My First Card with Bella

Good Evening Ladies,

I made this card today to join 2 challenges:

• The Character Cafe Challenge: Stitching
• A Spoon Full of Sugar: Sketch 62 by Caryn

I had never made a card with stitch before and I thought it was done with a sewing machine only, but for my surprise, it can be made by hand too. I found out that in the tutorial that is in the blog.

And for a sketch, I chose A Spoon Full of Sugar one:

So first, I`m going to show you the sketch:

As I mentioned on my post earlier, I`ve swaped images with friends at SSSD Yahoo Group and I received images for Stamping Bella...

I had never seen this stamp before and it is very cute, so I decided to use CakeBella image for this card.

I colored it with copics, decorate the card with ribbon and golden flowers... Sentiment "Just for You" is a clear stamp from Heidi Grace that I receive from a Winnie of SSSD Yahoo Group for the Christmas in July Swap today.

About the stitching, that wasn't difficult at all, the only problem is to make the holes in a straight line... I could have used a ruller to help me to keep the line straight but I did not do that... but as first time doing that, it is not too bad, is it??

Oh, I almost forgot to mention, I sponged ink all around Bella`s image... it is a pitty that we can see that in the photo, but it is quite nice.

Here goes my card:

And here is the inside of it:

So Ladies, please, tell me if I was sucessfull in this challenge!!

Many many thanks for stopping by and taking time to leave a comment.. I appreciate so much!!

Hugs,
