Bella and Friends Skittles Card

Bella-and-Friends-Skittles-b

I have a super simple card for you today and I’m using the Skittles image from the Bella & Friends Stamp Set.

To be honest I made this card using some scraps left on my desk …. The thick Whisper White card front measures 4-1/4 x 4-1/4 (8-1/2 x 4-1/4, scored @ 4-1/4).  The Old Olive Designer Series Paper is from the Brights Collection and it measures 2 x 4 (it was laying on my desk left over from making Bella cards last week).

Skittles was stamped with Black Stazon ink and cut out with the 1-3/4 Circle Punch.  I colored her with Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen.  And then added it to the 2″ Circle with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

The Real Red Strip measures 4 x 1/2″ and the greeting (“I Love You”) is from the Thoughtful Banners Stamp Set.

Stampin’ Up! Supplies:

Skittles stays with me on Tuesdays and Wednesdays because Chase has work and school on those days/nights and that would be too long for her to be in his apartment alone.    And on my watch last week we had a scare.  I let her stay on top of the cage all day … and she LOVES to pick up her swing and toss it … but  ….. last week when she tossed it … she went with it.  I knew she was hurt but Chase thought she was fine … until Friday came along.  So …. Chase, Brooke and I took her to the vet.  She’s okay … just a bruise …. thank goodness!  And, I’ve taken away the swing until we can find a way to bolt it down.    This explains where I was on Friday when I should have been working … sorry about that!  (I was also at the eye doctor at 8am getting the darn stye lanced … sadly I need to have it done again ….. grrrrr!) 

Back to Skittles … here’s a picture of her today.
