Seeing Through

Hi everyone! :) I hope you are all having a wonderful week. It's a good one here, just super busy so I just have a quick post for you today :) For my card today, I decided to ink up this absolutely gorgeous image from Sweet Pea Stamps. This particular image is called Seeing Through and I think she's one of my absolute favorites (I say that about them all don't I) :) This image was so much fun to color. I colored the image with copics and then sponged around the image with SU's Rose Red ink. Next, I added Stardust Stickles to her wings. I then created my card base out of SU cardstock. My DP is from The American Paper Co. (I got it at Michael's). For some finishing touches, I added pearls, a bow, and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. What do you think?

Thank you all so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day! :)

Hugs, Christine

Dark and Dramatic

I love using feathers with these images! I think they add drama. I did a funky background around this image. I painted it with Twinkling H20's (very carefully as the Memento ink doesn't like water!) then topped it with the Glossy Accents. Something different...and wow is it hard to match papers when you do things like that hehe. Thanks for letting me share it with you!

Lilly Pad ......

Hello everyone, when I saw this beauty I just knew I had to Kreate with her. Isn't she just enticing laying on her Lilly pad? This is ©ching-chou kuik- Spring Night, sheet 18, plate 53.  I colored her with copics and then cut her out with my oval cutter from Creative Memories.  The flower border was cut with a MS punch.  I used a tute I found to make the flowers out of crepe paper. I then put them on some home made crinkle bias tape ribbon. Sprinkles of stickles, a bit of glossy accents, a chalked background and a few gems finish her off.  I hope you enjoy!

"Life's Beauty Inspires Me To Kreate"

Every rose has its thorn

I made this card for a specific challenge  -  to make a card with a song of your choice in mind. I chose: every rose has its thorn by Poison. I had just seen a documentary about the band on MTV and this beautiful ballad got stuck in my head. As soon as I saw the challenge and started singing the song I thought of this image - Love is gone from plate #29. It's very goth and rock'n'roll, don't you think?.

I started by choosing matching papers. I had a small rosy panel that I matched with a stripey one from BG. I then coloured my image with coordinating promarkers. I wanted the circular part of the sketch to look like a rose so I cut out circles in different shades and sizes. Then I assembled them so they would look like a rose. To accentuate the detail I added a small piece of leaf-ribbon in the left lower corner. It was white, but I coloured it with my promarkers to match. The final touch was some glitter to the wings and rose and pearls in the corners of the card.
