Classy and Fabulous…
Feb 26th, 2008 by Jen
I am always on the lookout for fun sentiments. You can say the Coco Chanel {and Emmabella} nailed this one!! How cute and sassy is this!?!?! I’ve actually had both of these stamps for a little while now just waiting for some inky lovin’. Yesterday Ellie was kind enough to take a long nap between loads of wash and this is what I came up with. I think it’s a pretty good rebound from the sweet and simple side of me that you saw yesterday! You may not believe this…I JUST got that paper less than a week ago. OMG!! I am so proud of myself for not hoarding it for weeks, ahem, months on end. The DP is from My Mind’s Eye {love it love it love it}, the colored cardstock is SU! {Cool Caribbean and Basic Black} and the white cardstock is from PaperTrey. I must tell you that the PaperTrey white cardstock is AWESOME!! It makes the best card base and it is a dream to color on. Savvyshoppabella is colored with Copics. I really like the shadow/ground that I can create using the Copic markers and the Copic blender pen. I used to use the A Muse oval {which I still love}, but I am finding myself using this technique more and more. Maybe it’s because the Copics are already out in front of me. I dunno… Back to the card deets… I scalloped the edges with my small corner rounder punch and added a little bling with Swarovski crystals. This card will most likely see its way to a friend or be a RAK, but I also think that it would be a fun money holder for the shopper girl in the family…oh yea, that’s me. Hmmm…now that’s an idea {Tony, I’m kidding!!}.
Mom Update:
Thank you all again for your support! I spoke with my mom yesterday and she sounded GREAT!! Obviously there is a lot ahead of her still, but I am glad to hear that she is at home, up on her feet and in great spirits. Yay!! She is very appreciative of the cards that she has been receiving. Thank you!! Hugs-Jd
Fabulous card. Love that verse - just perfect. Beautiful coloring.
Awesome card, Jen. I love everything about it. Is the sentiment a stamp too?

Jen~ fabulous card & sentiment…I don’t have this Bella yet…and I have a lot..Love the idea of a money card..I am so “in love” with the copics…glad I invested in them. Great job of coloring her jeans and top…Have a great day with Ellie! Chris

Your card is classy and fabulous too! Love the design and your colours and paper say the same thing…classy and fabulous!
I love this card–too cute! Wonderful to hear that your mom is doing well.
I love this card…you did a great job w/ the coloring, especially. Any chance you could give a tutorial on coloring with Copics…or even just how you grounded the Bella using the blender pen? Thanks!
Your coloring is fabulous, and I love that sentiment!!! Thanks for sharing and for keeping us updated about your mom.
