A Couple of Valentines

Hello! I have made a couple of Valentines today with images by Nikki Burnette. The first one uses Ryla from Plate 73. I just love her lingerie and the cute little owl! The paper is is one sheet, with the layered look printed on it. It was a little bigger than I like to make my cards though, so I cut the center pink section out and moved the beige corners in. It still has the same look as the pre-printed piece but is now 5.25 inches square instead of 6. I know that may seem like a lot of effort for such a small change, but I have envelopes that will fit the 5.25!! I also wrapped silver cord around the card to mimic the strings hanging in the image. The sentiment is a vertical sentiment from Plate 52, but I cut the letters apart so I could mount it horizontally.


The Details:
Stamp: Ryla - Nikki Burnette (Plate 73), sentiment from Plate 52, both from Sweet Pea Stamps
Paper: Bo Bunny, Chocolate Chip 9Stampin Up), White for Image (Copic XPress)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Spun Sugar, Barn Door and Walnut Stain Distress Inks

Owl: E50,E53,E55,E57,E59
Background: E50,E53,R24,R29,R39
Misc: Silver Cord (SU), Stardust Stickles


My second card uses Arden from Nikki Burnette's Plate 82. This is one of my favorite cards that I have made in a long time! I know it is pretty simple without a lot of embellishment, but I was so pleased with how it came out! All of the papers and the "forever" sticker are form Echo Park. (I've just realized that it looks like I mounted the music sheet upside down because the parts that are showing all have the notes upside down! I think most of the "right side up" notes are under the heart! I don't play an instrument - is this normal?!))

Pretty in Pink

I love using a monochromatic color scheme on cards and I thought pink would be perfect for Valentine's Day. I selected a wonderful stamp from ching-chou kiuk called Seeing Through (Plate #42). You can tell from my color scheme how different the image looks than the artist's depiction on the website.I used Spellbinders Nestabilities to cut out some specialty paper to frame the image after coloring it with copic markers. I used a whole pink family R81, R83, R85, R87, and R89 for most of the red/pink highlights on the image.

To complete the Valentine, I added a wonderful verse from the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8; the saying comes from plate #17. The luscious flowers come from Queen and Co. The cardstock I used is from Bazzill and the cute borders are from Doodlebug.

Hope you have fun making Valentines for your loved ones!

Come Softly

This is my first time I post here. I still am so very excited that I got this wonderful chance being part of this wonderful team, creating for this fabulous stamp company Sweet Pea Stamps.

My first creation I want to show you is one of those lovely image of ching-chou kuik's Fantasy Art Collection. This image is called Come Softly, and you can find it on Plate 25, Sheet #5.

I coloured the image with distress ink pads, as I mostly do. I love those colours. They are so nice to play with. I decided for a spring colour combination of linden green and light blue. One of my fave colour combination at the moment. I've added some accents with yellow Stickles to the blond hair, the wings of the moth, and the white flowers as well.

Cardstock is from a local paper company, the DP is from the Basic Grey Lily Kate collection. I distressed the edges of the paper with a distressing tool. The image is cut by hand with a Fiskars Paper Edger. And the border die is from Magnolia.

The old lace I've found while a walk trough a flea market... I love them and always keep my eyes opened for such stuff. The white flowers are from Making Memories and the roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The callas I've found at a local craft shop. The little butterfly I cut from sheet of vellum, from this national paper company as well.

I hope you'll like my creation. Have a wonderful day and see you soon. Thank you for your visit and for your interest in those gorgeous stamps.
