Come Softly



This is my first time I post here. I still am so very excited that I got this wonderful chance being part of this wonderful team, creating for this fabulous stamp company Sweet Pea Stamps.

My first creation I want to show you is one of those lovely image of ching-chou kuik's Fantasy Art Collection. This image is called Come Softly, and you can find it on Plate 25, Sheet #5.

I coloured the image with distress ink pads, as I mostly do. I love those colours. They are so nice to play with. I decided for a spring colour combination of linden green and light blue. One of my fave colour combination at the moment. I've added some accents with yellow Stickles to the blond hair, the wings of the moth, and the white flowers as well.

Cardstock is from a local paper company, the DP is from the Basic Grey Lily Kate collection. I distressed the edges of the paper with a distressing tool. The image is cut by hand with a Fiskars Paper Edger. And the border die is from Magnolia.


The old lace I've found while a walk trough a flea market... I love them and always keep my eyes opened for such stuff. The white flowers are from Making Memories and the roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The callas I've found at a local craft shop. The little butterfly I cut from sheet of vellum, from this national paper company as well.

I hope you'll like my creation. Have a wonderful day and see you soon. Thank you for your visit and for your interest in those gorgeous stamps.
