Serenity by Concetta Kilmer - Jane's creation

Sweet Pea Stamps

Hello folks, here I am again with another creation for  Sweet Pea Stamps.  This week I am working with the beautiful digi 'Serenity' by Concetta Kilmer

To begin with my first personal challenge was to attach black hair.  I so often get this very wrong by trying to over blend using 5 grey colours plus black.  This time I decided to try something a little different - black, plus ice grey 5, 3, and 1 (Promarkers).  All the colouring was done in the greys and then I used the black with the fine nib to build up the black.

 With that done, time to colour the rest of the digi.

Phew, - eyes need a rest now lol.  OK - better and coffee drunk so back to crafting.  I started on the card base where I plan to use black card, olive green paper and black lace for a rather sexy look hahahaha

 Card put together now for the embellishing. I have mixed together gold and clear embossing powders, I don't want a solid gold but just a sprinkling.  This will be used on the butterfly which I cut with Spellbinders Les Pavilions 2.

Here is the butterfly - black for the base layer and the top layer coloured with olive green Promarker.  Both sections finished off with the gold and clear embossing powder mixture.

 A few more bits and bobs needed, Stickles, peel off sentiment (not sure if I am using gold or colouring a silver one in greens yet), ribbon and of course a tag which I have been making as I go along with the other sections.

 All done.  I finished off the inside of the card with cerise paper cut with Spellbinders Grand Labels 1and a rubber stamped butterfly which I painted with Stickles lol.

 And here we have the finished card :)

Thank you for stopping by :)

Kym's Weekly Post

It is start of another month and therefore time for another challenge over at One Sweet Challenge.  

This month the topic is "A Gift in Itself" ie maybe a card like a present or a gift card or an actual gift item you can give to someone.

  

Here is the gift item I have made - a gift for a friend to put on their Christmas tree:

 I decided to make a decorated bauble for the tree.  I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Holly Fairy".   It is available as a digital stamp, single rubber stamp and as part of a multi-image plate (Sheet 21, Plate 60 - Holly Fairy comes on the multi-image plate with Poinsettia Fairy, Holly Night and Cherish Christmas).  The image has been coloured in with my Graph'it pens and I have inked around the edge with Tim Holtz's Peeled Paint distress ink.

For the chipboard bauble I first added gesso.  I then tore up some Christmas tissue paper a crafty friend gave me last year into pieces and used watered down PVA to stick the tissue paper onto the bauble.  Once dry I used a texture stamp by Sheena Douglass around the edge and all over the back of the bauble - well you can't leave the back messy in case the bauble swings around on the Christmas tree!!

Here is a close-up of the image by Ching-Chou Kuik.  Isn't she stunning?

I have finished the bauble off with some hanging thread, wooden bow which I have coloured with my red Graph'it pens, cheesecloth, die-cut holly and some gems as the berries.

***************************************

Here is a card I have made using a Sweet Pea Stamps image called "Serenity" by Concetta Kilmer.  This image is available as a rubber stamp and also as a digital stamp.  

I have coloured the image in with my Promarkers/Flexmarkers and highlighted areas with my Pan Pastels.  I have kept to a summery yellow colour scheme.  

The backing papers are from what I have been given.  Around the image I used various See D's stamps to add some detail.  I die-cut Tim Holtz's butterfly die and then coloured it with two shades of yellow Pan Pastel.  I have finished the card off with gems, satin edged organza ribbon, die-cut sentiment, die-cut butterflies and some flower buttons (yes these are buttons which I have taken the shank off and filed down the rough edge).

Concetta Kilmer - Serenity

Hello there!

Today I want to share a card for you, which I made on a scrap event named Scrapp med Hjertet last weekend. 
I made the card for a sketch challenge, and I ended up with this card, made with the beautiful stamp named Serenity by Concetta Kilmer:

The finished card - I only need some beautiful letters with the recievers name on, 

I just haven't found "the right ones" yet ;)

The challenge text said there should be a bird on the card - 

I added this beautiful bling pebble bird

My fav charm ;)

The inside of the card with a small text and a writing panel

Beautiful Serenity

I hope you liked my card. 

Wishing you all a Happy Easter. 

Lots of love,

SHARON'S TURN

I finally got around to using this beautiful stamp by CONCETTA KILMER called SERENITY available as a single stamp or as a set of four on Sheet 1, Plate 221 here.

I have been finding it difficult to craft for a while and struggling to get back into enjoying the crafting but hopefully my love of it is coming back and I'll be back to full speed soon.  Well with stamps like this one who couldn't be inspired!

For those that still don't know it - Sweetpea stamps are now doing digital stamps so for those of you who can't wait for your stamps to arrive why not try Sweetpea's digital stamps for immediate inspiration.

I like how her hair turned out using Copics E07, 08 and 09 and  a dark brown pencil.  I think I would make her skin tone more Olive next time although pale skin is synonymous with red hair!

I hope I have inspired you, best wishes and good crafting!

Serenity

Hello everyone, hope you're doing fine. Today I want to share with you a card I recently made with the gorgeous new image from Concetta Kilmer. This beautiful portrait is called 'Serenity'. You can find this image on Plate # 221, together with three other amazing images. And you can get her as a single stamp as well.

I used some Glitz papers, Wild Orchid Crafts Rose, Dark blue self adhesive rhinestones, Spellbinder Fancy Labels 3 (I think) and some Distressing ink in faded blue jeans.

This image is by our artist "Nikki Burnette" called "Karmina" and you can purchase her as a single or on sheet #4, Plate #100.

  I used some PinkPaislee paper from the Spring Jubillee collection.

I added a dollie, some Wild Orchid Crafts Roses, Spellbinder's Fancy labels die, Maya Road leaf pins and some aqua self adhesive rhinestones.

The image was colored with copics

I wanted to pull out some of my older images and give them some love.  I still have so many that I have not created with yet.  It's so hard to pick witch one I want to stamp out and create with.

I hope this encourages you to play with some of your images that you haven't created with yet.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day and week.

Autumn to Spring

Hi everyone.  Today I have 2 cards to share with you the first one has an Autumn feel to it and the second one has a Spring feel to it.

I love the colors of this first one, so warm and comforting.

I used an older image by ching chou kuiks called "Spring-Moony-Night".

Sheet #3, Plate #22.

 I used some new 6x6 papers from BoBunny.

This one reminds me of Spring.  I used one of Conie Fong's images from her very first sheet, called
"Serenity", Sheet #1/Plate #185.

Sorry my last pictures aren't that great.  I really need a better camera.
Thanks for stopping by today and have a wonderful day.

Hugs:)

Conie Fong's Serenity

Here is a card featuring Conie Fong,s SERENITY that I made using the STAEDTLER Karat Soft pastels and the STAEDTLER Karat Aquarell Water Color pencils. I colored the image with the Aquarell Pencils and made the background paper by stenciling a flower pattern onto it. I outlined a Prima flower with the Karat soft pastels and rubbed the pastel chalk off onto the paper and this is the effect I got!

Here is another photo in a different light! I love the dramatic look of this card and I am so in love with Sweet Pea Stamps!!! There is something for everyone and always a great sale or a deal! Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out the store for more great deals!
