Kween Bee Kreations: Bella Breeze

July 29, 2008

Bella Breeze

I participated (for the first time) in the Mojo Monday sketch on the Poetic Artistry blog this week.

Considering I had a sketch in front of me, this card was easy to create. The Mojo Monday sketch helped me get some of my “mojo” back. I am very happy with the color combination, layout and overall look of this Kreation.

I started my card with a Baja Breeze base, added a 4” x 5 ¼” card front using a piece of the “soon to be released” Bella Rose Designer Series Paper. This print is done in Riding Hood Red & Pink Pirouette…LOVE this paper.

I added some textured Riding Hood Red paper underneath the Baja Breeze top layer and I used Stampin’ Up!’s new scallop punch along the bottom of the red card stock.

For my image, I first inked the butterfly from the “Dreams du Jour” set in Pink Pirouette and stamped an image. Then I inked it again in Riding Hood Red and stamped off to the side – this way I got a staggered/layered effect. Under the image, is a 1 3/8” punched circle in Riding Hood Red and a split scallop in Baja Breeze and Pink Pirouette textured cardstock. (If you enlarge the image you can see the detail).

Instead of a ribbon running across the top, I chose to use textured Baja Breeze card stock and even used a sliver of the cardstock to secure my button in place. The kindness sentiment is from the "Heard from the Heart" stamp set (also released August 11, 2008)

Isn’t this button the cutest thing? These buttons will be released with the new Fall/Winter Idea Book & Catalog on August 11^th. You WILL want to order yourself some of these for your embellishment collection. To see more button designs, please click here, then scroll down.
