Variation's Week Holley's View

 Hi all! It's Holley here today to share my variation with the Pumpkin Sprite image from artist Mitzi Sato-Wiuff.  You all KNOW I just love Halloween and this stamp is no exception. It's just cute as can be. I totally loved coloring this little guy up and making a fun Halloween card with him.  I used some felt ribbon with ruffles, some sparkly candy buttons, a trio of Jackolaterns and a shimmery flower with a "scary" brad in the middle.  What more could you want for Halloween?
Well, candy of course. So I had to add a delightful chipboard tag to remind everyone that I want some candy!  Here's this adorable image from Mitzi Sato-Wiuff.  She has the cutest Sprites and fairy stamps at the store.

I hope the cards this week are starting to put you in the Halloween mood. Did you know the store has a whole category just for the holiday, click here or here for digi.

Cheers, Holley

Variation Week Pumpkin Sprite-Olivia's View #MSWpumpkinsprite

This week our team has decided to showcase some of the fabulous rubber images offered by Mitzi at Sweet Pea Stamps
We all used the image-Pumpkin Sprite. Of course this one was just perfect for a Halloween project for me.
I left this one as a 4 x 6 since I have yet to decide if I am going to use it as a part of a scrapbook page or for a card.  I colored the image with my Copics and placed it on a embossed spider background mat.  I added a sentiment from a stash with a tiny spider and some twine to give it more depth.

Variations week: Lina's View

I absolutely love Mitzi's whimsical images, and this one is just one of the cutest. The little kitty has so much expression in its pose alone.


As always I colored her in with my copics, and these are the ones I used:
Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11
Orange: Y35, Y38, YR16, YR07, YR09
Brown: E40, E41, E42, E43, E44
Green: YG93, YG95, YG97
Purple: V12, V15, V17
Grey: W3, W5, W7, W9

There's no fancy folds going on this time. It's just a few flowers, a bit of ribbon and some dew drops. Plain and simple, so the pretty image can really shine on the front.


The stamp is Pumpkin Sprinte by Mitzi Sato-Wiuff, found at the Sweet Pea Stamp store as a rubber only stamp.


Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Variations Week with Pumpkin Sprite: Aletha’s View

Aletha here and it’s my day for our Variation’s Week featuring Mitzi Sato-Wiuff’s Pumpkin Sprite rubber stamp. Mitzi’s sprites are some of my favorites among her rubber stamps in the Sweet Pea Stamps shop.


I had a lot of fun doing my first Halloween themed card for this year. Pumpkin Sprite was colored with Copics and some added bling was added with glitter pens. Next step was to trim her with a circle die, add black ink around the circle, and mount her on a circle die cut in orange cardstock. This orange die cut has black ink around the outer edge also.

Copics used:
Skin: E000, 00, 04, 11, 21, and R20
Pumpkin body: E08, 29, 31, and YR04
Treat bucket and flower hat: YR20, 21, 23, 24, 27
Leaves and stem: G40, 82, 94, 99
Cat: C1, 5, 7, 9, and black Copic liner
Cats eyes and inside of bucket: YG21m 25
Background: W00, 0, 1, 2, 3


I had a lot of fun with my various dies too. I cut out all the elements and before I detached them from the die I added black ink to the embossed areas. For the bats eyes I decided on some Liquid Pearls. Last embellishment is the pumpkin brad in the upper left corner. After all was done, I decided that Pumpkin Sprite is trying to decide if she wants to go on with her Trick or Treat evening.

My complete recipe for Pumpkin Sprite:
  • Stamp: Pumpkin Sprite rubber stamp by Mitzi
  • Cardstock: SU in Basic Black and Marigold Morning
  • Designer Paper: Gina K’s Spooktacular You!
  • Ink: Black Licorice
  • Liquid Pearls: Daffodil
  • Brad: Teresa Collins Haunted Hallows
  • Dies: Celebrations Pierced Circles, Witche’s Brew, Graveyard Scenes and Shapes, Nested Bats (all Spellbinders)


I wanted to remind you all that we have a monthly challenge at One Sweet Challenge. There are fantastic prizes there. Over at our Sweet Pea Stamps Facebook group, we have a bi-weekly art contest. That prize is one digi stamp from the Sweet Pea Stamps store. You must use a Sweet Pea image, the theme is always “Anything Goes,” and you can enter as many times as you want. Each entry MUST be a new project. How easy is that? For all the upcoming events and sales visit our Sweet Pea Facebook page.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you visit every day for more Sweet Pea inspiration.

Midnight Raven - Tera

 Hallo,
   Tera here with a sweet little card today using 'Midnight Raven' by Ching Chou Kuik.
   I colored her with prismacolor pencils and cut her out with a Spellbinders die. Found some pretty papers to match the bit of  purple in her hair and for her eyes and a bit of black and gray accented with a silver metallic pen.
  Then I added some silver pearl drops with a tulip fabric paint pen, some gray ribbon, some purple ribbon, a paper flower that I sprayed with purple colored glimmer mist - and last but not least a cleat sticker birdcage with a raven in it.
  I will probably be using this for a Halloween card but it doesn't have to be :)
  All for today - Take Care
       Tera

Athena

 Here's a great image from Sweet Pea artist Charmaine Flannery named Athena.  I just love this steampunk girl and the mechanical owl sitting on her knee.  I found these metallic owl stickers from Sticko that just seemed to match perfectly. I used a sentiment from Sweet Pea "Owl always love you" to go with the card.  Isn't she fabulous? 
 
Here's a close up of the stamp, it's currently available in rubber and digital format

 
Be sure and click the link so you can see the artist's original coloring. I love to see how different an image can look based on the color. I am still using a hint of violet, but her primary color is violet, including the hair, so beautiful!
 
Have a great weekend everyone. Hope you have a crafty time.
 
Cheers, Holley
