Angelique Presents Lucy Loo - Flower Goddess by The East Wind

Good morning everyone,

Here's another shabby/vintage card from me

For today's card I have used the image Lucy Loo - Flower Goddess by The East Wind

You can find her as digi stamp HERE and if you prefer to work with rubber stamps, you can find her as rubber stamp HERE

A closer look

LUCY LOO - FLOWER GODDESS

She is coloured with Albrecht Durer aquarel pencils and the background with pearl chalks

I have used gathered twigs instead of vintage photo to ink up all layers and elements.

Jane presents Voyager II by Lucy Loo of The East Wind

Hello folks, hope you are having a good day.  Today I am sharing with you another journal page using the image Voyager II by Lucy Loo of The East Wind available from Sweet Pea Stamps in digi format.  I had a really hard time with this page, lots of grief and lots of walking away from it only to return a few hours later and ponder some more :)

To begin with I coloured the image with Polychormos and copper Promarker.  For the background I used a clock embossing folder and hammered the areas I wanted embossed - yes I used a hammer hahahah (I did not want to put this through my machine as I did not want the image to be embossed, only the surrounding area).  The image does not come with the spring, I drew that in :)

Next I covered my book pages with some paper from Kaban.  I thought the paper would be great but once I had got this far I really didn't like it and that is where it all started to become a real pain in the behind.  I keep trying to find ways to added text other than hand written and found a method of using tissue paper and embossing powder.  The tutorial said the tissue paper would be almost invisible but, well it is a bit transparent but not really invisible enough for what I had in mind grrrrrr.  Next I added some texture plastic in a few areas and then airbrushed the background with black and brown Promarkers) For the dies I used the XCut Pocket Watches die set to make my watches, I also used Graphic 45 659053 clock die set.  Another Sizzix border die was used and finished off with tiny pink gems (I managed to drop all the gems in the packed onto the floor, along with a whole box of tiny brads - as you can see this has been a trial of tribulation from start to finish hahaha).  The dies were nearly all cut using gold metal sheet, pink and black card were also used for the watch faces. The sentiment btw reads 'Sometimes your only available transportation is a leap of faith' which I thought was rather appropriate to go with the image and the spring the girl is sitting on which I added - anybody fancying this form of transport really would need to have faith :).

The final bit of work on this was to add Stampendous Frantage Micra in copper, bronze and gold, lots of yummy texture :)

Ingredients:-

• Image - Voyager II by Lucy Loo of The East Wind
• Colouring medium - Polychromos and Promarkers
• Dies - XCut Pocket Watches die set and Graphic 45 659053 clock die set
• From my stash - Frantage, gold sheet, gems, plastic mesh

Holley presents The East Wind's Lucy Loo Mad Hatter

Here's a stunning image from Sweet Pea Artist TheEastWind.  She has a wonderful stamp line using a character called Lucy Loo. Totally one of my favorites. This image is called Lucy Loo Mad Hatter.  It's currently available in both Rubber and Digi format.  Be sure to check out the links to the store as you will see how totally different the artist's original coloring on this image looks compared to my own.  How cool is it to see two totally different looks ont he same stamp.

I used die cuts from CC Designs and a tea cup from Doodle bug designs to go with some MAMBI paper for this card.  Don't you just love Alice in Wonderland theme?  there's a whole fun category of these stamps in the store.

I hope you will drop by our Facebook group, Sweet Pea stamps Friends and Fans where everyone comes to share their creations, chat and join in regular contests and win prizes.  We can't wait to get to know you!

Cheers, Holley

Jane presents What Matters by The East Wind (Aurora)

Hi folks, today I am sharing with you the image What Matters by Aurora of The East Wind available in both rubber and as a digi from the store.  I started by colouring the image with Faber Castell Polychromos, I then fussy cut the image ready to go in my journal.

Next I set to preparing the old book I am using for my journal by using Gesso on the pages to cover the text.  Browsing the net the other day I found this awesome background technique and for the life of me can I find it again to give credit to the person - sorry.  Anyway, the background uses crumpled up tissue paper which is applied to the page with a mixture of PVA and water, making sure you leave those crumples in :)  Once dry use an oil pastel and rub gently over the page, the pastel will adhere to the raised crumple bits leaving an awesome textured background, so touchy feely and looking great.

With the background dry I then drew some flowers to match the image and coloured them again with my Polychromos.  Next I used a dark green oil pastel to pick up the raised areas of the tissue paper.

Onto a bit of die cutting, this die is Oriental Ying Yang by Joy Crafts which I cut four of.  I then coloured them with Pan Pastels and added some silver gilding wax.

Finally, I printed my text on acetate and attached it to my page with double sided tape.  To me 'Me Time' is very important and I don't see it as selfish one bit but more a way of building my strength through finding myself (through crafting) and therefore being in a better place to help others more productively :) :) :) 

A few purple stickle swirls and border around the text and a peace brad to finish off and there we have it, all done.

Ingredients:-
Image - What Matters by Aurora of The East Wind available in both rubber and as a digi from the store
Colouring Medium - Faber Castell Polychromos, oil pastel, Pan Pastels
Dies - Oriental Ying Yang by Joy Crafts
From my stash - Stickles, gilding wax, peace brad

Holley presents Aurora "Fuschia" by The East Wind

Here's a stunning image from Sweet Pea artist The East Wind.  This image comes from the artists Aurora line and she's called Fuschia.  I adore this artist's stunning stamps.  This one is no exception.  I wanted to create a monotone theme card using all oranges for summertime, but be sure to checkout the artist's original coloring so you can see how very different the stamp can look when colored in a different color

I am using a love tag from MME and some daisy die cuts from Die Versions, as well as some netting and some different forms of bling.  Here's a close up of the stamp herself:

Jane presents Bookaholic by The Eastwind (Lucy Loo)

Somthing a little different from me :)  I have made lots and lots of cards but was thinking a while back (no I am not about to be morbid) that I did not have anything to leave my two daughters when my time comes to move to the next dimension :) that was something that truly represented me, something that was home made, not a bought item, not something they feel they will have to put on display but does not match their decor etc if you get my drift.  My thinking got me heading down the path of making a journal for each of them, something to be put away until after I am gone and that they will find and hopefully feel I am close by them :) :) :).  I have managed to get hold of a couple of second hand books and following a idea I read somewhere cut out about 7 pages leaving 5 cutting another 7 leaving 5 and so on.  The 5 page sections are glued together and the 7 page gap allows for my multimedia pages to be built up but still allowing the book to close properly, well that is the idea anyway :).  I am making two books, one for each of my precious girls and this is the first page of the first book for my youngest daughter who loves to read, something I don't take much pleasure in doing hahaha.

For the first page of my art journal I have used the image Bookaholic by Lucy Loo of TheEastWind available from Sweet Pea Stamps in both rubber and as a digi. I coloured the image with Faber Castell Polychromos.

The image was then fussy cut and put to one side while I went to play, sorting the background for the pages. 

To begin with I used Gesso to paint over the text on the pages.  Next I used an old flower template I have had for ages and applied texture paste to create the embossing.  

I then printed my text which I computer generated and glued this to the page.  Once all this was dry I used Spectrum Noir Tints to colour wash the background then applied some Brusho powders which I misted with water to bring out the pigment and allow the colours to follow some of the lumps and bumps of the now dry background.

Next I used a pattern stamp and black Archival ink and added some lace medallions which matched the texture stamp.  To finish off I added black and silver bead braid around my text circle and a small black bow and to the right of the image, three spiral paper clips and 7 black pearls.  

For a first attempt at doing something like this I am rather pleased with the outcome and most of all, I had an absolute blast.  

Ingredients:-

• Image -  Bookaholic by Lucy Loo of TheEastWind 
• Colouring Medium - Faber Castell Polychromos, Brusho, Spectrum Noir Tints
• From my Stash - textured paste, gesso, lace, doily, paperclips, black pearls.

Tera Presents Voyage II - Lucy Loo By The East Wind

 Hallo,
   I have a fun little box project to show you today made using a rubber stamp image from Lucy Loo called 'Voyager II'
   I colored her with prismacolor pencils and used an 'out-of-the-box' technique to cut her out with a die.
  I added some steampunky trinkets
and a gold corner piece made from clay and a silicone mold.
  I used old drawer pulls for the 'feet' on the box and another one for the handle to open the box.
  I had fun making this one and have another one in the works with this image too.
   All for today - Take Care
