Exotic Halloween.....


This is one of the very first Sweet Pea stamps that I ever got and have been waiting to showcase her.  Her name is "Exotic Halloween by ©ching-chou kuik".  I think she is a sumptuous way to celebrate Halloween. She can be purchased as a single stamp or on a sheet with 3 others.


As most often I have colored my lovely with copics and then added stickles to parts of the image, got to have the sparkle!!  The glow of her candles got a nice thick coating of Glossy Accents.  My background was done with a Versa Mark pad and chalk. I used a technique for highlighting her that I saw on one of my blogging buddies posts. I took a double sided piece of DP and decided where I wanted my picture to pop out and started cutting down to the center.  After, I took each cut and an eyelet and adhered them to each other.  I left a bit of a loop on each one to give depth! I also took some crinkly seam binding ribbon that I made and whipped up the green and purple flower. I think it kept the softness of this exquisite beauty!!! 

Don't forget to visit "In A Sweet Pea Dream" and try your hand at the current challenge!

  8. Gorgeous Kym. I really like the way the image is done behind the candle glow. So realistic with the 'fuzziness'

  9. I love the blue background - looks like she's in a mist. The "exploding star" is a great accent too.
