Little Red Riding Hood

Stamps: Ching Chou Kuik's "Little Red Riding Hood" sheet 23, Plate 65

I just adore Ching Chou Kuik's whimsical version of Little Red Riding Hood! For today's cards I used some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and Glimmer Screens for backgrounds. These are the scraps I have left over from other projects. When you use the glimmer mist screens (think opposite of a stencil), you spray over them to create a pattern. When you spray over them, the glimmer mist collects on top of the screen...so always have a sheet of cardstock handy to flip the screen over on to. So, all that glimmery goodness never goes to waste. I then added some washi tape and Tim Holtz tissue tape and some black and white baker's twine.

Copic Markers:

Top card: E0000, E00, E11, E33, E35, E40, E42, E51, E70, RV000, BG10

Bottom card: R20, R22, R24, R25, R37, E11, E19 E30, E33, E35, E50, E51, E71, E74, E77, B00, B02, B06, BV31, RV02

Ching Chou Kuik's Red Riding Hood Series

Although I've been in the Halloween mode, I decided to use one of the Little Red Riding Hood stamps from Plate #65.

I colored her with Copics and created the flower with a scrap of silk ribbon. The papers are all scraps which were embossed with various embossing folders from a friend. Honestly, I've been sick since Thursday, so this card has a lot of mistakes but this cutie is just too cute, regardless of the coloring mistakes.

For the card design I went clean & simple - but added the silk ribbon flower in the corner.

To cover the accidental gob of glue, I strategically placed some left over die cut leaves.

The sentiment is also from Plate #65 which I stamped onto white card stock and then cut apart to put the first part of the sentiment on the front of the card and the rest of it on the inside.

Works for me, how about you? I'm off to check out the new, fabulous releases at the new, spiffy and elegant Sweet Pea Stamps webstore. Are you with me? See you there!

Little Red Riding Hood in Blue

Hi Sweet Pea Stampers,

I'm afraid my card today is quick one. Not a lot of embellishments but as with all of the incredible stamps at Sweet Pea Stamps, one uber cute little girl.

For my card I used one of the images from Ching Chou Kuik's Little Red Riding Hood series from Plate #65. Isn't she just the cutest? Like I said, not very many embellishments, just the gemstones.

The image is colored with Copics and after seeing Kym's gorgeous chalk backgrounds, I dug mine out. I still have to 'practice' some more, but I love the softness - just a hint of color. And since I used shimmery chalks, there's also a hint of shimmer.

I love coloring these images from Plate #65, they are so quick to color. And because they are not as detailed as chin chou kuiks fantasy art stamps, these stamps are perfect for paper piecing. What do you think? I think next time I'm going to try some paper piecing..... wanna join me?

Thanks so much for stopping by and if you haven't heard the news yet.... you are going to be in for a surprise so be sure to stop by the Sweet Pea Stamps shop!!! That's all I'm saying........ :-)

Ching-Chou Kuik's Little Red Riding Hood - Plate 65

Ching-Chou Kuik's Little Red Riding Hood images from plate 65 are awesome. They are so easy and quick to color and can be super versatile! I was totally useless the day they arrived - I just had to color them all.

 

Who’s Afraid……

Have you seen the new Ching Chou Kuik stamps at Sweet Pea Stamps?    They are somewhat different from her gorgeous fantasy art series.  They are totally, 100% adorable….. I love ‘em.  Ok, so I love all stamps, images, etc….  what can I say….. I try to spread the love :-).  But seriously you have got to check these out.

Is she not the cutest?  She is part of ching chou kuik’s ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ sheet 23, plate 65 from Sweet Pea Stamps.
Told ya, didn’t I.  Still gorgeous but a little different.  And so easy to color.  I know that a lot of crafters are intimidated by the intricate detail on her fantasy art stamps – I know I was – though you have to just play with those….. they are perfect to let your imagination totally roam.  Ok, I’m sidetracking here….. oh, yeah…these stamps are very easy to color and although these images are different, they still bear the trademark ching chou kuik signature…….the eyes.  
And with the kiddos back to school,  now is a perfect time to treat yourself to one (or two) of these awesome Sweet Pea Stamps  stamps.  Head over to the store now, because there is always a special going on.  Talking about specials…… check out the SPS DT blog and check out the challenge going on now…..  run…… :-).
Until next time……
