Magical Springtime

This lovely lady is drawn by Elaine Cox for Sweet Pea Stamps and is called Magical Springtime.  She is available in both red rubber and digi form for whatever your preference.  I couldn't resist using some of my chipboard to create a second branch and bird to go with her.

Summer Colors

Now that the real FIRE of summer is here in Texas, I just had to use the heat of summer to make a card. As August hits, we will be over 100 degrees just about 100% of the time. Even when it cools off, it will be in the 90s. Pretty crazy when you wait to go outside until 8 or 9pm and find out it's still in the upper 90s!! That's the trade off you get around here for the lack of snow all winter. Well the FIRE has inspired me for this stunning stamp of Elaine Cox. It's called Magical Springtime. If you have seen the original colors used, you can see the difference based on the color set that i have selected and used on this card.


The card uses wonderful cardstock from Paper Temptress; fun flowers from Prima; Brads from Basic Grey; the Friendship stamp from Plate #55; Bling and Pearls from Martha Stewart and Queen&Co. The image was colored using Copic Markers.

Hope your summer is hot, hot, hot! Be sure to take a dip in the swimming pool!

I Have been BUSY!!!!

I have 5 cards to show you and this first one I used Kimno Butterfly Mermaid sheet #19/Plate #54 at Sweet Pea Stamps. I colored her with copics (so bright and pretty) I really love the way this one turned out. I used 2 different DP's, one has small butterflies on it and them over it I added a vellum sheet with bigger Butterflies on it. The BIG butterflies on this card was a gift from my blogging friend Rellz!! She sent me alot of beautiful embellishments.

I added some tree branches that I made from a die. The sentiment is also from a ching chou kuiks Sweet Pea Stamps set.

Here is a close up!!

Here is my second card!!!

I used Not Just A Pumpkin ching chou kuiks image Sheet#20/ Plate #57 from Sweet Pea Stamps. The DP is from a fall DCWV stack, I also added some dark plum purple CS. The sentiment is a sticker that I added a black pearl to either side of it. I also randomly added some orange bling. The die on either side of the image is a spellbinders die

3rd card
This is Dreamy Sand Castle by Elaine Cox Sheet #7/Plate #52 at Sweet Pea Stamps.

Magical Springtime

Hello! I have made a card today with one of the images by Elaine Cox called Magical Springtime (sheet 7, Plate 52). This is one of the first times EVER that I have colored an image without picking my paper first! (Can you believe it! I am such a chicken!) When I looked at this stamp I got this image in my head of this rainbow hair and everything else being (mostly) black and white so I didn't even think about the paper, which did make it pretty hard when it was time to pick that out! Her wings have Stardust Stickles on them for some sparkle, and I used a clear Spica glitter pen on her eyes for a more subtle sparkle.

The Details:
Stamp: Elaine Cox's Magical Springtime (sheet 7, Plate 52), sentiment from ching-chou kuik's Fantasy Art Collection, sheet 2, Plate 21) - both from Sweet Pea Stamps
