Opal the Optimist

Happy Friday! I'm back today to share another Stamping Bella image. This is # 2 of 5 that I coloured up.
This pretty gal is called Opal the Optimist.




I coloured her up using Polychromos pencils and blended with gamsol.  I then cut her out using a scallop edge rectangle die from MFT.  The only difference is that I didn't want it as wide as it cut so put the die back over the image to where I wanted it cut narrower and ran it through my Platinum.  I then used my life changing brush and softly added a bit of PTI aqua mist to the bottom right side.

The Lacy scroll along the side is from Tutti Designs called butterfly Scroll. Background designer paper is from Prima - Bella Rouge.

For finishing touches I added some $store rhinestones to the butterfly scroll, and Nuvo glitter pen to the flowers on her dress and glass of wine.

Thanks for stopping by today, I always appreciate when you do.  Have a great weekend!

She's long and lean and gorgeous! Brilliant idea for cutting down the scalloped die, Pauline. I hope I remember that (along with some of your other tips I've probably forgotten). Love how you used the butterfly scroll, too. I have that die and haven't come up with many good ideas for it. The rhinestones are so pretty! I love when you stamp and I can't wait to see the rest of your Bellas!

Now why don't I look like that? Lol! Gorgeous card Pauline, those colours are so lovely and I love the design! The little shaded area and the rhinestones are such a perfect touch, especially against that pretty DP. Have a good week!

That soft inking behind the scroll is a perfect little extra to dress up this cutie even more. Sweet!
