Holley presents Beautifully Red by Katerina Koukiotis

 
Have you seen the new shaded images at the Sweet Pea store?  These images make coloring so simple an easy, you can still add your own shading techniques and colors, but you can also just print them out in black and white and leave them as they are OR just add a single highlight color (like skin tone) OR do full coloring to add even more depth.  Here's a stunning image from artist Katerina Koukiotis called Beautifully Red.

Here's a closeup of this lovely image, the paper shown here that is actually stitched is wall paper!! Did you have any idea of that?  Lots of places you can get fabulous free remnants the perfect size for stitching up and making little fun boxes for your cards.
 
Have a great weekend and be sure and check out the newest images from artist Katerina Koukiotis, esp. these fun pre-shaded ones.

Cheers, Holley

Tera presents 'Sea Turtle Kiss' by Aurora Wings

Hallo,
  I have 2 versions of this sweet little image from Aurora Wings for you today - she is called 'Sea Turtle Kiss' and I colored them both with prismacolor pencils.
  The first one here I used green with red accents and the second one I used purples. I just love this little mermaid and her turtles - such a cutie and so much fun to color. I have used her many times since  I got her.
  I layered the image panel to some pretty gold cardstock and edged both panels with metallic gold pen. I added some gold stickers for a bit of bling too.

Good Morning Sweet Peas, It is my pleasure to be here as this months Guest Designer.  My project today features the beautiful Angel Melody image by Karen Middleton.

This is such a beautiful serene magical image that I wanted to try and convey the serenity and magic of it through my colouring process.  So I went for a very soft colour palette and added lots of glitter. Here is a close up of this beautiful angel;

Jane presents Fairy Tea Party by Katerina Koukiotis




Today is my day to showcase and image from Sweet Pea Stamps and I have chosen to work with the beautiful image Fairy Tea Party by Katerina Koukiotis which is available from the Sweet Pea Store in both rubber and digi.

Time to make another of my tea bag holders which I so love giving as gifts :)   I started by cutting all my sections for the tea box holder from a pattern I made.  I then covered the box with some awesome hand made paper a friend brought me back from her holidays, the colours were just perfect for the digi I had coloured earlier.  Before attaching the hand made paper I embossed it with a Spellbinders embossing folder, not a deep embossing as the paper is very soft and did not want to hold the embossing well.
Next I went to town with lots of die cuts.  The image was mounted on turqouise card, the same card the box was made from and also some matt gold card.  I added one of the a Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 4pk - Borders to one side and a Spellbinders Les Papillions 2 butterfly. Another of these butterflies was added to the back of the box, and in the centre of each butterfly I add a small turquoise butterfly gem.  For the label I used Spellbinder Ornamental Tag 1 and added another butterfly gem.  For the swirls I added around the box I used Spellbinders Floral Flourishes.  All the die cuts were cut using the same turquoise card I used for the box and the matt gold paper which I glued on one side, this gave me die cuts which matched the box both from the front and the back sides.  A little gold bronzing powder was added to the top rim of the box and there we go, all done.




Ingredients:-
  • Image - Fairy Tea Party by Katerina Koukiotis
  • Colouring Medium - Faber Castell Polychromos 
  • Dies - Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 4pk - Borders, Spellbinders Les Papillions 2, Spellbinder Ornamental Tag 1 and Spellbinders Floral Flourishes
  • From my Stash - gems, hand made paper and bronzing powder

Jane presents Gothic Cuties' Dragon Fairy by Ronne P Barton



Another very quick post from me :) :) I am in the UK at the moment so many miles away from my craft room with all my goodies although I do have some fun new bits and pieces to play with :) :) :) 

The image I have used is Gothic Cuties' Dragon Fairy by Ronne P Barton available from Sweet Pea Stamps in rubber or as a digi.  I coloured the image with Faber Castell Polychromos  While I have been in the UK I have been getting a few more dies and one of them I have used on this card; it is a Tattered Lace corner die which I used four times to make a frame.  The card base was embossed with an embossing folder but I have no idea where I got it from grrrrrr.  Next I fussy cut my image and mounted it with foam tape then completed the inside of the card to match the front (amazing how a change in light can make so much difference to colour, the inside of the card is identical colour wise to the front :) :) )
