Friday Feature – AnnaBelle Stamps Printable Pages

Welcome to another Friday Feature at AnnaBelle Stamps. This week the Belles are showcasing the newly released Printable Pages 1 and 2. These are so easy….just print and colour!

I decided to make a little Christmas scene – with snow and all. Very un-Australian…our Christmas’ are usually spent finding places to cool off! I wonder what a cold Christmas would be like? And snow – well I can count on one hand the number of times I have experienced snow – I think the novelty would wear off with me as I hate being cold. Give me a hot day, any day! But I am digressing…

Snow scene

I even used glitter! Another rarity for me. I think I wore glitter for the rest of the day ๐Ÿ™‚

AnnaBelle Stamps Garden Silhouettes Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to AnnaBelle Stamps Friday Feature Blog Hop. If you have arrived from Kylie’s Blog, you are in the right spot.

ff010
Today, the Belles are showcasing the Garden Silhouettes Stamp set. This is such a versatile set with so many stamps in it. Today I decided to challenge myself and use a stamp from the set I had never used before. I chose a little flourishy motif and after some playing, my card and tag were born. I wanted a sentiment that matched the flourish, so I used a portion of a stamp from the Standing Tall stamp set.

Thanks flourish

The little tiny hearts are covered in Ranger enamel accents. Love this stuff!

Flourish tag

As you can see, I am still in Copic colouring mode – but this time I added in some gel pen to add more interest to the flowers. For the circle element I have embossed a circle using a circle nestie and an embossing mat. The flower centres are blobs of white enamel accents – love this stuff!

Elegant Tags

Hello and welcome back to another AnnaBelle Stamps challenge. This week we are saying it with black and white.

Such an elegant colour combo – perfect for a set of simple tags. My inspiration came from this picture I found on Pinterest.

Give thanks pinterest pic

I originally made the black tags (white heat embossing the images), then wondered what the opposite would look like. For this I stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black and the clear heat embossed over the top. I do like the black tags better.

Sister Tag

Friend Tag

Mum Tag

Niece Tag

All the sentiments are from the Designer Flower Stamp set – there are other names in the set as well – Mom, Nan, Grandma and Aunt. Perfect for the special women in your life.
