Beautiful Women

Here's two very different cards in very differnt styles using two amazing artist's stamps.  The first card uses a stamp named Summer from Sweet Pea artist Karen Middleton.  Isn't she gorgeous?  She looks so deep in thought. I love her.  Karen also makes adorable kids and cute fairy stamps, but this image here just drew me in and made me create this card. 

The card below is a more whimsical treat with a very sexy woman from artist Nikki Burnette called Stella.  I just love those over the knee socks (or stockings).  Those just look like something I would wear.  I added a wonderful saying to the card "Butterfly Kisses."

Hope these cards make you want to go and create some cards today.  Be sure and check out these artists stamps at the store as well as the wonderful SALE that is happening.

Teresa Sherman's Marina

Today's card features a fantastic image from the Teresa Sherman collection titled Marina - isn't she wonderful? I love this whole sheet of stamps, the faces are so similar that you could use them to tell a story.

Thanks for stopping by!

Today Kate shares some tips on getting the perfect image when using your stamps!

Nell

I really love Terra Bidlespacher's style and especially the 'girls' she draws. This one just called my name and begged me to color her.  I paired Nell with some paper from Fancy Pants.  The border is made alternating a corner die.

You can pick up Nell alone or on a full plate #209 with three other lovely girls!

Get Inky!

Teenie Tiny

Hi everyone, when I saw this little cutie sitting there under the big mushroom I fell in love with her immedieately. Since today I have her in my hands and had to play with her immediately. This sweet little fairy is from Elisabeth Bell's Twinkle Toe serie called 'Teenie Tiny'.

I coloured her with Distress Inks and gave some accents with Twinklings H2O. I love those colours as they give a bit of a shimmer which isn't viewable on the pics. I also added some yellow stickles to her wings which isn't to see very well. 

Thank you so much for looking. Check all the gorgeous new releases Sweet Pea Stamps just had. And there is still a fabulous Sale going on. You don't want to miss!

Have a magical day!

Hugs, Karina

SHARON

I would like to share with you this gorgeous new stamp from Elizabeth Bell but before I do - I just had an  eureka moment!  I have had my camera for 2-3 years now maybe longer - times flies so fast so it may be longer and I have to admit I do not know how to use it properly it's just a case of luck.  I find a setting that seems to work and I am happy with the results then for whatever reason I click on something and it changes.  Not knowing anything about my camera and a book for instructions I haven't a clue what I'm doing.


Last week I clicked on something and got a number scale up - changing it to "0" as I couldn't remember what it had been previously set on!  Well I know now - not in time for these photo's but it's a light meter and I have now set in to "1" so will have to try a couple of settings but I can't believe it - I've actually worked it out for myself!!!


Moving on and back to the subject in hand.   Yes Sweet Pea does have so many new and old stamps to chose from and I couldn't wait to use this one.  How sweet is this little girl?  Reminds me of my son when he was little - boy was he quiet when playing in the sand as the beach!  Still nothing stays the same - he's now quite the opposite loving playing and listening to his heavy metal music at full volume!!


There I go again - side tracking!  So this is one of three newly released stamps by Elizabeth Bell from Sweet Pea stamps.  This one is called SANDCASTLES but why not check out the others here.

This lovely lady is by Karen Middleton

for

Sweet Pea Stamps

and she is called "Summer".

I think she is striking in her simplicity

so did not want to overwhelm her

beauty with much bling.

The papers are by Basic Grey

"Little Black Dress"

pearls by Martha Stewart and

dies by Magnolia and Cheery Lynn.

I hope you like her as much as I do.

Hope

Today I have a card to share with you using one of Rebecca Sinz's images called "Hope" and you can purchase her as a single of on Sheet #7, Plate #205.

I love all of her images on this sheet.

I wanted her to have a bright red dress and grey wings so my paper choices went from there.

Here is a close up of the image colored with copics.

I used a few different papers from different paper packs and company's.
Stay tuned as I have colored a few more from this sheet so you will be seeing them so.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day and thanks so much for stopping by today.

Such cute fairies from Elisabeth Bell

Here's a wonderful Sweet Pea image from artist Elisabeth Bell called Twinkle Toes Crocus.  She's just delightful.  I added some wonderful shimmer to her wings and her scarf using stickles and double layered her on cardstock before putting her on a Bazzill Swiss 6x6" card front. 

I topped off the card with some gorgeous ribbon from Prima and some pen work with my Souffle.  Here's a slight enlargement of the stamped image.  Can't you always tell when the image comes from Elisabeth Bell?

Here's another wonderful Elisabeth Bell image.  I added a perfect little sentiment to go with this wonderful card,  "All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today."  I love this adorable little fairy girl holding a beautiful flower.  I stickled up her wings to give her some bling.    She's definitely going to be gorgeous blooming flower of tomorrow.  This adorable stamp is called Gum Nut Fairy.

To create this card I used a 6x12" sheet of printed cardstock and trimmed the end of a sheet, I added a gorgeous punched border at the bottom along with a torn edge of black paper to the base.  The white paper you see at the bottom is the inside (i.e. the backside of the folded card).    The three layers of paper on the front give the card a rich layered look.

Check out all of Elisabeth Bell's adorable images at the Sweet Pea store.  They make the dearest cards.

Butterfly with Flower

This Butterfly with Flower is one of the new images from the new Plate #211 of designs by ching-chou kuik.  This plate is not the girls, but different animals and they are all more gorgeous than the last.  I have not done this image justice, but I did enjoy working with it.

I paired the image with background paper from Basic Grey and some lovely corner dies.

Get Inky!!!

Post it Holder

Hi everyone, today I want to show you a special project I made for the birthday of the sister from my boyfriend, where we was invited the last Saturday. She loves angels and fairies, just like I do. And I love to make those Post it Holder, they are really fun to do, and it is a great gift idea. 

I decided to use one of my favourite stamps; 'Bess' from the fabulous artist Elaine Cox. She is available as a single stamp, and together with three more amazing portraits on Plate # 85.

I coloured the image with Distress Inks and added some sparkling to her wings, lips and the flowers.

Above you can see a side-view, and below how the holder looks when it is closed.

And here you can see how I decorated the bottom side.

If you like to make such a Post it Holder as well, watch out my personal blog. I will upload a tutorial soon.

And watch out for the fantastic Sale as well! You have the chance to get the most beautiful stamps for an amazing price.

Have a magical day!

Hugs, Karina

Black Pearl

This gorgeous lady is an image drawn by Teresa Sherman for Sweet Pea Stamps.  Her name is Black Pearl.  She can be purchased alone or as part of 4 fabulous images on Plate #212.

I wanted to keep Black Pearl in cool water/ocean type colors so went with the blues and greens.  I had originally picked an entirely different pattern paper to go with this image, but as I sat at my desk to put together the card, I just knew it was wrong, and this one from Kaisercraft was better.
