Custom Phone Case with Elaine Cox's-Maggie Stamp

Hello everyone,

This is will be my final post as a DT member of Sweet Pea Stamps. I have had a blast working with this team and wish all the newest members the same great experience. Thank you again Jennifer and Lynette for having me on board for so long.

Today I decided to showcase another of the OOAK (one of a kind) custom phone case I have done.  This one uses the gorgeous image from Elaine Cox's called Maggie.

I am an Android girl so this case if for a Galaxy 3.  Someone inquired as to how I made these which is pretty easy but a bit tedious in nature.

 

The supplies you need are embellishments, E600, and Mod podge.  For this one I first painted the clear case in Acrylic paint and while the paint was still wet added sparkle to embed into the paint.  I colored the image with my Copics as usual and trim it to fit the phone case. 

 

Copics used are:

 

Skin: E11, EOO,EOOOO, R20

Hair: G20,G21,V11,V01

Wings: G20,G21

 

 

Once dry, I place the image onto the case and used Mod Podge to glue it down and provide a sealant over it as well.  Then you add your embellishments were you want and I used E600 glue to add all the rhinestones, pearls, and other resin.  Side note E600 takes at least 24 hours to dry so make sure you leave it to dry properly.

 

 

And that is all it takes. I have to admit sometimes I just love to color and this is a great way to use some of the those colored images in a way that is unique and can be carried with you all the time.

 

 

Karen Middleton's Breast Cancer Pink Ribbon mouse... by Ria

Ohh are you all exited for tomorrow, for me it always is like the night before your birthday when I was a kid. So exiting all the noise and the fireworks and the friends coming over to celebrate the old year and having fun starting the new year. So I wanted a happy card to close 2014 here on Sweet Pea Stamps and choose Breast Cancer Pink Ribbon mouse by Karen Middleton to create a happy card in my favourite colours.

I coloured the mouse with the Brown Grey family Spectrum Noir markers and enhanced with Prisma's 90% warm grey pencil. The earskin is done with Copics E11, Ribbon is done with Stylefile 416-428 markers and white dots are made with the Molotow marker.

Well I am wishing you all a wonderfull new year and most of all lots of health and please be SAFE in whatever you do tomorrow :) and hope to see you all again in 2015...

Fairy 11, Jane's view

Sweet Pea Stamps

Today is my day to showcase an image from Sweet Pea Stamps and I have chosen to work with the beautiful image Fairy 11 by one of our new artists, Amy Brown which is available from the Sweet Pea Store as a rubber stamp.

 To begin with I thought I would try something new and printed the image onto design paper, a bit tricky getting it to print in the lightest part of the paper so as to make colouring easiest.  I decided to use Faber Castle Polychrosmos pencils to colour with which are oil base as I wanted a lighter level of colouring and they work wonderfully on all sorts of different paper types too.

Using the border edge on the paper I then backed my base card.  Some dark wine card was used for the scalloped mount.  Gold flower chain was added to one side of the border and I then cut three single sections and used these to embellish the image.  To finish off gold Liquid Pearls were placed in the scallops of the wine mount.  A very simple card and I did plan to add flowers but this card was a case of less is better I think.

Ingredients:-

• Image - rubber stamp, Fairy 11 by Amy Brown (rubber stamp)
• Flower paper but I can't remember the company it is from
• Spellbinders Grand Ovals and Scalloped Ovals
• Gold Liquid Pearls
• Gold chain from my stash

Thank you for stopping by today and hope you have a happy crafting time ahead of you :) xx

Featured Artist week - Teresa Sherman - Tera's view

 Hallo,
   Our featured artist this week is Teresa Sherman and I chose this awesome dragon and his fairy called 'Endless Love'
  This image is available both as a digi and a rubber stamp.
  I colored them with prismacolor pencils and then layered the main image to a piece of encaustic wax (wax melted with a hot iron and 'painted' onto glossy cardstock). Layered those to black matt board.
  I then added silver beaded swirls and silver pearl drops with a viva décor pen - a lot of silver drops :)
  I then found a green ribbon to match the fairy's dress and wings to use to hang the piece.
  I really had fun with this one!!!
    Take Care

Hi, I used Ching Chou Kuik's 'Toucan'

Denise here,
I colored it with copic markers

I did the exact opposite of a middle stairstep card and then it looked kinda like a shadow box

The leaves are a framelit from Stampin' Up, the diecut butterflies are from SU also, and the flowers are a stamp and matching punch, also from SU

I THINK IT IS SAFE TO SAY 'I LIKE SU'

I added glossy effects to the beak and stickles to the flowers.

Featured Artist-Teresa Sherman Blossom by Olivia

This week all the design team members are showcasing the gorgeous images from Teresa Sherman for Sweet Pea Stamps.

Hair: BG02,BG05,E33,E35

Dress: BG72,75,78

Then I just sponged over the white part with one of my ink pads and added some stickle to the butterfly and flowers

Artist Week - Jane's view, Teresa Sherman

Sweet Pea Stamps

Today is my day to showcase an image from Sweet Pea Stamps for our Artist Week where the whole DT use images for the same artist which this week is Teresa Sherman.  I have chosen to work with the beautiful image Lillith which is available from the Sweet Pea Store.

I had originally printed this image on a printable mirror paper but when I started colouring it in I really as not happy with the result. Time to try again this afternoon <g>.  Now last night I had a bad night and got all wound up after watching the Science Channel for far to long.  The final straw was a program on how robots are infiltrating our lives so much and the rolls they are expected to fill by, I think it was, 2029 - now that is only 15 years away!!!!!  They estimate the cost of a personal robot in the home will fall in cost to make them readily available to the mass population.  Hey no problem in that but they will also be so prominent in the workforce.  Fine for the 'educated' behind a desk I guess but what about the manual labor force - the first that will more than likely be replaced.  WOW lots of free time to enjoy oneself I hear you say but where does the money come from if you don't have a job because you have been replaced by a robot.  All I could think of was the crime rate would shoot up as idle hands are the devils work!!!!!  OK, I stop now hahahahaha, I could go on but won't.  Needless to say I was not in the best of moods when I got up this morning but still had to do this card.

I then thought I would try something new, instead of colouring the image as usual I placed a gradient overlay over the image before printing.

Next I only used a black oil pastel pencil to colour the hair and add some shading to the face.  Rather interesting and I did have fun.  Those robots were not bugging me now hahahahaha

The background of the card was to be all black - OK maybe I am still thinking about those darned robots :).  Using a gray card base I then ruffled black lace on it.

Time to cut the digi - but I could not find a die I liked so in the end I decided to use a leaf die and create a sort of free flowing frame.  Once I had glued the dies into position I then removed the excess part of the digi.

 More black, this time flowers which were white but I airbrushed with black.

 Using a remnant of the black lace from the background I created a flower and a recycled bit of chocolate box decoration (the glass flower) was glued to the centre.

 Quick and easy for the inside, using a pre cut heart die to create the writing area.

 And here we have the finished card :) :) :)

Ingredients

• Image -  Lillith by Teresa Sherman available from the Sweet Pea Store.
• Black Promarker and black  Faber Castle Polychromos 
• Dies - Crafts Too Leaf Flourish
• Lace, glass gem etc. from my stash

Thank you for stopping by today and hope you have a happy crafting time ahead of you :) xx

Variations - Concetta Kilmer - 'Hooty so in Love' - Tera's view

 Hallo,
   Using 'Hooty so in Love' today by Concetta Kilmer - I colored them with prismacolor pencils and added a big ol moon behind them. I edged the main image with silver metallic pen and then layered it to a gray card base covered with a gray lace ribbon and a thin pretty red ribbon.
I added red flowers to go with the flowers on the branch and then accented with silver pearl drops using a viva décor pen.
  The phrase is a rub on from deep down in the bottom of my stash draw - it must be at least 6 years old :)
    All for me today - Take Care
           Tera

Variation Week, Holley's View Hooty So In Love by Concetta Kilmer

 Here's a beautiful image from Sweet Pea artist Concetta Kilmer called Hooty So in Love. What an adorable pair of owls. I am using copic markers on them and some gorgeous fringe lace to decorate the borders of the card.  I added a simple sentiment Owl always love you.  I think another perfect sentiment that you could use with this image is "You'll owl-ways have the key to my heart."

Here's a close up of the image, which is also available as a rubber stamp.
