Bella

Hello all!  We are going to continue with our octagonal theme for just a little bit longer.  Introducing Bella this hour to you.  Bella is also octagonal shaped but she has a bit more wild style to her.  Admittedly, she looks lovely when layered up as well as you can see from the sample shown here in cream and black.  Bella also plays very nicely with  the larger Noble Octagons, you may have spotted the one used in the background of the frame from the Noble set.  This die looks great on its own but think of the possibilities when used with any of the other octagonal shaped dies!  I have one more in this theme to show you at noon, but don't forget your comment!  All for now, Sue x

    Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a beautiful die, it reminds me of waves running round the outside, isn't it amazing what comes into your head when you first glimpse a new die. The sample is gorgeous as always Sue.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

    Happy Saturday Sue. This is almost similar to the really early dies you designed with the big curly Q's as you use to call them, the floral type centre is so pretty and the whole frame fits in really well with what you've shown us so far. Looking forward to the rest of the day. Have a happy day Sue xxx

    I love this die, and am sure it will be a go-to die for many occasions. The ivy corners on your card are very pretty

    Good morning Sue,
    Bella is beautiful, just like your example. A very clever design that matches the octagons and yet can be used alone without it being obviously octagonal. My wishlist is growing ever longer!x

    Move over Sophia, I just fell in love with Bella too.
    I agree with June Smith: Bella does convey a sense of waves.
    That must be the interior heart layer of the Lavish Accented Noble Octagons behind her on this card.
    My eyes are licking their lips!
    Thank you, Sue!

    Best,

    Hi Sue
    What a beautiful die, as June says it reminds me of waves on the outside but a spiders web in the middle so perfect for pretty Halloween (is there such a thing? Haha). The card is lovely too, I'm liking the corner Dies, they are like the ivy set, I can't remember the name.

    What a pretty die, so delicate and would be set off to perfection by some of the plainer octagonal shapes..I must admit I didn't think I could be won over from the Hexes but these Octies are just fabulous - but I don't have to choose, I can have them all can't I!...lol

    When I was taking a closer look at the Bella die set, I said to myself: "interesting". Then when I read your writeup for your card design, I smiled when I read your discription of Bella as: "she has a bit more wild style to her". Your discription of Bella is perfect. Bella is a "free spirit"!

    Sue, I have to say that it was a thrill to meet you at Creativation. I've never attended before, but it was fantastic.

    I really enjoyed speaking to you and watching you work with the different Creative Expressions mediums.

    This is one of my favorite dies from your new release although I like the new stained glass entries as well. Bella is in my shopping cart and hopefully in my hands soon along with some of your other new ones, and of course I had to get a few of the Pixie Powders after watching your demos.
