Karen Middleton and NO COPICS

Hi everyone. I hope you are having a wonderful day.  Today I would like to share with you 2 cards that I created using 2 of Karen Middleton's portrait images.  For anyone who follows my personal blog know's that I also love to color images with my pencils on Kraft paper.  Well this is my first time coloring Sweet Pea Stamps images with my Prismacolor pencils and I am sooooo pleased with how they came out.

This first one I used the image called "Pixie" and she can be purchased as a single of on Sheet #18, Plate #194. I used some Six By Six paper by My Minds Eye called "Honey Cake".

I colored her with Prismacolor pencils. I also added some Wild Orchid Crafts roses, pearl wedding embellishments, distressing tool and distressing ink in Stained Walnut.

For my second one I used another Karen Middleton stamp called "Tara" and she can be found on the same sheet.

I colored her with Prismacolor pencils on Kraft paper too.  I used some Basic Grey paper from the "Marjolaine" line.  I added some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, Sizzix Leafy Flourish die that I cut into pieces. I also used a Spellbinder Nestie Die for the image and added some blue rhinestones. I also went around the edges of the paper with Distressing ink in Crushed Olive.

Well I hope you like these and that I tried to create something a little different.

Remember there is a HUGE sale going on over at the STORE.  SO hurry up and grab some FAB deals before they are gone.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

Hugs:)
