The snow is slowly melting here in Sweden. The sun is getting warmer and brings us a lot of new energy. And with more energy - it's time to get on with the Spring cleaning - right?!If you don't feel the energy right away - well join us for our Spring, Cleaning and Summertime Blog-hop! I am sure you all are going to be inspired and get enough energy to hop over to Belles'n Whistles to grab these cuties :-)
Here's the blog-hop order - just in case you get lost:
If you have arrived from my mega-talented DT-sister Rosette's blog - well - then you are on the right track. If not - then you might want to start from the beginning over at our BnW blog.
Also - we would love to hear your comments. We don't want anyone of you to miss the chance of winning the full set of this new release of BnW images. Make sure that you read the details on our BnW blog - for information on how to enter.
I have the honor to present little Belle Dusting Cuckoo. Inked her up with my Memento Rich Cocoa Ink and coloured her with my copics.
The reason why I used Rich Cocoa instead of Tuxedo black was that I wanted a softer and "older" style. The DPs, ribbon and flowers are sent to me from my sweet friend Tammi and they inspired me to go a little bit more vintage - nothing that you see that often from me :-)
I hope you love her as much as I do. Elisabeth Bell has done it again! These new Belles'n Whistles stamps are sparkling clear! They are the finest of sparkling clear, genuine photopolymer stamps around, made in the US! I can only say - you are going to love your new sparkling clear Belles'n Whistles stamps!Looking fwd to hear from you. Now you should pop over to my talented DT-sister Iris blog .
