Stamping Bella - Happy Birthday !!

 

This is a birthday card from a friend - I know she has received it so I can now publish it. 

I wanted to keep the card pretty clean and wimple as I think the image spoke for itself.

I coloured Paisley coloured with Copic Markers and just used with the  Doodlebug Kraft in Kraft Color Paper.  It did feel a little bare so I added with a tab embellished with a few dangled beads and pearls!!
