Bella the Elephant...

Good afternoon crafty bloggers...

It's been a busy week back to work after the Easter break and I've been feeling a bit tired so any spare time has been spent cardmaking rather then on the laptop...

I had some gorgeous stamps and papers sent to me by Dulcie and Matt 

at Wild Rose Studio and the main character in the new range is this little cutie...

Bella the Elephant.

I coloured with Promarkers and used blendable pencils to add a little bit of finer contrast in the shadows.

 The Bella paper pack is in lovely girly pinks and lilacs and has bold and gentle spray florals...spots and dots and some butterflies.

 WRS have also produced a stamping set of 6 very versatile circle sentiments.

One of which you can see here...I have threaded my green ribbon stem through it on this card.

and some challenges...

Paper Crafting Journey...Use 3 or more patterned papers

Paper Playtime.....A Birthday card with a sentiment

Card Makin Mamas...Make it Girly

Wags'n'Whiskers...Anything Goes

Check back here for my next Bella card or pop over to the WRS blog and check out lots of new stamps and maybe some news about the new DT members!
