ANNA MARINE'S VIOLET and LOVE

I am so excited to announce that this is my first post as a fully fledged member of the SWEETPEA design team.

I have many favourite SWEETPEA ARTISTS so it was difficult to chose which one to use for my first posting. As with most of my cards I chose the image that appeals to me most on that particular day and today it was this gorgeous stamp by Anna Marine called VIOLET. In Anna Marine's original artwork she has coloured her quite dark and vampire as is so popular at the moment. I have decided to colour her both ways. In the first one I have coloured her much softer as I think she is quite beautiful and I have chosen a more sepia vintage washout colour palette.






and now the same stamp coloured with the darker tones.


Details:

Stamp Used: VIOLET by Anna Marine. This stamp can be purchased as a single stamp or you can purchase the plate which includes four of Anna Marine's gorgeous stamps.

For further details of how these cards were compiled please check out my blog here.

I have used one of Anna Marine's earliest stamps and have used Copics and pencils as my main colouring medium.
This image is called L.O.V.E. by Anna Marine is available as a single stamp and is also as a stamp plate (4 stamps- Anna Marine's Sheet 1, Plate 141) to view click here.

  4. Wow Sharon, your cards are amazing. Love all the embellishments but I must say your L.O.V.E. card is my fav. I love how colored her in pinks and softly to go along with the sentiment but it just speaks of unery...and devil in disguise if that makes any sense.
    Welcome to the team!!!! :-)
