Sweet Little Red
Hello everyone, hope you're doing fine. Just to the switch from summer to winter time we got the first snow few days ago... luckily I was prepared and got the winter tires to my car.
Today I want to show you a card looking more spring like. I used one of the newest images by ching-chou kuik's called 'Sweet Little Red'. I love this little scene with the cute fox on her arms. This image is available as a single stamp and comes together with three other beautiful images on Plate # 226. And you can get it as Digi as well HERE.
I coloured the image with Copics. I added some sparkling to her hair. The background papers are from Basic Grey Porcelain.
Have a wonderful day now! Thank you so much for your visit here.
Hugs, Karina
SWEETPEA DT INSPIRATION
This week I got to use this gorgeous stamp from MARLON TEUNISSEN called EMOTIVE available here either as a single stamp or plate (Plate 231, Sheet 2).
With my heart whirling with ideas and colour schemes I started colouring the skin tone and then the gold top etc. whilst I thought about what other colours to use. I next when with the brown's of the skirt before choosing the palest of the "E" copics family to colour the stockings and frills.
Then with the image 3/4's coloured I decided to stay with the "E" family of Copics and chose the rich red-brown tones which I'm loving using at the moment to create the auburn hair colour. I particularly love the richness of these colours and added move depth using a Sepia pencil.
To add a bit of glitz I used a sukura stardust pen. I was thinking of using some embossing powders but I've forgotten where I last had my heat gun! Guess I'll have to find time to have a good root around for it!
Apologies regarding photo quality still having problems with light setting!
For any more details please feel free to check out my blog here.

Connie-Spooky Lady
This Sweet Pea Stamps beauty by Teresa Sherman named
"Cloaked Lady"could be used on any theme but
she shouted
HALLOWEEN!
to me.
I used several dies by Stampin' Up! and Cheery Lynn
Designs as well as a MS punch
"Drippy Goo"
An embossing folder by Cuttlebug for a tree background
and a little sponging with Distress inks
and she was done.
You will find this lovely lady over at
on plate 213.
Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween and Beyond
There is certainly some pouting similar to this Pumpkin Pixie by Katerina Koukiotiss for Sweet Pea Stamps. at my house due to the Halloween season coming to an end. The good news is that Sweet Pea Stamps carries so many fabulous images there are plenty to play with for the next 11 months!
If you look closely, I colored the clothing a bit differently than the artist, but I think it works just fine. What do you think? Great news too, this is one of the newly available digi stamps at Sweet Pea Stamps - be certain to check them all out!
Get Inky!

Happy Fall Y'all
Here's an adorable witch from Sweet Pea artist Elisabeth Bell called "Wispy Willow with Pumpkin".
Isn't she SO adorable? I think this witch is just perfect for Fall
time in general. She's not Halloween specific, so I will be using her
to present a pumpkin card for lots of my Thanksgiving themed creations.
To do this, I colored her up in blue on this image and added some
bright orange flowers that were crafted by a friend.
Check out all of the wonderful Elisabeth Bell stamps including her newest creations that are now available. So adorable! I can't wait to get mine.
Cheers, Holley

Connie-Best Witches
With only this bewitching sentiment stamp by
I made this spooky Halloween card.
The sentiment is by
Teresa Sherman for
using Distress inks:
Scattered Straw
Mustard Seed
Spiced Marmalade
Ripe Persimmon
I punched a circle from a Post-It note for the moon and
stuck a small bat confetti on that
with a tree die cut from a memory box die.
A simple border punch by EK Success
at the top was
enough I thought.
Sweet Pea Stamps carries scads
of delightfully
spooky
stamps....both
rubber and digis!
In the Pumpkin Patch
Hi dear Sweet Pea Stamps lovers just as I am, time for another Halloween inspiration. The card I show you today is made with one of the gorgeous images by Teresa Sherman. It is called 'In the Pumpkin Patch' and you can find her on Plate # 215.together with three other images and a sentiment. This beauty is available as a single stamps as well.
I coloured her with Copics. The background papers I used are from Memory Box.
I hope I was able to give you some inspiration. Thank you so much for your visit here.

Moonlight Fun
It is no secret that I love all things Halloween. I have taken a couple of the gorgeous Sweet Pea Stamps images that are not technically Halloween images and done them up in Halloween colors.
First up is Gothic Moon. This is an image drawn by Rebecca Sinz and can be purchased in both red rubber or digital. Isn't the silhouette of the cat just a wonderful addition?
The second is an image called Salting Slugs by Terra Bidlespacher. I love the girls that Terra draws. They have so much expression and personality I can not get enough of them!
Get Inky!

SWEETPEA INSPIRATION - SHARON
Found this half finished image in a stack of images started but not finished for some reason, probably thought they weren't very good or I was disappointed with some part of the colouring.
I've decided to make an effort to work through all these images desperately waiting to be lovingly made into a card.
Almost forgot to mention this image is from one of the cutie Elisabeth Bell stamps called FASHIONABLY CUTE available here.
If you love Elisabeth Bell check out all her stamps available from Sweetpea stamps here - some of them are available at reduced prices so be quick!
