Belle's n Whistles All Customer Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Belles ‘n Whistles “All Customer Blog Hop”  . I am so excited to be a part of this special release. Along this hop you will find all the new releases. And we, as customers of Belles ‘n Whistles, get to play along using any of our favorite BnW Stamps…

Today we are celebrating the rebirth of the darling SweetArt girls designed by none other than Artist Elisabeth Bell. Belles ‘n Whistles now has a total of 17 SweetArt girls in their store. They were just too beautiful to be left sitting in the archives. Elisabeth Bells talent deserves better than storage, don’t you think?

If you have just popped in, it would be great if you started in the beginning, and hopped along with us. You will find the master list of participants over on the
Belles ‘n Whistles Inspirational Blog. To keep things easy, please follow that list and leave a comment on each blog. Do you know why? Because YOU could win a stamp from Belles ‘n Whistles, just for leaving some love along the way. There will be FIVE winners chosen randomly from comments that have been left along the way but no-one knows who’s blog the winners will come from so be sure to leave a comment on every blog!!

So I decided to use the "Fairy Play" stamp from Belle's and Whistles!! Admittedly this is my only Belles n Whistles stamp but I think she is just gorgeous and I love being able to colour her and give her dress some texture!!

I used a sketch from The Pixie Cottage and decided to use Kraft stock which I probably use once a year but I always see cards made with Kraft  and I just love the way they look.   I coloured Fairy Play in with Tria's and also used some shimmer chalk on her wings! The Polka Dot paper is from Kaisercraft and I embossed the Kraft Card Stock. I then made my flowers, added them and the charms, ribbon and rhinestones. I added glitter the headband and blanket on the image and on the wings!! I wasn't sure if I should add anymore embellishments so I asked my friend Sam who is always straight with me good or bad when it comes to my cards and she said it looked beautiful just the way it was. Thanks Sam!!
So now that you've seen my creation continue your journey to see what the rest of the Belles ‘n Whistles Customers, have to share with you today. You won't be disappointed!!

I'm entering this into the following challenges:
* Belles n Whistles Challenge Blog -So Girly
* The Pixie cottage - Sketch and A Time to Learn
* Card Cupids - Buttons and/or ribbon
* Frosted Designs - Colouring
Until next Time...Enjoy!! xx
