Ok! So I am late with my Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge this week. It’s another color challenge from Alison:

Cute colors, huh? This challenge is called Thoughts of Bella.

I used Bazzill Sparkle, Stampin’ Up! Riding Hood Red and Bazzill Glass Slipper. I really should’ve chose SU! River Rock…but, it’s done.

I used the Mojo Monday Sketch and did both the round and square version! WHOOT! Am I rockin’ it or what? And you know what else I did? I left out Copics today and gave my ink some love.  I really love this color combo for Valentine’s Day! It just fits perfectly (IMHO) with these new Verve stamps!!

This card is on the small side. It is as adorable as can be and so simple to make! If I were doing workshops, I would demo this card! So cute, so easy. You know, the really cool part about this card is that it really gets back to the art of stamping. You know, before Copics came along and we weren’t all being colorist? It’s cool how trends go. Wonder what the next hot trend will be…???

I embossed. That’s standard these days. I remember it wasn’t long ago when I hated embossing. I just wasn’t using the right stuff (thank you, Donna!). Now I just don’t feel complete without it. I stamped the heart with Riding Hood Red ink from SU! (retired, but my very favorite red evah!)

I’m not sure how other people make their scalloped round cards. I didn’t want mine to have a weird scallop edge at the top so I did it like this. It stands up well and I like it.

And then I made a standard A2 size card. This would be another good one to demo. Very easy to make; perfect for beginners! The card is pretty clean without a lot of layers. This is great for people wanting to save on paper. Especially when you are just starting out and you don’t have a large stash. This is a fabulous sketch for that.

I did not emboss! WHA?? I know. It was really hard for me not to. Instead I used Spicas. I know, that’s basically the same as using Copics. I used the Clear to go over the words and Garnet on the hearts.

Here is the inside. I thought it was kind of cute so I’m sharing!

Have you turned in your Stamp Happens sketch challenge yet? Come on people!!! I have 8…I need at least 10!!!   It’s due Friday so hurry, hurry, hurry!
