Belli Challenge 135

 

Hi there and thanks for stopping by! 

Today is Wednesday and it is time for another Belli Challenge. Our challenge for the next two weeks is Frames - Make It Fancy. I must admit this is not my style. I am pretty much a CAS stamper so to make a framed card was a little challenging for me, but I came across some spellbinder labels and just cut them in half to make my frame. The stamp I used is a new set from Sweet 'n Sassy, Together Silhouettes.  I just love it.

I hope you will play along with us, to do that make a fancy frame around an image or decorate a Photo Frame!! Show us Fancy! Link it to the Creative Belli challenge blog and you have a chance to become the Belle of the Belli!

You could go without coloring him at all but I gave him just a touch of color on his nose, hat and buttons. I distressed the edges to make it stand out from the White background. You can find this one and many more cute stamps in the Eureka Store.
