Variations Week: Milo's View

Little Curls stamp by Elisabeth Bell.

Holley's Variation

Happy Friday everyone, it's me, Holley here to show you my card for this month's variation week.  I really enjoy this week because it gives so many great ideas on how to use the same stamp with different styles, different coloring, and different techniques.  It's a real insight into all the different things you can do with a single stamp.  This month the group is using a wonderful image from artist Elisabeth Bell called Little Curls.

I did a very simple layout here using a wonderful monotone technique of all greens with the coloring of the little girl using Copic Markers BG11-BG18 and tan pants E30-E31.  She's so adorable.  Those cute bling are very nice fairly flat stickers from Sticko, they give some great shimmer and are still flat enough that they are easy to mail.  The cardstock is a wonderful shimmery green color.

 

Be sure and drop by the Sweet Pea store  and check out all the other Elisabeth Bell stamps, aren't they all so cute?  I know I can't get enough of them.

 

Cheers, Holley

Variations Week: Karina's View

Hello everoyne, we have Variations Week again... yay!! I love to see what the team is creating with the same image. This time we played with sweet 'Little Curls' from Elisabeth Bell. And I tried out something totally different this time; I stamped and colored on Linen. Really have to get more exercise in this, as the colors react so different on fabric. This was my first try, but I quite like how it turned out. Love the linen structure. As I wanted to keep the focus on the image I didn't add more embellishments than the die cutted and distressed key and some sweet little buttons.

On the close up below you can see the structure of the fabric much better...

Now I am curious to read what you think about it.
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs, Karina

Variations Week: Ali's View

For Variations Week the Design Team are all playing with this adorable Little Curls stamp by Elisabeth Bell.

I love this image. It's so sweet and it's just lovely to colour. I used my Prismacolor pencils:

I went with a kraft card blank for my creation and ended up keeping things quite simple as I felt it worked really well with the image. I went with a shabby chic kind of style with some splats and dribbes of Distress Stains on the card front with a doily and a delicate die-cut frame layered over it.

I fussy-cut out the image and attached it with foam tape and finished things off with some pretty flowers.

You can buy this image in red rubber format from the Sweet Pea Stamps store.

Variations Week: Connie's View

I had so much fun playing with this adorable image

by Elisabeth Bell titled

"Little Curls"

You can find her over at

Sweet Pea Stamps

but only in rubber at this time, no digi sorry.

I colored her with Copics and Distress markers and

masked her off to airbrush the background.

I cut her on a SB circle die and matted over an 

embossed (folder by Darice) background.

Add some sheer ribbon by Reasonable Ribbon and diecut

some pretty paper flowers 

(die by Simon Says Stamp) that were cut

from pretty papers by Echo Park.

Added a sheer flower by Offray and

thought that was enough.

I wanted this pretty girl to shine on her own!

I really enjoy seeing what everyone does with the

same stamp and hope all of you

are planning to upload your creations as well.

Thanks for stopping by.
