Artist Week - Poppy Sprite - Jane's view

Sweet Pea Stamps

Today is my day to showcase and image from Sweet Pea Stamps and this week is Artist Week where the whole team are working with the wonderful images by Mitzi Sato-Wiuff.   I have chosen to work with the beautiful image Poppy Sprite  by which is available from the Sweet Pea Store as a rubber stamp.

I started by colouring the image with Promarkers, I do find red such a hard colour to work with but have to admit, I had great fun with this image :)

Next I moved onto my mount.  You know when you find some fabulous paper, buy it and then never use it, well today I decided it was time to cut into a a gorgeous paper I bought about 5 years ago and just have not had the heart to use until now. It has such a beautiful red flocking on it and oooooo so tactile.  Those who know me also know I love tactile card lol.  On the opposite diagonal I backed my card with some ruby red paper and then added red lace on top.  To cover the join of the two areas I added some ribbon.

What other embellishment could be used with the gorgeous Poppy Sprite but poppies.  I don't have a poppy die and although I did design some I ended up using the Pansy die from Sizzix and the stemmed centre is from a Marianne Craftables die. The centre of each petal was air-brushed with a Crimson Promarker.

 I needed a bit more black on the card to link up to the the Poppy Sprite underskirt so used another Marianne Design die - branch.  I then used ultra fine black glitter to on the tops of three black brads for the centres of the flowers.  Sorry they are not in the picture, they were to one side drying lol.

To assemble the card I embossed and cut a couple of circles which I mounted the fussy cut digi on.  A small type black peel off birthday sentiment was then place on the red circle.  A doily was then placed behind this grouping and attached to the card.  The finished poppies and leafy branch were then place on the mount and the mount attached to the card.  For the inside, a couple of basic squares using the red paper left over from the poppies and some of the base colour card and a black branch just to bring it all together.

Ingredients:-

• Image - Poppy Sprite by Mitzi Sato-Wiuff
• Colouring Medium - Promarkers
• Dies - Spellbinders Circles and Squares, Sizzix Pansy and Marianne Craftables Branch
• From my Stash - flock paper, lace, brads, ultra fine glitter, ribbon, doily and peel off Birthday sticker.

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

Linda Bigg's Dark Shores with Suzi

Today I'd like to share with you all my project featuring the work of this months featured artist Linda Biggs.  I chose to use the gorgeous 'Dark Shores' image, as it features a truly stunning mermaid;

The image title makes you think of the sun-setting, but I decided that I'd make it a sunrise, and combined it with some gorgeous sunshine papers and a 'Here comes the Sun' sentiment.  Here's hoping we all get to see lots of the Sun really soon.

You can find this image in both Rubber and Digital Format in the Sweet Pea Stamps Store, along with lots more beautiful images.

Bye for now

Sweet Pea Stamps

Today is my day to showcase and image from Sweet Pea Stamps.  As it is Featured Artist Week the whole DT are working with images by Linda Biggs and I have chosen to work with the beautiful image Medicine Woman which is available from the Sweet Pea Store in both rubber and digi.

I have a bunch of design papers from magazines and they just seem to sit there unused so I am making a conscious effort this year to attack the pile lol.  With that in mind my first step was to choose my backing paper and then colour my image around those colours.  With that done I used a peel off birthday sticker in white and airburshed it with my Promarker, one of the colours used in the image.  I should add the image was coloured with Promarkers and I chalked the background. The sentiment was, once dry, placed on some of the DP used for the background and then die cut.

To finish off the card I used a Dreamcatcher die from Cherry Lynn which I airbrushed and Sizzix  - Ornate Hanging Sign.  The sentiment was cut with Xcut tags. a lace border was added along the bottom edge and a bow tied with the same lace and then airbrushed with my Lilac Promarker.  Finally, some pink Stickels on the dreamcatcher and pearls picking out the three main colours, pink green and blue.

Ingredients:-

• Image - Medicine Woman by Linda Biggs and available from Sweet Pea Store in both rubber and digi
• Colouring Medium -  Promarkers
• Dies -  Dreamcatcher die from Cherry Lynn,  Sizzix - Ornate Hanging Sign and XCut tags
• From my stash, lace, pearl brads, blue gems and Stickles

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

Featured Artist Regan Kubecek- Fine Things by Ria....

Hi, it is Ria here with my view on artist Regan Kubecek's Fine Things digistamp.

First I am showing you Fine Things colouring that I did as an Early morning colouring a couple weeks ago on FB. I coloured her with a new brand alcohol marker that I got Stylefile markers. As I only got a red and blue tone set I had to use all these colours and normally I would not think of combining these together but in the end it all worked perfectly together.

Especially when I found a digital craftkit that uses the same colourtones so I created an totally digital card, That I can use to send to a friend overseas and personalize it when needed :) as I am really bad at sending out cards ;) yes I know I have about 500 cards in my Purplelicious Craftroom and I just can't part with them it seems ;)

Well I hope you enjoyed my work with the gorgeouss Fine Things stamp from Regan Kubecek at Sweet Pea Stamps.

hugss Ria
