The first comment correctly identifying that quote will get this card! 2nd and 3rd will also get RAKs, just cuz I'm in a good mood today! :-) Therefore, I've turned on comment moderation.I'm so impressed with myself. I went upstairs at 8:05 after getting my daughter to bed. I knew I wanted to make just one more Bella card last night, and I had all these wonderful Bella images from my friend Stephanie. I also REALLY wanted to use my new Au Chocolat paper which I hadn't even opened yet (for shame - especially since I got it way back in Paris!) I loved this project over at Splitcoast where kathyj30 brayered a sheet of Au Chocolat with cool caribbean ink to get another color, and thought that would be fun!
So, with Au Chocolat in hand, I cut my cardstock, inked up my brayer with Pink Passion and got to work. I layered it on Pink Passion, then had to pick out which Bella to use. For hot pink, we needed to Rock! So, I chose Rockabella. I colored her in (used markers this time...still too lazy!) and then decided she needed some glam...so I pulled out my stickles. Now I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but the glitter seems to get "stuck" in my stickles, and I just get the clear gel coming out sometimes. So I stick in my paper piercer, pull it out, and it works for a second, then gets stuck again. I did this a few times - once even pulling the nozzle top right off! Then, a big spluge came out! Poor Bella!! I used my small watercolor brush to clean her up, and then used that to spread the stickles around more evenly. I had already sponged her edges, so now I just needed to assemble everything - but first, some paper piercing which you can't see. I left my stamp room at 8:36! Phew...just 30 minutes!
I will admit, when I went back up this morning (after sending Phil and Julia off on a bike ride to the Rhine for a picnic!) I added the silver touches.
I just LOVE her glittery jumpsuit, and her electric blue guitar!! Fun, fun, fun!

It was from my favorite show the A Team. It was said by Hannibal Smith. How hot waqs he? I always have had a thing for older men. LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is more than awesome...wow!
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteCute card...Wasn't that quote from Murdock on the A-Team?

Love the cards! (as always...) okay don't want to scare you anymore on how much we are alike ... but my first car while in college was a Toyota Tercel and then my hubby and I - while we were still dating - bought a celica and our weekends were spent cruising the mountain roads of WA, ID and Montana......scary!
ReplyDeleteCan I help it if I check her blog without waiting for a FeedBlitz notification. I believe the quote is from the character Col. John "Hannibal" Smith of the A-Team. It is okay that she will hold my comment until someone else answers. She did tell me she was working on a new card with a Bella, so I know it wouldn't be fair, and besides what would I do with a RockingBella card!!?? LOL
ReplyDeleteHannibal from the A Team said this. Our son loved watching the A TEam. It was one of his favorite shows. Awesome bella. Thanks.

Hi Jana! Cute card - never would have thought of coloring the Au Chocolat paper - what a great idea!!! The A Team right?? I know I'm not first, but didn't want to appear to be ignorant! :) Hope your weekend was great!!
ReplyDeleteHannibal...from the A-Team! My husband says this all the time although Murdock was my favorite!

Hannibal...from the A-Team. Loved that show, although Murdock was my favorite...
ReplyDeleteI have no idea who said this, but I know the comment. I love your Bellas. Mine just arrived this weekend so now I have to get those girls mounted and stamped.

Surely that would have to be John 'Hannibal' Smith from The A Team.....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to ink over the designer paper!! Looks soooo cool! Thanks for that idea, I'll most definately be showing that one off.
