I colored this image
"Cherish Christmas" by ching chou kuiks at Sweet Pea Stamps (sheet #21/ Plate #60) and decided I wanted to cover it with some glossy accents to make it look like glass. As I set down to create a card for her I had this idea of creating a card that looks like a church. I remembered I had a stained glass embellishment and then it all started to come together. I added pop dots to the center piece the steeple part of the church to give dimension to the church.
I drew in the side stained glass windows and colored it with copics then went over it with some Twinkling H2o's and then added some liquid glossy accents over them. I cut out black strips and pop dotted them to create the steps of the church. The bushes under the windows are some Vellum stickers that were actually trees that I cut and layered with pop dots to add dimension.
Here is a close-up of the image, stained glass and shrubs.
Here is a pic of the shine from the glossy accents.
I also added some yellow silky rope/twine around the steeple ( center part of the card) just to give it that finished look and it also hides the pop dots when looking at it from the side.
Well I hope this inspired you to get creative with your next card and do something different!!
I really love how this card turned out!! This Christmas card will go to someone special to me..My Mom!! She'll love it!!

Look at this Elaine Cox(
Starry Halloween) image from
Sweet Pea Stamps!!!!!!! Isn't it just gorgeous??? This image is HUGE!! I have her on a 6x6 card, so you can tell how big it is. I had the hardest time trying to get a decent pic of my card.. it is so much prettier in person. Sometimes pics just don't show the true beauty of someone artwork. I love that I was able to get so much dimension in her dress with my copics.
I used some Basic Grey eerie DP and circle chipboard. I used my new EKSuccess Big Spiderweb border punch. I love the bigger border punches they will be perfect for my Scrapbook pages
For this one I used one of
Samantha Rawlings images at Sweet Pea Stamps and the name of this image is
"Lil' Witch" sheet #2 Plate #62. I think she is so cute with her one eye showing!! The artist of this images is only 18 yrs old and she draws some of the cutest images.
I used some DCWV DP and a Creative Memories Jack-o-Lantern Die cut that I have had over 9 yrs..Talk about old. I added a pumpkin paper clip.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful day!!

I love all things crafty. Stamps and Scrapbooking are on the top of my list. I hope to share some of my love's in life with others. And to know that I'm not the only obsessed crafter out there. I have been married to my husband Bill for over 11 years. I have three children; my daughter Destiny(18),Son Bailey(11) and my youngest Jazmine(7).
The first one is Twilight Halloween and I have colored it in black and white (with Copic Markers) and then added some sparkle with a Clear Stardust Sakura gel pen.
For Starry Halloween I decided to make the witch green and tried to match her to my paper. She is also colored with Copics, but I did use Twinkling H2O watercolors on the moon to make it shimmer and a little Clear Stardust Sakura gel pen on the twinkling stars!
I have been married to my wonderful husband for 24 years. We have a long awaited, much appreciated 14 year old daughter. After many years of traveling with the military, I think we may finally be settling down. Maybe....
