Hi friends! I've had a few things going on, in and out of my craft room -- it's springtime, after all -- but the only thing I accomplished this week is to finally color up this Spec-tacular Vase by Stamping Bella. I don't know why it's been so long since Stamping Bella has crossed my radar, but one day I stumbled upon the Spec-tacular series of stamps and I was completely enchanted. There are a bunch of them at Simon Says Stamp -- look here -- and, oh, my gosh, I want them all! Can you believe I narrowed it down to one? I'm sure I'll be going back for more.
I picked up the Spec-tacular Sentiment Set while I was at it. I have other stamps that will work with these sentiments, too, and one of them is set aside for coloring soon.
Today I watercolored with a variety of Stampin' Up inks, but the gray is Tombow marker. I managed to include some very old Webster's Pages designer paper with the frame and hearts.
My Spec-tacular Vase will be visiting the following challenges today:
Addicted to Stamps and More -- Make your mark.
NBUS Challenge #85 -- My never before used schtuffs are the Spec-tacular Vase and Spec-tacular Sentiment Set.
I had a spectacular lot of fun with this. I hope your day includes some fun as well. See you soon!

What a cute image. Your flowers are colored perfectly and your sentiment is spot on for the image.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this is such a cute stamp set. I might have to check that line out once I get through 1 of my two bins. As usual your coloring is fab.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to 'seeing' more of those sentiments, Leslie - my husband has had such a hard time getting someone to make lenses that work after his prescription changed - after three tries, I think they finally got it!
ReplyDeleteThat darling little guy is just the cutest as you've colored him - absolutely adorable!

ReplyDeleteI have such a big grin on my face you got me with that vase. Hey that rhymes I absolutely love this card and that sentiment it's a must have and yes I'm going shopping thank you for enabling. I love this card.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for some cute images, this one is adorable and works so great with the fun sentiment. WHat a fabulous card, Leslie! I love how you've paired it with hearts and lavely paper.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I missed these stamps, Leslie! How fun and how beautifully colored but that doesn't surprise me at all! Love the sentiment too! Such a treat!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness is that ever too cute, your water coloring of it is gorgeous! Terrific sentiment to go with it! I know what you mean I am so far behind on my blogs but playing catch up tonight.
ReplyDeleteI love all these Stamping Bella sets and these are especially adorable. I'm addicted to watching Marker Geek on YouTube coloring them all up. Your card is precious, Thanks for playing along at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge, and we hope you share with us again soon.
