Oddball Queen of Hearts | Stamping Bella

HEY FRIENDS! Today’s coloring project features the Oddball Queen of Hearts stamp by Stamping Bella. This is one of my favorite Stamping Bella images so I like to pull it out of my stash every now and then and color it again.

I’ve linked all supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

Coloring Notes

For the dress, I underpainted the shadows and folds with warm grays (W3, W5, W7) and covered it all with a layer of R29. This is a little easier than coloring those folds with a variety of red markers. Also, I used the BV20s for the hair and the apron. I like this color combination because it’s not as flat as coloring with the traditional gray combinations – at least to my eye.

That’s all for today!

Oddball Super Hero | Stamping Bella

HEY FRIENDS! I’ve not really been in the mood to make cards. To be honest, I have quite a collection of cards on hand so I don’t really need more. But I would like to color so I went back through my stash, pulled out a couple of favorite images, and started coloring. Here I’m featuring the Oddball Super Hero by Stamping Bella.

I’ve colored this one before (and I even have a video of the earlier version). But some stamps are so fun that you have to color them more than once!

That’s all for today!

Bundle Girl with Lily of the Valley | Stamping Bella

HEY FRIENDS! I splurged this past weekend and added to my stash with a few purchases at Goldenhill Papercrafts in Clifton, Virginia. Not that I need any more supplies! But I couldn’t resist this sweet stamp by Stamping Bella – Bundle Girl with Lily of the Valley. It’s been awhile since I used X-Press It Blending Card and I’d forgotten how easily it blends Copic ink. I suspect that I’ll be pulling it out more often.

Bundle Girl Cherry Blossoms | Stamping Bella

HEY FRIENDS! I’ve got something different for you today. I bet you think that all I color are cute bunnies and sometimes that’s what it feels like. So for a change of pace, I pulled out one of my favorite Stamping Bella images today — Bundle Girl Cherry Blossoms — to share with you today.

I stamped the image on Hammermill cardstock using Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black and then colored the image using Copic markers (see list below). I fussy cut the image, added foam squares to the back and set it aside.

For the back ground, I used the Diagonal Stitched Rectangles die set to cut both a plain and decorated rectangle from Hammermill cardstock. On the plain bordered piece, I stamped an image from the Stamp Set #399 Framework Elements stamp set using Archival Ink in Watering Can. Next, I used the Lotza Dots Stencil to inkblend a random design. I intended using Distress Oxide in Twisted Citron, but I hadn’t cleaned off the stencil from the last time I used it so I ended up with random colors that transferred from the stencil. A happy accident!

I created an A2 cardbase cut from Neenah Classic Crest and assembled the layers as shown.

That’s all for me today!
