Belles 'N Whistles~~All Customer Blog Hop

WELCOME.....
To the Belles ‘n Whistles “All Customer Blog Hop”  I am so excited to be a part of this special release.   Along this hop you will find those new releases.   As customers of Belles ‘n Whistles,  we get to play along using any of our favorite BnW Stamps or older SweetArt stamps that were once sold by Sugar Nellie.....

Today we are celebrating  the rebirth of the darling SweetArt girls designed by none other than Artist Elisabeth Bell. Belles ‘n Whistles now has a total of 17 SweetArt girls in their store.  They were just too beautiful to be left sitting in the archives.  Elisabeth Bells talent deserves better than storage, don’t you think?

If you have just popped in, it would be great if you started in the beginning, and hopped along with us. You will find the master list of participants over on the Belles ‘n Whistles Inspirational Blog.  To keep things easy, please follow that list and leave a comment on each blog.  Do you know why?  Because YOU could win a stamp from Belles ‘n Whistles, just for leaving some love along the way.  There will be FIVE winners chosen randomly from comments that have been left along the way.  No one knows who’s blog the winners will come from.

So sit back, grab a cup of coffee, tea, or Lemonade and enjoy all the fun and exciting things we, the Belles ‘n Whistles Customers, have to share with you today.
Now onto my creation~~~  I used an EB image of old from Sugar Nellie Stamps called Windswept.  If you ~~Click Here~~ it will take you to the Most Amazing Artist of all!!~~ Elisabeth Bells Blog and you can see where and maybe when this little cutie will resurface :)  
Made a card with matching journaling notebook!!
Colored images with copics and for sun and sky backgrounds I used TH-DI.  Used the sketch from The Sugar Bowl Blog!! Accented with lots and lots of sparkle using Viva Decor Pens, Viva crystal gel using Crafter's Workshop swirls template and glitter dots which can all be found at the SCACD Store.  Paper ribbon ruffle border made with a Marianne creatable--these dies cut so nicely everytime :D  Cardstock and dp is all from SU. Doily made with SB Contemporary Hearts Shapeabilities~~inked with TH Mustard seed and tea DI~~then took my Viva pens to add pearl drops :)
Used the masking technique to add the Magnolia fence and sky.  Her apron and shoes were coated with Sparkle Mod Podge--oh so pretty with the sparkly shine and colored flecks~~shucks it doesn't really show in pics :)
Sentiment is MFT Die-namics set.  
Flower arrangement includes Prima painterly petal and camelot rose along with Wild orchid roses and aster daisies.  Leaves made with Nellie Snellen and MS punches.  
 I am honored to be part of this wonderful B'nW  Hop~~ Thanks for visiting and Do leave a comment cuz you may end up winning a stamp from B'nWhistles!!!

A few challenges I would love to enter are:
The Sugar Bowl #64~~ Kiki's Sketch w/ opt lace theme-- my card has a paper lace border in green dp
BnWhistles ~~So girly!!
Bunny Zoe Crafts #14~~Fun in the Sun
Charisma Cardz #31~~Bingo (I went first row vertical --flowers, pearls, glitter)
