Connie-Tool Time

This is the card I made from the following Sweet Pea stamp:

This image is drawn by Sweet Pea artist Conie Fong titled

"Kissed By An Angel" and you can find it on plate #198

or by clicking

HERE

As you can see I cut it in half, removing the angel.

I had these cute tool dies I wanted to use and the

angel just didn't go.

I embossed the yellow panel with "Forest Branches"

folder by Cuttlebug and edged with the "Drippy Goo" punch by

Martha Stewart.

The tool dies are by My Favorite Things

"Die-namics Tool Charms"

Copics for color and verse was computer generated.

Thanks for stopping!

Rebecca Sinz's To Bid You Farewell

I have worked on this card for about a week, if you can believe it. You see after attaching the matted image to the base I just couldn't think of the just right embellishments, other than the crystal diamonds. I just didn't want to overwhelm the eye when there is such a beautiful image to look at.

I hope you enjoy it too. ttfn!

Glow

Here's one of the newer images from a sheet of stamps by artist Meredith Dillman called Glow (Plate #202). She's a stunning image on a wonderful sheet of stamps. I love the shimmery wings she has and I added some gorgeous sparkle to them. Be sure to check out the artist's coloring so you can see how my coloring is a different touch.
I added a wonderful sentiment from Oliver Wendell Holmes that says "Where we love is home, home that our feet may leave but not our hearts." I added a huge heart shaped brad from Bazzill and used some yummy cardstock from SEI with gold embossing as my base. I just see this fairy looking out across some distance thinking about her home. As the saying says, even though we are not there, home is with us, in our hearts.
Here's a close up of this wonderful stamp. It's great both individually and with the whole sheet. Also, be sure to watch all the specials this week as Sweet Pea celebrates three years in business and drop by the DT blogs while each member has blog candy from Sweet Pea stamps to give away. My blog candy started on Wed the 25th, and you can still sign up by simply visiting my blog and leaving a comment on Wed's posting (Click here). Best of luck to win a wonderful prize this week as Sweet Pea is celebrating their 3rd year in business and don't forget their wonderful sale at the store!

Have a crafty day!

Cheers, Holley

  I colored this image a long ......long time ago and can't remember the exact colors I used. I know I used these blues to color her B000,B91,B93,B95,B97 and B99.

I used some Glitz papers, Wild Orchid Crafts Rose, Dark blue self adhesive rhinestones, Spellbinder Fancy Labels 3 (I think) and some Distressing ink in faded blue jeans.

This image is by our artist "Nikki Burnette" called "Karmina" and you can purchase her as a single or on sheet #4, Plate #100.

  I used some PinkPaislee paper from the Spring Jubillee collection.

I added a dollie, some Wild Orchid Crafts Roses, Spellbinder's Fancy labels die, Maya Road leaf pins and some aqua self adhesive rhinestones.

The image was colored with copics

Skin: YR000,YR0000,E000,E21 and E11

Cheeks-R20 

Hair: E50,E51,E53 and E55

Aqua/Teal colors- BG49,BG18,BG15,BG13,BG11 and BG10

Pinks- RV19,RV09,RV06,RV04 and RV02

Shadow around image- C2 and C1

I wanted to pull out some of my older images and give them some love.  I still have so many that I have not created with yet.  It's so hard to pick witch one I want to stamp out and create with.

I hope this encourages you to play with some of your images that you haven't created with yet.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day and week.

Hugs:)

Holley's Blog candy

It's celebration time here at Sweet Pea stamps and today Holley's Blog is announcing that to drop by and some candy! This wonderful 3 year anniversary is also coinciding with me and my hubby's anniversary which is this weekend. With that in mind, I had to use this gorgeous stamp to make an Ooo La La card to make him smile. The bottom is covered is lucious lace with roses embedded in it.

This stamp is from artist Anna Marines Collection and is called Violet (Plate #186). Wouldn't this make a pretty anniversary card? I will also say there's 10 bling in black, that's for the 10 years that we have been married. Here's one more subtle thing about this card that no one else would get but me and him, the eyes on this woman are actually two shades of grey. They are small, so you don't see it well here, but my husband's eyes are a faint blueish grey shade. I always think of him when I do grey eyes.

Here's a close-up of that gorgeous lace. I love it that the lace on her outfit has roses too. I could so imagine this lace being on her outfit.

Hope you enjoyed this card and I hope you will celebrate with Sweet Pea for their 3 years of wonderful stamp making!! Please drop by Holley's Blog , http://holleybarnhartsblog.blogspot.com/ and sign up by leaving a comment on the posting with this Sweet Pea card, which will be posted Wed, the 25th, signups will be taken all week and I will announce my blog candy winners next Wed, May 2nd!

Cheers, Holley

Jewelled Fairy

Hi everyone, hope you're doing fine! Today I want to share with you a card I recently made with this beautiful fairy image called 'Jewelled Fairy' by the fabulous artist Teresa Sherman. She is available as a single stamp, and together with three other amazing images on Plate # 192.

I made quite some paper piecing on this image this time. The rest is coloured with Copics.

I only added some scraps to my card and little butterfly.

Thank you so much for your visit. We still have a big Sale going on where you can get amazing stamp to amazing prices. Wanna look?

Elegant Ladies

Here's two wonderful cards using the new sheet that was released by Sweet Pea stamps artist Meredith Dillman (Plate #202). The first card uses Lady in Green, be sure to check out the artist's original coloring, which is stunning, and then look at my coloring here to see a different depiction. This stamp is so gentle and elegant. I added some clear shimmery glitter to her wings.

I also added some beautiful lace to the card that I think looks somewhat like a fan as well as matches the rounded cut used on the image base. I added a nice sentiment from Sweet Pea, "Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream proceeds the goal."

The second card is using a crafty lady, a seamstress, perfect for that crafter in your life. This elegant lady image stands out wonderfully on dark paper. She's designed by Meredith Dillman and is called Fanciful Notions. I colored with Copic Markers, the image was cut out using Spellbinders Nestabilities and edged using Creamy Brown Colorbox Chalk on the edges.

She's sewing in the image, which made her go perfectly with this border punch, using amazing looking textured ruche paper called Khaki Crepe. The card base is Epic Thick Black Columns. I also used creamy brown chalk on the edges to highlight the columned texture. The creamy brown matches the khaki crepe paper color very well. This card would be just perfect for that sewing crafter in your life. Think of the quilt makers, stitchers, seamstresses,...I know so many talented ladies in that line of work. They would just love a card like this.


Have a great weekend. Break out the stamps and have a great time!


Cheers, Holley

More to Share

Hi everyone. Today I have a card to share with you using one of ching chou kuik's  image called "Forest Companion".  You can find her as a single or on sheet #31, plate #110 with 3 other sweet images.

I used some BoBunny paper for my background.  The bird and decorative label are from Colorbok.  I colored the image with copics and cut her out.  I then added some beautiful ruffle trim lace and added some pop dots behind the image and the bird for that extra dimension.

Oh don't look too close as I forgot to color her eyes and lips.  Oh well maybe no one will notice, but they will now as I told on myself.

 Here is a side view that shows some of the dimension to the card. 

Here is my second card using an image by our featured artist over on the store... Rachel Anderson.

I used "Queen of Hearts" , you can find her as a single or on sheet #4, Plate #201.

Adjust your eyes because this red will pop out at you.

I used these red copics to color the whole image.

R35,R37,R59,RV99, RV25, RV23 and the darkest shadows I used W9

I used some Valentine's paper, some big buttons, Queen of heart card, 2 different Memory box dies and a Spellbinder die to frame the image.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.

Hugs:)
