A Bella Christmas!

Hello! We had a snow storm hit our area this weekend, forcing me to cancel my exciting plans. Some friends from college and I were going to spend the weekend celebrating Christmas in Hershey Park, but the snow forced us to cancel.  This left me with some free time this weekend! I decided to make some more Christmas cards.
My first card was highly inspired by a card I saw on Shannan's blog, using Eloise Greengrass as a Christmas fairy.  I imagined that she was holding a poinsettia flower.  I colored the chichi in with my Aquapainter and reinkers (Soft Sky, Wild Wasabi, Purely Pomegranate, Pink Pirouette, and Blush Blossom for skin).  I added Cotton Candy and Fruit Punch Stickles on parts of her dress and flower.  The pink background is embossed with a Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder.  The sentiment is from a SU! set, and is layered on 2 ovals.
For my next card, I followed BSC59 on the Bella message boards on Splitcoast.  I used glideabella, and she was also colored in with my Aquapainter and reinkers (same colors).  I used some Soft Sky designer prints paper, paired with an embossed piece of Pink Pirouette.  I punched out some small flowers and layered a Martha Stewart punched snowflake on top.


Have a great week! I know I will, since it's only a day and a half long! :)
