Hi everyone! I was so excited to receive an invitation from Shannan (a.k.a. Supreme-Bella-Enabler) to participate in a Bella hop! What fun! Our task was to create a holiday treat or gift using Stamping Bella holiday or winter images.
Happy Holidays from Polly
I paper-pieced Polly Packages, adding shading with a gray Copic. I cut short pieces of white string and attached those to the ends of the scarf. I didn’t have a Nestabilities die in the size I needed so I just layered Prism Natural cardstock onto the same. (It’s a passable fake of an embossed piece.) Once I assembled Polly, I added three tiny red rhinestones as berries on her hat.
I began with plans to decorate a paint can but that turned into a bit of a nightmare so I went with something much simpler…a Boxi-bag. The box itself is brown so I covered it with the patterned paper, adding a dot of Star Dust Stickles to the center of each snowflake.
The Boxi-bags are perfect for Inchies, but I think a bigger focal point works just as well. Since my image was the same width as the front of the box, I simply adhered the bottom portion to the box.
The little streamers were made by twisting the thin strips of patterned paper around a thin paintbrush.
Isn’t she sweet? I just love this image!
I could only find fall/Halloween-ish candy so I bought dark chocolate M&M’s and picked out the yellow ones (and ate them).
Be sure to check out these other gals who are participating in the hop! I’m sure their treats are FABULOUS and I can’t wait to see them!
