Pearl Drop by Renee Biertempfel

I just love all the images from Renee Biertempfel available through Sweet Pea Stamps.
This beauty is called Pearl Drop.
For this card I wanted to keep it uncluttered to keep the focus on this gorgeous image. I am normally a girl who doesn't leave much untouched space, so this was really difficult to do.  But I do love the end result.
Renee Biertempfel's Pearl Drop can be purchased on her own, or on Sheet #2, Plate #153 with three other stunning images.
Hugs Renee

Miss You

Here's a stunning image from Sweet Pea artist ching-chou kiuk. This stamp is called Dream of Iris . I love the forlorn look on her face. I think she goes well with the Miss You sentiment from Plate #98.I used a wonderful shimmery cardstock as the base of this card and a Martha Stewart corner punch. I colored the image using Copic Markers and cut it out with Spellbinders Nestabilities. I covered the edges of the die cut with black ink and the image of the card with white ink. I added white cardstock inside the card to make the corners stand out with a white background.

Project Materials: Cardstock (Hobby Lobby, Neenah); Ink (Memento, Stazon White, Colorbox Chalk); Rubber Stamps(Sweet Pea); Corner Punch (Martha Stewart); Adhesives (Popdots, Glue All); Color (Copic Markers); DieCut (Spellbinders-Nestabilities);

Connie-Hang In There!

I had alot of fun with this cute image by Sweet Pea artist Karen Middleton.
As soon as I saw this stamp, I knew what I would do with it!

I stamped it with Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics and trimmed.  
Then using my Xacto knife I cut small slits so I could thread
some fibers through.  
I stamped the verse (also on this plate #112) and cut each word
and matted them after sponging some "Desert Sand" ink by CTMH
on the edges.
I punched a tiny hole and tied some string on each and "hung"
them on the fibers.  
I confess to not being able to fit them on the
card unless they were cut apart.
The background paper is by DCWV from their 
"The Pets Stack" collection.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Falling Leaf and Friend

Artisit Renee Biertempfel has another new image, Falling Leaf and Friend, and full plate #153 available from Sweet Pea Stamps. The entire plate is gorgeous, but this image is my favorite of the four (at least for today!).




As excited as I am for Summer, I really enjoy coloring and working with the richness and warmth of the fall colors. Of course, nothing says the leaves couldn't be done in green too.


Get Inky!

Sassy and Sweet

Isn't Love Lace drawn by Joanne Schempp just a touch sassy, but still so lovely?  I really love Joanne Schempp's artistic style and this is only one of many of her images I am enjoying playing with.  If you haven't added some of her designs to your Sweet Pea Stamps collection, you really should.




This little sweetie is called Seahorses Mermaid drawn by Elaine Cox for Sweet Pea Stamps.  She is one of the 'older' images, but there are sooooooooooooooo many available at Sweet Pea Stamps and they are all so beautiful, how can I not go back to the early ones and play with them some more?




Get Inky!

Melana

Today I want to show you beautiful Melana. She is from the fabulous artist Nikki Burnette and she comes as a single stamp or is available on  plate 120 with three more gorgeous images. 

I had such a pleasure to colour her with my Distress Inks. First I had the middle paper piece in my hands. And immediately I knew I have to take this stamps and have to colour her in those colours which are on the paper as well, pink and blue. The background paper I chose afterward. I like how she turned out.



Thank you very much for your always much appreciated visit here. Before you go just look at all those gorgeous new artists and images Sweet Pea Stamps have. You will love them.

Have a wonderful day!
Hugs, Karina
