More ATCs

















I got so inspired by my last ATC that I decided to make some more. And I'm just warming up. This is a great way to try out new techniques as the area to work is so small (about 2.5x3.5") It's also a great way to use up anything small you might have: paperscraps, bling, punches etc.

I have stamped directly onto patterned paper as I love the sheer look it gives. It's perfectly fine to colour on although you might not get a brilliant shading (great for us that hasn't perfected our colouring skills)

For this pink/green I used one of Meredith Dillman's stamps from plate #94. She is actually holding an egg, but attaching a flower made the image more versatile. The word stamp is from ching chou kuik's sheet 7, plate 29. I kept it a bit distressed and added gold. Love that combination.

















For my other ATC I used Linda Bigg's "Bella's paradise" from plate 81. The patterned paper already had the black detail. All I had to do was stamp and colour. I love the underwater effect here. I also went a bit crazy with my glitterpen and added dimensional glaze on the black swirl to the right. Finally before mounting I punched a border and attached it to the right to even out the ATC layout.


Brown Hat Spring Fairy

This is a fun image from the Elaine Cox collection titled Brown Hat Spring Fairy. She can be found on plate #40 along with three other sweet images.

Little Daisy


 Hi everyone!:) Hope you all are doing great! Today I want to share one card, with a beautiful image, and it's the first time I've made a card with her, but I promise..it's not the last!!:)
For this card I used "Little Daisy" by Karen Middleton at Sweet Pea Stamps.  You can purchase her as a single or on Sheet #3 Plate #114.
Isn't she beautiful?:) She looks like a "happy summer-girl":)


I have colored her with my Prisma Premier Pencils, and the lovely paper is from Magnolia (the one with roses), and the other one is from Maja Design.
I have been using my M.S flourish punch around all the edges, and I LOVE the effect it gives!!:)
I love fairies, flowers and butterflies..so this image is one of my favorite!! Perfect for young girl, and for those who isn't a teenage anymore!:))

Wish you all a beautiful day, and take good care!!
Hugs, Ellen

Hit 600!!!!!

I will be posting the 3 winners for the blog followers tomorrow. I am having major computer problems today. Thank you for all who follow Sweet Pea Stamps

Broken Angel

Here's a stunning stamp called Broken Angel by artist Meredith Dillman (Plate #107). I just love the beauty of this stamp. I wanted to give this stamp very rich coloring so I chose bright blues and dark yellows. I then matched those colors with cardstocks to create the card.


The beautiful border surrounding the image is done with large size punches from Martha Stewart. I lined the center with shimmery silver paper and then added my Copic colored image along with my saying for the card. The saying comes from another Meredith Dillman sheet Plate #98.

Wishing you all a wonderful stamping day!

Cheers, Holley

Bill Plank's Darling Christmas Elves!

I made this card with the Trimming the Tree image from Bill Plank that can be found on Sheet one plate 157. How precious are these sweet little helper elves? I would love it if some came and did my tree for me!(LOL) I colored this with copic markers and on the fluffy hats and the garlands, liquid applique fit the bill. Then I got to play with all of my stickles and did the ornaments in grand fashion!Then the red dots and the "pearls" are viva decor pens! 
I hope you like it!Thanks for stopping buy!

Connie-Mirima by Elaine Cox


Today I played with the beautiful image
"Mirima"
from plate #133 by Elaine Cox.
You can find this beauty over at
along with 3 other equally beautiful images.

I stamped her with Memento's Tuxedo Black and colored with Copic markers.
Then I layered her with some yummy papers by Prima
from their "Fairy Flora" collection.
Add some bubble stickers by Momenta and some half pearls by
K&Company.

Thanks for looking!
Connie
