YOU Complete ME

Here's a stunning image from Sweet Pea artist Helena Reis.  I just love this artist's  images.  This one is Amelia.  I thought she would be perfect for Valentine's day.  I colored her up with gorgeous black hair and a black and red dress.  I added some simple heart décor from K&Co and some gorgeous embroidered ribbon that I got while visiting Istanbul.
 
I added a sentiment that I sold at Sweet Pea stamps, "YOU complete ME" which is just perfect for my hubby.    I gave her gray eyes.  Makes me think of my hubby (and also my sister).  Here's a close up of the image:
I hope she tugs at your heart the way that she tugs at mine.  Drop by the Sweet Pea store and check out all of Helena Reis' images.  She has a bunch of wonderful images in digi-format as well as some in rubber stamp format.  There's also a HUGE Sale going on at the Sweet Pea store, check it out!!

Did you see the amazing card that design team member Ali made using this exact image earlier this week?  Scroll down and check it out!  It's so very different in color choices, I think that's just amazing to see how wonderful a stamp can be when two people use the same image.  Then you can compare our images to the artist original coloring, here.

Please Join me in celebration this month!  I am so very thankful to everyone here at Sweet Pea stamps.  I was on this Design Team when I had the brain surgeries and many of the ladies here now where members then with me.  They were amazingly supportive and helped me through it.  Love you guys!!   Everyone come by for some treats, DT members are eligible too for everything except the Sweet Pea prizes.  Big hugs! 

Cheers, Holley 
Celebration party: HERE Starting Feb 1st

  9. Oooh I love this image too and, as you say, it's lovely to see it coloured in such different colourways... it gives it such a different look each time.

    I love the colour scheme of your card - the pinks and purples are so warm and the splash of cool blue in the background is a perfect contrast. :)

    Love how you've echoed the heart in the image with the embellishments on your card too.
