Variations Week: Sharon's View

Sorry just managed to get my post done in time.  Got carried away with spring cleaning - I know in November!  Just spent the last three days sorting the Kitchen and Living Room, moving everything around and revamping - poor man's decorating!!!  My back is killing me but I'm loving surveying my hard work and loving the new look!!  Have to admit I am quite an addict and would rather move things around than throw anything away!

This week is Variation Week at Sweetpea stamps and we have all been given ANNA MARIA'S MYSERY to work with.  For those wanting to purchase this stamps it's available here and can also be purchased as a plate of four stamps.

For more details check out my blog here.

Best wishes,

Today is my day to share this wonderful stamp from artist Anna Marine called Mystery (Plate #186).  This stamp is just stunning. I know by now you have seen many different looks from all the designers here at Sweet Pea.  Here's my take on this amazing stamp.

This woman is just stunning. I see her looking out and just remembering and hoping for something to return.  I added a wonderful fabric label to the bottom right corner. I am using some yummy gold embellished paper and colored the image with Copic Markers.  I just love all of Anna Marine's images.  She makes everything from pretty and haunting looking beauties to those stunning sexy ladies that make you want to create a card for the hubby.  Check out her images at the Sweet Pea store.

Cheers, Holley

I created this card using a beautiful stamp called "Mystery" by Anna Marine. I decided to go with a princess in a tower look. I dry embossed the top layer of paper, sanded it and inked it with Black soot distress ink before spraying it with Ethereal Emerald Moonshadow Mist by Lindy's Stamp Gang.

The windows are inked around the edges and have Liquid Glass on top to make them look more like stained glass. I added Stickles and various gems to accent. The window is from a Cricut cartridge  and layered three times to create the color variation.The flower was shaded and then I cut off the bottom to make it a better size for her to wear in her hair. I drew on a necklace chain and colored the pearl to match her dress.

  I used a small square stamp pad to make the stones in the wall, inked with Black Soot Distress Ink, and added a frame to make the inside view of the window. The other side has a Nestabilities frame painted with Expresso metallic paint under the image.

I have coloured with promarkers and the Papers are from Maja Design.

Variations Week: Ali's View

For my interpretation of Anna Marine's gorgeous Mystery image, I decided to go completely the other way from the stunning artwork it's based on, and instead of doing dark, gothic colours, I went with pretty pastels and light colours. Amazing how different this image can look depending on how you colour it - just goes to show how versatile it is! :)

I teamed her with muted pink and grey papers and added gemstone flourishes and pretty flowers (punched/die-cut from white card and coloured with Promarkers to tone with the image) to finish.

You can find this lovely stamp at the Sweet Pea Stamps store, in both red rubber and digi versions.
