Sparkling Stamping Bella

In honor of getting my close to 70 Bella images out in the mail today for a Bella image swap, here's another card featuring a Stamping Bella image, as promised earlier this week. I got this image through another form of image swap, the SCS WISH-RAK group. It is so much more fun to get stamped images in the mail than it is to get bills . . .

This card is another one I made for Sunday's SCS featured stamper challenge. You can see the original card in Kyla/Vitality's gallery here. I changed the stamp set used and the colors, but left the layout the same as in Kyla's original version. The image I used is Stamping Bella's Emmybella. I colored her with Prismacolor pencils, then added some details to the image. I covered her top with Turquoise Stickles and her purse with Black Diamond Stickles. I put some highlights in Emmybella's hair using a Stardust clear gel pen (if only it was that easy to get highlights in real life . . .). So, with all of these little details, "sparkle" definitely was a fitting sentiment for the final product.
