Jane presents Mother and Baby Girl by Conie Fong

Today is my day to showcase and image from Sweet Pea Stamps and I have chosen to work with the beautiful image Mother and Baby Girl  by Conie Fong which is available from the Sweet Pea Store in as a digi and in rubber.

This card is for a friend of mine who is just about to have a baby girl in the next week or so.  She is keeping very quite about what she and her hubby are going to call their baby daughter so I couldn't add the name to the card lol.

To begin with I coloured the image with Promarkers

Using the colours I have chosen I am trying to have a vintage feel to this card but the mum to be is far from girly or vintage.  She does wear a lot of fawn colours so I am hoping with all the lace etc I am adding to the card she will still like it.  Maybe I can call it funky vintage lol.

To make the frame for her I used the die cArt decorative Oval Frames and then attached white lace behind the frame which I ruffled.  A couple of flourishes were cut using Crafty Ann -Flourish-5.  All these sections were airbrushed with Warm Brown 5, 4 and 3 Promarkers.

For the card base I used brown paper and then pink card which I embossed with a Tattered Lace embossing folder. Some rather special lace was added along the bottom. Next onto the digi, with her
coloured I then fussy cut her.   Some lace I had which was the perfect colour was placed at the back of part of the frame and then up to the top left edge of the card.  I made some roses from hand made paper using the Spellbinder die Bitty-Blossoms-6 and then added a pram charm, baby girl ribbon bow and some pearl strands.  Liquid Pearls were added along the bottom of the Mums dress to hide the join where it meets the frame and to balance the out I also added some Liquid Pearls to the lace edges of her dress and the babies dress.

 The inside of the card was finished of with some design paper I had floating around and the writing area created with die Sizzix - 657914 which I then air-brushed with my warm brown Promarker.  The flourishes on the front were a bit big for what I wanted so I had trimmed them down, no point in wasting anything so I placed them on the inside :) :) :) .

Ingredients:-

• Image - Mother and Baby Girl  by Conie Fong
• Colouring Medium - Promarkes and chalk (chalk was used for the flowers)
• Dies -  cArt decorative Oval Frames, Crafty Ann -Flourish-5 and Spellbinder die Bitty-Blossoms-6 
• From my Stash - lace, charm, peel off sticker sentiment, peals sprays and ribbon

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

Featured Artist Week with Tera

 Hallo,
   I have 2 projects for you today but both along the same theme. I love to take old cigar boxes (or other similar boxes ) and alter them for a great baby gift - the box holds a 6 by 6 memory book  and gift card all of them matching.
  I used Conie Fong's -' Mother and baby boy' and 'Mother and baby girl' and colored them with prismacolor pencils.
  These are just lovely images to use for the baby box combos!!!
   Have a great day!!!

Mother and Baby Girl

Hello everyone, great to see you here! I have some inspiration for you to show. For this card I recently made I used this sweet image called 'Mother and Baby Girl' and is from the artist Conie Fong. This image is available as rubber and as a digital image. And is available for a boy too. And it is perfect for a card welcoming a newborn baby.

I coloured the image with Copics. The papers I used is from Maja Design 'Sofiero'... love those papers!
I addes some Frantage and white Crackle Paint here and there.

Below you can see how the tag looks like. I stamped a sentiment from Whiff of Joy onto it. A German saying what means 'When a star is falling down from heaven to earth a newborn just see the light of the day'.

Thank you so much for looking! Have a wonderful day now.
Hugs, Karina

Variations Week: Ali's View

This week is Variations Week once again and this time the Design Team are all creating with Connie Fong's adorable Mother and Baby image. There are two versions - Boy or Girl - and I've chosen to work with the Girl version:

I love this pretty image. It absolutely captures the tenderness of a mother's love. :) I used my Promarkers to colour it in warm shades of red and pink:

I went with a rich, warm feeling for my card with pretty patterned papers in rich colours, and lots of embossing and gold and copper tones.

I added lacy ribbon and clusters of pretty flowers and touched them with glitter glue.

And I added a few final accents with a copper Perlen Pen.

You can buy this gorgeous stamp in digi or red rubber form from the Sweet Pea Stamps store.

Here's my version of this beautiful stamp that we are using for this month's Sweet Pea variation week.  This stamp is Conie Fong's Mother and Baby Girl.  It is available in both rubber stamp and digi-stamp format.  I chose to use yellows and greens for this card.  I know lots of mom's get beautiful items in these colors, esp. when they don't know the sex of their baby before it is born. Often the baby showers are filled with more neutral colored gifts.  I think these colors would go well for either, but this cute image, you can so tell she's a sweet baby girl!

I used some gorgeous embossed paper from Heidi Grace with a  sweet "Look at you Grow" sentiment from Basic Grey.  I added a few random sentiments on the card that go perfectly with little children. 
Be sure and check out all of Conie's  wonderful stamps at the Sweet Pea store.

Variations Week: Karina's View

Hello and good morning dear Sweet Pea Stamps lovers. As you know we have Variations Week again. This week all of the Design Team had a play with the new Conie Fong images; either Mother and Baby Boy or Mother and Baby Girl. I decided to make a project with 'Mother and Baby Girl'.

As I use a Baby card now and then I wanted to add a German sentiment. It says 'a bit of mummy, a bit of daddy, and a lot of wonder'. Love this saying.

This image is available as a Rubberstamp, and as a Digi too.

Thank you so much for looking. Hope we are able to inspire you seeing what we all created with the same image.

Hugs, Karina

Variations Week: Shanna's View

Good day everyone. Shanna here to share my take on our image for variations week. How exciting is it to see so many different takes on just one image!!!!

I am so thrilled to share my take as I got to use a new 6x6 pad I just got called Lyric by Prima. I thought this image was just as elegant as the papers and I tried it out. 

Isn't this image just precious???

Here you can see the stickles glitter that I added to the trim. 

I love how elegant this card turned out. 

Thanks so much for joining us this week for our variations. 

Variations Week: Kym's View

This week is one of my favourite weeks on Sweet Pea Stamps.  It is Variations Week when the Design Team are given the same image to work with and come up with such varied cards/creations.  It's still amazing to be part of Variations Week now I am on the Design Team.  This month we were given the option of two different images:  Connie Fong's Mother and Baby Boy or Connie Fong's Mother and Baby Girl.  Both are available in either digital format or rubber stamps.

For my card I have coloured the image in with Promarkers, die-cut and inked the edges with a purple chalk ink pad.  I have kept the colour scheme to pink and purple as I chose the Mother Baby Girl option.  The backing papers are all from my stash.  I have used various Marianne Designs dies to mount the image on/use an embellishment.  I have also used a Spellbinders corner gold ie which I won in some candy.  I have finished the card off with some raffia ribbon, pink lace, heart die-cut stamped with "new baby" sentiment, buttons, brads and some flowers which I have swiped over with some Creative Expression guilding wax (be warned this stuff doesn't half smell.  It made me cough so much!!)
