Rosemary

Hi everyone... today I want to show you a card I made with this fabulous image 'Rosemary' from Karen Middletons Rag Doll Designs. She is soooo beautiful, don't you think so? I had this background paper from K& C for a while already and wanted to make a card with it soon. So I thought why not give her some blue/green hair to combine with this papers. And I really love it. I coloured her with Distress Inks. 

This gorgeous image is available as a single stamp, and together with three other beautiful portraits on Plate # 184. The sentiment is from Sweet Pea Stamps as well.



Have a wonderful day!
Hugs, Karina

Connie-Cornflower Blue

Isn't this Karen Middleton image from Sweet Pea Stamp's 
plate #194 titled "Cornflower Blue" simply gorgeous??
You will find other equally stunning images on this same plate by clicking

In keeping with her name I kept the same "cornflower blue" color scheme throughout.
I colored the image with Copic markers and then cut it out and
ran a black Copic marker around the edges to cover up those
little bits of white where I missed the lines.
I sponged some Memento "Summer Sky" around the edges of her
blouse to define the image against the white backdrop.

Supplies used include embossing folder by Couture Creations "Drink Me",
white Offray ribbon from Wal Mart, pop dots.
I kept the card on the simple side so not to overwhelm this wonderful stamp.

Thanks for stopping by!

ANOTHER ONE FROM ME - SHARON

I had been wanting to use this collection of stamps from Elizabeth Bell but Christmas came and I was unable to craft.  I must admit it took me a few days to get back into crafting - may be it's a little bit like when you fall off a bike - you are apprehensive about getting back on it!

I have used two stamps on this project from Elizabeth Bell's PARTY COLLECTION - Party Play and Party Present available here


For more details check out my blog here.

Best wishes,

Planting Seeds of Happiness

Here's a stunning image from Sweet Pea stamps artist Valerie Wade called "Planting Seeds" (Plate#118). I love this artist's amazing fairy images. I just had to add some stunning floral lace that I got while in Turkey, along with some beautiful butterflies. After that, I think the image stands out enough that the card doesn't need any more embellishing.I added little polka dots with a gold pen around the diecut and gently edged the cardstock of the image with some Colorbox Chalk in a deep pink. Here's a closeup of the stampIsn't she just adorable? Makes me think of a little girl running around the meadow, only instead of picking flowers, this little girl is spreading seeds that will turn into flowers.

Hope this card inspires you today to grab a stamp and make a card. Be sure to check out all the wonderful stamps on sale at Sweet Pea as well as the new stamps that are just released. Also, I am having a wonderful celebration all month long in Feb! I am about to hit my TWO year anniversary for having two brain surgeries that saved my life. It's been so amazing and I can't even tell you how wonderful I am now. Stop by my blog as there's blog candy almost everyday this month! Big hugs to Sweet Pea stamps!! They were a tremendous support for me when I was so sick that I can't possibly thank them enough. Sweet Pea stamps ROCK!!

Cheers all, Holley
