Just in the mood for some goofy thing this evening...
Playing around with today's sketch challenge, I wanted to use my Cruisabella (perhaps some result of my yearning for some sun, with so much rain in the last weeks that I could hardly use my convertible this summer!). But I wanted to do some brayering and sponging, too - I'm always practising in some silly hope that one day I could achieve "Zindorfian" results...
SO - though I assume that Michelle would never use a Bella on her cards and though I assume that Bella-Fans hardly use a brayer I just imagined how Bella would look like if she just was on her way to a private Zindorf-brayering class... (oh my gosh, would I be envious of her about that, LOL).
I first stamped Bella with Black StazOn on glossy cardstock, then masked her completely with some post-it notes and created the street, grass, sky and sun by sponging different shades of Adirondack inks (masking parts of the scene as needed). I added some definition to the grass with some mini stamps and added some flowers with markers. Then I stamped the trees, Bella still being masked. I removed the masks and colored Bella, the car and the trees with Tombow markers and added some highlights with a white gelly pen. Finally I attached it onto green cardstock, added the corner brads, the ribbon and dp and attached it onto a white card. Oh, and because it's a BellaMobile, it needed some sparkle, so I added rhinestones for the headlamps.
Michelle, please forgive me, I love your cards and tutorials, I just had to do something daffy, so I combined your wonderful scenes with this Bella! And all you Bella-holics, please forgive me, I really admire your super-sweet and perfect Bella cards - I'll try to get to something more "serious" again next time...
BUT...don't you think, this Cruisabella has just a lot of fun on her way to the private Zindorf class???

Hey Christiane!! I finally got to looking on SCS. Your cruiseabella is fun!!! I love the red car with the bling on it. She looks wild - her blond hair flying in the wind.
