Space Explorer

Here's a totally awesome Sweet Pea digi-stamp from artist Joanne Schempp called Alien.  I have colored this image completely different from the artist's coloring, so, be sure and go check out the original image to see how very different the image looks here.  I chose colors for the planet surface of Copics YG91-95, as well as adding a very greenish tinge to the moon.

I added a saying from Sweet Pea "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.  It is the source of all true art and science.  Albert Einstein."   I find that saying so fitting in this scene.  That lace across the bottom is some of the gorgeous lace that I picked up while in Istanbul on vacation a couple summers ago.

If you haven't tried the awesome digi-stamps, I highly recommend them!  This image from Joanne Schempp is too gorgeous.  Next time, I am thinking about doing this image up like "the red planet."

Cheers, Holley

Dylusions tag by Randi

Hello all Sweet Pea friends!

Today I want to share a tag which I made, using a text stamp from Plate #2. 
I've colored the tag with Dylusions spray in three different colors, added some bling and doodling around the edges with black and white gel pen. The hug-snug ribbon is also colored up with Dylusions spray and dried with my heat gun. In the end, I spritzed a little Perfect Pearls Mist Pewter, to make the tag shimmer. Since I love doodling, there's a lot of it in the tag... LOL

The finished tag

Love this quote - perfect for many occasions

Bling butterfly ;)

I hope you liked my tag!

Lots of love,

Autumn Passion

This lovely image is drawn by ching chou kuik and available from Sweet Pea Stamps.  Her name is Autumn Passion. Yes, I do realize that I am sitting here wishing for Spring and springlike weather, but she is so pretty, I couldn't wait for fall until I colored her up.

I paired her with some paper from Carta Bella and some pearls in my stash.  I really like the teal, red and black combo.  

Get Inky!

Rosana

 Hello Sweet Pea Lovers. Today i like to Showcase one of Karen Middleton images "Rosana". She is kind a mystery Girl, when you can't see her Face, but you already know she is gorgeous. Don't you think?
The good news is, you can have this image in Rubber Stamp or Digital image. Here is the link to the SHOP, if you like to check this out. So many choices in stamps or Artists.
I colored image with Prisma Pencils and added glitter to the Rose, and distressed edges. Oval Die Cut by Spellbinders

 Here you can see better my embellishments.

 White background i embossed with the folder i got from Michaels Shop. Also i did stitching.

This is it for today everyone, and i see you soon.

Kraft and White

I've been seeing quite a lot of white embossing on coloured card in the online crafty-verse lately and it's a technique I was keen to try. I made this card (itself based off a card I found on Pinterest) and loved the effect and had the idea that white embossing might look lovely on a kraft-coloured card, with perhaps some delicate colouring.

So that's exactly what I did:

I thought this striking Repose image by Brigid Ashwood would be perfect for this technique and I love how she looks embossed and coloured this way.

I stamped her using Versamark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder and then added some delicate colouring using Prismacolor pencils. I layered the image over a second piece of kraft card, which I had dry embossed with an embossing folder and then layered that onto a card blank made from blue card.

I kept the card quite simple and striking, finishing things off with some small flowers punched from blue card, decorating the centres with Enamel Accents and tiny metal cogs.

You can buy this stamp in red rubber format from the Sweet Pea Stamps store.
