It's time for another Creative Belli Challenge. and this time we want you to make your own embellishments.
Challenge #121 - Custom Made Bellies
Make your own embellishments, custom dye ribbon, crochet your own flowers, make your own paper flowers or buttons, etc, etc!
The spirit of the Belli challenges is to encourage you to use your OLD and FORGOTTEN embellishments!
Everyone is welcome to play along! Challenge a stamping friend!! Just follow the theme.
Make sure you check out the great ideas the Belli Girls have come up with for this challenge.
On my card I used the Sizzix die Daisies #2 to create my handmade flower. In the flower center, I used a fabric button from Stampin-Up to make it a little more dramatic. The flower is cut from pear pizzazz paper.
I made this into an easel card. It's really easy to do. Here is a link to the tutorial. I found it on splitcoaststampers.
My background paper is from Stampin-Up's greenhouse gala collection. Across this panel I added some chocolate chip satin ribbon.
On the bottom panel I used a border punch also from Stampin-Up and some pearls. This acts as a stop when your card is open and being displayed.
The best wishes sentiment is from the Stampin-Up set "sincere salutations". This one is going off to a friend who is celebrating a wedding anniversary.
Well, it's time to close this post so until next time................. God Bless.
Some other challenges:
1. Splitcoaststampers featured stamper challenge #230. I chose this card to re-create ala Mary Marsh style.
2. Paper Take Weekly has an anything goes challenge.
3. The Top Tip Tuesday blog has a wedding/anniversary challenge. This one is an anniversary card for my friend.
