Some beautiful cards with Elisabeth Bell

Here's a beautiful stamp from Sweet Pea Stamps by artist Elisabeth Bell called Sitting with Teddy. As the saying on the card says that's "as good as it gets." Wouldn't it be wonderful if all our lives could be as simple as that nowadays? Just sitting down with our teddy bear and realizing that life is now as good as it gets? Ah, growing up can be hard. But I will say, sitting down and making this card makes me smile and think, yep, this is as good as it gets!Sweet Pea just released some new images from Elisabeth Bell too, be sure to check them out, they are all on sale at the store this week. I can't wait to get mine. Here's another very simple and clean style card using a wonderful stamp called Standing Pretty.
This card uses a wonderful Elisabeth Bell stamp that I colored with Copic markers in beautiful shades of blue. Then I matched the card colors to the shades of blue used on the coloring. I added simple blue embellishments to create a quick and refreshing card. Wouldn't you love to give this cute card to someone? I can think of all sorts of wonderful sentiments that would go with this little girl, look at the adorable expression on her face!


Be sure to check out the Elisabeth Bell images at the Sweet Pea store.


Have a great week everyone!

  6. Hi Holley - these are both really cute cards. My favourite is the blue one - blue's suppose to be a relaxing colour so as it's late here that could be why the blue one stands out to me.
    Best wishes, Sharon

  11. Thanks everyone, I thought that blue card was just too "simple", but everytime I added more things to it, it just looked better without them. Sometimes the nice embellishments distract from the gorgeous image.
