Thank You Card | Bella & Friends

Today's card is a creation inspired by a couple of creative challenges.

It has been a while, but I have finally been able to participate in a What Will You Stamp? Challenge, as usually I don't have the stamp set being featured. But this week, to my delight the WWYS Challenge #98 is highlighting the cute Bella & Friends stamp set - which I own :)

My layout was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches #270 Challenge.

And my colour scheme was inspired by the Stamp Ink Paper #81 Colour Challenge.








Here is my card:


My colour combination is Basic Black, Whisper White & Real Red. I have White heat embossed my bird and partial sentiment from the Bella & Friends stamp set and my die cut Thanks is from the Hello You thinlits set. I have added some subtle (and hard to photograph) sparkle to the heart in the birds beak using my clear Wink of Stella pen.


If you are anything like me and love to collect washi tape, but just can't bring yourself to use it or just don't know how to use it on a project, it is a super quick and easy way to pretty up the inside of a card. Here I have used some retired washi tape in Real Red.


Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my creation.

***EDIT: I am excited to share that my card was chosen as the WWYS Challenge #98 Winner :)

    1. Thanks so much Sue. This is a fave colour combo of mine too. I really need to use my stash of washi and it does add a special touch to the inside, so I think I'll be adding it to more of my cards from now on :)

    1. Thanks so much Kim. As soon as I saw the sketch I knew I wanted to try out a large die cut sentiment along the side, I am really happy with how it turned out. Thanks to the FMS team for the inspiration :)
