Thank whatever….it’s Friday! I’m here today with my Bellariffic Friday card to share, and a promise that there will be more posts here very soon.  In fact, I have three lined up for the next few days.  Blog posts are like buses, you wait for ages and then three come along all at once. 😉

This week was an “Anything Goes” theme, so I took the opportunity to indulge in one of my favourite pastimes – chopping the legs off Uptown Girls!  Well, this time I butchered an Uptown Couple – bonus!  I do love how cropping the Stamping Bella Uptown Couple Brett and Brenda stamp (also available in the UK at Quixotic Paperie) means you can easily use this wedding themed image for a more general “love” themed card such as Valentine’s Day or for an anniversary.

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Make it Colour Blending Card and coloured with ShinHan Touch Twin Markers.  I cropped the image using a Spellbinders circle die.  The designer paper is from an old Marianne Designs pad and I added the lettering with some Doodlebug rub-ons.
