Connie-Sweet Pea STUFF

GIVEAWAY ON MY BLOG!

Click on my name in the DT line-up, go to my blog and sign up for a NEW whole sheet of Sweet Pea stamps! All details are on my blog. OR you could click on the link below:


Here is my final Stuff Swap card. I began with a pretty Sweet Pea image colored with Copic markers.
I layered it over some dp after punching an edge. Layered that over another dp and onto the craft base.
I think this image was intended to be stamped in a horizontal position, but I like it much better upright!



The "Stuff" used for this card was flowers. We had to use them in any way, any style or number for the Stuff Swap. I only had room for one as it was very big. Of course it is a Prima "Calypso".

I used my "new" Viva Decor pen "Black Pearl" to make tiny pearls along the Martha Stewart punched edge. A portion of the verse that comes with this plate #64 was inked and stamped onto a word window
punched piece and matted with black. A faceted black gem sits in the flower center.

If you are thinking of getting a Viva Decor pen I will tell you they are well worth the price. I was able to make some very tiny faux pearls that do not look handmade and of course were much easier to place exactly where I wanted!
