. I has helped me a lot. Thank you so much.

Sandy Allnock is my all time favorite Bella color-er. Gorgeous work! I love the new line of Bellas–they look more real and have more feeling to them.
Super cute – ADORE the colors and those polka dots – swoon; gorgeous card!
Such a gorgeous card Sandy! I never would have thought to add the polka-dots, but it makes the image completely come alive! I think of you every single time I pull out my yellow Copic marker(s). 🙂
Thank you Em for bringing Sandy on as a special guest this month. I have enjoyed Sandy’s coloring because she brings a different spin to some of her choices especially skin tones.
Love the card Sandy!! Technique is great! Thanks for sharing
Love love that box treatment. You are such a magician. Thanks for sharing this. The stamps are adorable, everyone of them.
I am no officially a bellman. Love all the cards you have made this month. I know yellow is Sandy’s favorite color, but blue is mine. So my favorite card is the make a wish.
Oops, something went astray in my first post. It should read:
“I am now officially a bellafan.” I really hate autocorrect.
I love Bella Stamps. Just stumbled on your web site and will have to spend a bit more time looking around. Loved the tutorial on painting rocks.
Best one yet. Love it and can’t wait to try this technique myself.
Love the polka dots.
I love how you add extra details to make a stamp seem completely new and fresh. It helps us think of new ways to use old stamps
Love the cool way you did the box and ribbon!!
Oh my gosh! I love the way you did the box! That whole card looks amazing! I haven’t watched the video yet but I will. I love to see how people do stuff so then I can do that stuff. Did you get that? LOL
Do you give Copics classes? I don’t have very many but friends of mine do and I love what they do with them. I want to learn how to do the stuff they do with theirs. Is their something on your blog about classes? If it’s not to expensive I want to take a class.
Love the added polka dots, Sandy.
Oh my! I am going to have to try the black and yellow coloring! This is awesome! Just love what the little details add to it. 🙂
I love this card and this “bella” image. So many I want to color (and give to friends), so little time. Thanks for your super instruction on shadows Sandy!
Seriously Sandy, I could watch you work ALL day! This is an awesome stamp and what you did with it is spectacular! A great job!
These stamps are luscious!
