Good Friday morning! Yay, I am so glad we are almost to the weekend! It has been a long week and today will be another long day; I look forward to tomorrow where I can just kick back and relax. I might even sleep in until 6!
Our challenge this week was "flowers". I love this image so it was my first choice to use. I had planned to only color the flower, but when my card was almost done DD let me know it didn't look good.... Sometimes I am not sure if it really doesn't look good, or if she is just being ornery with me.... She is 11 and I am finding at times she can be quite contrary, while other times she is just so sweet and loving. It is becoming hard to gauge her moods; I am thinking it is all a part of growing up.... This too will pass!
Well, since I decided I had better color my Bella I had some fun with her. I colored her pants to look like the new black/white tweed ones I have and I gave her lowlights in the front of her hair. I added some Doodlebug glitter to the flower and a large Bella Dot in the middle. The bottom right corner has 3 small Bella Dots.
I used Jen del Muro's "Sketch for You to Try" It was supposed to have an embellishment on the upper left side of the image panel, but I discovered that it would cover Bella's head which was probably not a good plan after I gave her the lowlights and all.... Regardless, I think it was really a fun sketch!

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: PTI Stamper's Select, Hibiscus Burst and True Black, Doodlebug DP

I hope you'll stop on over at Blogabella and take a look at the other entries for Bellarific Friday; I am always amazed at the beautiful cards.
Thanks for stopping by; I hope you have a great Friday! Tomorrow is the Tiddly Inks blog hop so I will be back with another card....
