Tattoo Art and more

Today I want to show you two cards I made lately. The first one is made with this gorgeous image from the ching-chou kuiks fantasy art collection plate # 126. it comes with three other gorgeous images and three sentiments. 

I coloured her up with Distress Inks. The heart is paper pieced. I wanted to surround her with those corners from Marianne Design. The black paper in the background is from Magnolia. For the dots I used a piece of foil with holes, don't know the name of it, and used it as a pencil.  I didn't want to add much more as I guess anything more would be too much. 




For my second card I used one of those fabulous portrait stamps from the Elaine Cox's Art Collection. She is called 'Kiara' and comes on plate # 133 together with three other amazing portraits. She is available as a single stamp as well.

She is coloured with Distress Inks as well. The papers are from Websters Page. For the border I used a Martha Steward punch. The flowers are from Wild Orchid. The lace and ribbon is from my stash.



Thank you so much for having a look which is much appreciated. We just had a release of different amazing stamps from different and new artists. Just go to Sweet Pea Stamps to see them. Some of them are on Sale. 

Have a wonderful day!
Hugs, Karina
