Created by Katie Cotton: Bella Sketch Challenge

The fabulous Sarah of Scrampin' Mama has made a bella sketch. You Can see her sketch and her card here. She will be hosting a new challenge every month.

Without further ado, here is my card...

I used So Saffron cardstock by SU as my base and then layered it with some handmade and mulberry paper. The stamped image is Bubblebella by StampingBella and the sentiment is actually *GASP* a sticker! I tried a few sentiments and i just couldnt figure out how to put it on there in a way i'd like it. So i looked thru my sticker file and found some clear stickers. Now, if you're like me and just not a huge fan of the way flat stickers appear on paper you can use my little trick. I covered the sticker with Liquid Glass (by close to my heart, but there are other brands with similar effects). Suddenly it takes on a whole new appearance!

I'm not sure if you can really see it in the photo... but it looks pretty nifty in person. :)

As my norm... my image is colored with copic markers.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Who I Am!

I'm a mama to 2 awesome little dudes, Jack (6) and Gabe (3) and a wife to a wonderful man. My life is very full and I am richly blessed! I have been a professional makeup artist for a over a decade (holy crap!) but I just LOVE to stamp and scrapbook! So in February of 2009 I started my own stamp company called, what else but... Paper Makeup Stamps! I truly love everything that I do! In 2010 I started to also do a bit of photography and by the end of 2011 I was so blessed and busy with makeup and photo work, that PMS had to turn into a digi based stamp company and I had to resign from the design teams I felt so lucky to be on but I had to refocus my extra time on family. My postings on my blog may not be as frequent as they once were, but I'm still honored that you've decided to peek in!
