A very happy Friday to everyone!
Personally, I'm VERY glad it's Friday because I need to catch some Zzz's and be with my family. How about you?? Got any plans for the weekend? Stella has plans... ;) hubba hubba!
Stella has some BIG plans for the weekend! Love is definitely in the air for her. It's Bellarific Friday again and there was really no excuse to play along this week because Em had the sketch posted for over a week! (She came down with something and subsequently there was no BF last week.)
Most porcelain tubs are white but that's really hard to portray when you color. You can either use gray tones or pale blue hues. I went with the latter this time. I'm not 100% happy with it but I do like how it looks against the pale pink background wash. For some sparkle, I added a bit of glitter to a few of the hearts and Stella's wand with a quickie glue pen. The rest of the card came together pretty easily. Nothing too fancy going on here. :)
The first time around I really enjoyed coloring this Stella doing a Balancing Act in. Second time; not so much. The third time was painful. What you see below is what happens when you decide to spray Glimmer Mist to an image that was colored 6 days ago and you try to fix the bleeding by scrapping away at it with a blade. Mental note to self: don't apply glimmer mist to any red ink...WHAT SO EVER!! I almost cried when I had to redo the image, but then I tried rushing it and had too much water on my brush, all the colors ran into each other and what you see on the card now is my third attempt! LOL What a morning that was!
I hope you all have a lovely weekend what ever it is you're doing. Remember a few weeks back how I said I needed to clean out my car?? That's on my list of projects this weekend...we'll see if I get to it! LOL

This is fabulous, sistah! Love the pink wash...I think it looks fab against the blue tub!
I love how you attached that ribbon! I have to try that. Haven't tried glimmer mist either...so many techniques. It's funny how we randomly used the same basic grey paper today! LOL. Have a good weekend!
You know what they say... we live and we learn through trial and error. Though I totally understand how much it stinks when you have to re-do something you've worked so hard on! ;)
The results were totally worth it though because your image and card look amazing!
Well, third time's a charm cuz' she's gorgeous!! I LOVE her!!
Beeeautiful!!!
Pretty, pretty card! I think the blue was definitely the right choice with the other sweet colors on your card! And I LOVE the ribbon treatment! I am so going to steal that right now for a bookmark I was working on and couldn't decide how to do the ribbon! Okay? Thanks!! :-)Traci
