Having fun with my Stamps and Copics

Hi Everyone, today I have 3 cards to share with you.  This past weekend I watched movies with the kids and just got lost in coloring.  I did manage to make quite a few cards and here are 3 of them.

These first 2 cards I used stamps by our artist Anna Marine.  I don't know about you but I am In Love with her artwork and so afraid to color them that I would never be able to do them justice.  Well be afraid no more as you can get lost in your coloring and realistic of her images. 

For this one I used "Claudia" and she can be bought as a single or on Sheet #4,Plate #186.

  Here is close up of this beautiful image.  I really love her face and her puffy lips,not ot mention her corn rolls or Dread Locks, nto for sure what they are.

 For my second one I used another image by Anna Marine called "Mystery" and she can be found on the same plate, plate #186.

 I used some of my favorite papers from Glitz.  I love the green and black together.

For my last card I used and image by Joanne Schempp called "Erin Irish Mermaid" and she can be purchased as a single or on Sheet #10, Plate #178.

I used a mat stack from K&Company and all the embellishments is also from K&Company except for the flowers they are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Oh and I added Perfect Pearls to the pearls in her hair.

Don't look to close on her shoulder as I let some of the purple bleed into her skin.

So next time you have a lazy day of watching TV/Movies, get out your stamps and coloring mediums and have fun.

Remember this week we have all Meredith Dillmans stamps on sale.  Go HERE to check them out.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

Hugs:)

Constance

Here's a great image from artist Nikki Burnette named Constance (Plate #149). Isn't she a beauty? I just love her expression. I had this wonderful fall color paper that was warm browns on the outside and oranges inside, so I colored her up with gorgeous reds and deep oranges. Then I highlighted the card with some luxurious embroidered paisley that I bought in Turkey. It's a rich orange with luscious brown sequins inside. YUM!I cut the outside edge of the card to match the shape of the paisley and let the inside coloring of the cardstock show. I added a wonderful sentiment "The eyes indicate the antiquity of the soul." (Ralph Waldo Emerson) and used a couple of great flower embellishments from All My Memories to add one extra touch. The die cut used on this card is a new shape that Sizzix is selling. Be sure to check out all of Nikki's stamps (click here). I just love this image, and her new sheet that just came out, OH, I can't WAIT to get my hands on those. That little witch (Adrianna)--you are SO gonna see a card with her soon!!

Cheers All, Holley

Connie-Flowing In Blue

Different isn't it?

I debated cutting out the center, but decided it was too pretty to destroy.

What do you think?

Does it hide the image too much or does it enhance it?

Supplies:

Plate #47 by ching chou kuik for Sweet Pea Stamps

"Flowing In Blue"

Copic markers

Color Box Chalk inkpad "Wisteria"

Memento inkpad "Tuxedo Black"

overlay is from die by Cheery Lynn Designs

"Cathedral Lace Frame"

(I had to use the metal plate insert in my Cuttlebug to cut this

intricate die)

I colored the image with Copic markers and swiped the edges with

Wisteria and then slightly with Tuxedo Black to give

it more definition then slid it behind the diecut.

Pink base is from my stash.  This die cuts about a 5" by 7" size

so my card is a little oversized.

I hope you like it....I am still undecided yet....

Placement cards

I've had a lot of fun with my project for today. I recently got some copic markers to color with, but haven't had a chance to use them. So I decided to try out my coloring skills and for that I needed a white background. The image I have used is by Meredith Dillman and it's called Jade (plate #137). If you love her images you'll be happy to know that they are all on sale until October 2:nd!

I made these little table setting cards because it was a perfect way to make the image stand out. You could use a different image for every person to make it more special. Maybe for an asian themed party or wedding? I punched out flowers in see through paper and made a little embellishment to make the card a bit more special. The names can be written on the card itself or on the little flower in a circle. I really like the combo of the airy white and at the same time bold colors. Gives it a more modern and funky look.

Christmas is Coming...

I have found that, for me, this year is just flying by!  I am very excited about October and Halloween, however, I realize that the Christmas Holiday is just right around the corner and I need to get some cards made!

Sweet Pea Stamps has some beautiful Christmas stamps from which to chose.  I used this one from the Holiday Plate #12.  It is embossed in red and then layered up.  An elegant holiday card made easy because of a beautiful stamp.

Get Inky!

Elisabeth Bell's Kiki with Dolly

I LOVE this sweet Little Stamp! I am so happy that Sweet Pea now carries Elizabeth Bell... how darling !

My precious Ava had a little outfit like this when she was little...and this stamp just reminded me of her at that age! And yes... she was SASSY! I tried to make the flowers look like strawberry blossoms... and all the dots... well, they just make me happy!

I colored this image with distress inks and the skin was copic markers.

Be sure to check out the NEW Elizabeth Bell stamps at Sweetpeastamps.com today!
