Today we are celebrating the rebirth of the darling SweetArt girls designed by none other than Artist Elisabeth Bell.
Belles ‘n Whistles now has a total of 17 SweetArt girls in their store. They were just too beautiful to be left sitting in the archives. Elisabeth Bells talent deserves better than storage, don’t you think?
Hopefully you have arrived here by way of the Belles 'n Whistles Inspirational Blog. Or from Marion H's Blog. Below my post, you will find the master list of blog hop participants just incase you get lost along the way. If you haven't come for the blog hop, then why not hop in and join us... You never know, you just might be a winner. Prize details can be found at the beginning of this hop.
The stamp that I have to show you today is called "Patches & Braids" you may remember seeing her a few years ago, when she was called "Reflective" but with the rebirth and new ownership of these SweetArt girls, they also got new names. =) I think this one fits her perfectly. I just Loved coloring her, and her beautiful braids.
I loved creating this gate fold card. I haven't made one in such a long time. The papers I used are all from an older DCWV paper stack that I once had. Believe it or not, I must have been saving this paper... I found it in one of my paper drawers. ha ha... You see, when you have a favorite, and you save it, you will sooner or later forget you have it, and then one day, Ta-da, there it is... So it was a nice thing to find, it worked out perfectly for me. I LOVE these papers.
The sentiment that I used is from a new set of Word Art that I made especially to go along with some of the cutest Belles 'n Whistles stamps. Summer has these digi sentiments in her shop right now.... How exciting is that?
I am also entering this card into these challenges:
Paper Take Weekly - "Anything Goes"
2 Sisters challenge - "Color Challenge"
Sketch Saturday.

Thanks so much for joining us, and stopping by my blog today.
