Pirate, Skeleton Roses

Here's an awesome Sweet Pea stamp from artist ching-chou kiuk.  This stamp is Pirate Skeleton Roses.  Just Gorgeous!!  I couldn't wait to get my hands on it when it became a digi stamp, but it's also sold on a sheet of rubber (Plate #126).  I am using some die cut embossed skulls across the bottom of the card and some gorgeous lace from Turkey to embellish the card, but I really think the image itself takes center stage.  The Thinking Of You stamp comes on Plate#98.

Here's an enlargement of the stunning image.  As you can see, I am coloring the heart, the roses and the maiden's dress in the same colors of Copic Markers R81, R83, R85, R89.  Having the same color pattern on multiple locations in your image draws the eye across the image.

Hope this cards makes you check out the wonderful images of artist ching-chou kuik.  She has some gorgeous stamps including other pirate themed images as well.

Cheers, Holley

Peter and Olivia

I couldn't wait to get my hands on the new stamps from the latest addition to the Sweet Pea Stamps team of fabulous artists, Norma J Burnell. I love her gorgeous artwork and the beautiful faces in her images... I do love to work with images of faces. :) So as soon as I got hold of these stamps, I had to get creating with one:

I chose to work with Peter and Olivia and I stamped the image with Adirondack ink and coloured it with my Promarkers in warm tones of purple, pink and gold:

I teamed the image with some patterned papers in matching colours and used punches and die-cuts to add some detail to the card...

...finishing things off with some pretty flowers.

Norma's new stamps (including this one) are now available in the Sweet Pea Stamps store (and check out her gorgeous new designs, available for pre-order).

Connie-Glimmer

I have used an image by 
Sweet Pea Stamps "Glimmer" by Elisabeth Bell as well as Stickles, a glitter rub on by DCWV, some gold mirror paper along with a big round brad and flower by Hero Arts.
I entered this into the current CAS challenge at  CAS-UAL Fridays. Don't you agree that Elisabeth Bell's images lend  themselves to CAS?
Thanks for stopping by! Connie

Beautiful "Maggie"

Hi Girls and Boys (if any here). I made card for today to showcase at Sweet Pea Stamps.  If you don't have this stamp yet , you should go and get one. This image call Maggie, by amazing Elaine Cox. The good thing is, you can have this image as a digital stamp, or Red Rubber stamp. You can find this stamp HERE. Also don't forget to check our new Artist's stamps by Norma J. She is so talented.
Image was colored with mix of Prisma Pencils and Promarkers. Around  image i added purple gems from Dollar store 

Sentiment "Happy Birthday"you can find on Plate #4.  On blue cardstock i used MS punch, and added Die cut butterfly. I think this is the most beautiful Die in my Eyes, because i love butterflies. Background Papers are from Heartfelt Creations.
I hope you all will have wonderful Day, and i need to run, so many gorgeous images to collor.

Norma Burnell's Spring Witch Owl

Hello dear Sweet Pea Stamps friends, Karina here to show you another creation I made with one of the fabulous images by our new artist Norma J. Burnell. The one I played with this time is 'Spring Witch Owl'. Althought it is called spring witch I wanted to make her more autumnal in orange, yellow, red and green colours.

I coloured her with Copics. The papers I used are from Graphic45.

Thank you so much for looking. Check out all the other beauties from Norma J. Burnell at Sweet Pea Stamps shop. They are available as rubber.

Have a wonderful day now!
Hugs, Karina

Norma Burnell's Hoot Owl

Hello everyone! Have you already seen those amazing new images by the new fabulous artist Norma Burnell? I will show you some of them from now on and am sure you will love them as much as I do. They are a big pleasure to colour and to create. The first one I show you today is 'Hoot Owl'. I decided to keep her in brown and green colours.

I coloured this beautiful owl... I love owls!... with Copics. The background papers I used are Graphic45.

Check back soonish to see some more inspiration with those gorgeous images. The Norma Burnell images from her Fairy-Tangles-Art-Collection are available as rubber.

Have a wonderful day now!
Hugs, Karina

Space Explorer

Here's a totally awesome Sweet Pea digi-stamp from artist Joanne Schempp called Alien.  I have colored this image completely different from the artist's coloring, so, be sure and go check out the original image to see how very different the image looks here.  I chose colors for the planet surface of Copics YG91-95, as well as adding a very greenish tinge to the moon.

I added a saying from Sweet Pea "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.  It is the source of all true art and science.  Albert Einstein."   I find that saying so fitting in this scene.  That lace across the bottom is some of the gorgeous lace that I picked up while in Istanbul on vacation a couple summers ago.

If you haven't tried the awesome digi-stamps, I highly recommend them!  This image from Joanne Schempp is too gorgeous.  Next time, I am thinking about doing this image up like "the red planet."

Cheers, Holley

Dylusions tag by Randi

Hello all Sweet Pea friends!

Today I want to share a tag which I made, using a text stamp from Plate #2. 
I've colored the tag with Dylusions spray in three different colors, added some bling and doodling around the edges with black and white gel pen. The hug-snug ribbon is also colored up with Dylusions spray and dried with my heat gun. In the end, I spritzed a little Perfect Pearls Mist Pewter, to make the tag shimmer. Since I love doodling, there's a lot of it in the tag... LOL

The finished tag

Love this quote - perfect for many occasions

Bling butterfly ;)

I hope you liked my tag!

Lots of love,

Autumn Passion

This lovely image is drawn by ching chou kuik and available from Sweet Pea Stamps.  Her name is Autumn Passion. Yes, I do realize that I am sitting here wishing for Spring and springlike weather, but she is so pretty, I couldn't wait for fall until I colored her up.

I paired her with some paper from Carta Bella and some pearls in my stash.  I really like the teal, red and black combo.  

Get Inky!

Kraft and White

I've been seeing quite a lot of white embossing on coloured card in the online crafty-verse lately and it's a technique I was keen to try. I made this card (itself based off a card I found on Pinterest) and loved the effect and had the idea that white embossing might look lovely on a kraft-coloured card, with perhaps some delicate colouring.

So that's exactly what I did:

I thought this striking Repose image by Brigid Ashwood would be perfect for this technique and I love how she looks embossed and coloured this way.

I stamped her using Versamark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder and then added some delicate colouring using Prismacolor pencils. I layered the image over a second piece of kraft card, which I had dry embossed with an embossing folder and then layered that onto a card blank made from blue card.

I kept the card quite simple and striking, finishing things off with some small flowers punched from blue card, decorating the centres with Enamel Accents and tiny metal cogs.

You can buy this stamp in red rubber format from the Sweet Pea Stamps store.
