Tea Party!

Hello! As soon as I saw the Alice Sentiments I knew I wanted to play around with them to make background papers! For this card I first colored my main image Alice Mad Tea Party from Elaine Cox's Alice Series (sheet 2, plate 35). I then rubbed inks that matched the main colors in my image on a sheet of white cardstock. I randomly stamped the sentiments in Versamark ink, embossed in clear, then rubbed black ink all over. I really like the way the random colors appear, although I do wish I had spread the words out a bit more....

The Details:
Stamps: Alice Sentiments (Plate 37), Elaine Cox Alice Mad Tea Party (sheet 2, Plate 35) both from Sweet Pea Stamps
Paper: Orchid Opulence (SU) Whisper White (SU), White for image (Paper Trey Ink)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Basic Black (SU), Misc Dew Drops Versamagic colors (sorry I forgot to write them down as I was working)
Copics:
Skin:R00,E00,E11,R20
Alice Hair: E50,E53,E55
Clothes:B91,B93,B95
Hatter Hair: YR00,YR04,YR07,YR09
Clothes: V15,V06,V09

Have a magical day!

Kitsune Fox Fairy - Plate #34

Hi everyone!

I don't know about you but do you have problems deciding which of these awesome stamps to ink up and color first? I know I do, all of the Sweet Pea Stamps are just awesome and so much fun to color. This time I grabbed Elaine Cox Kitsune Fox Fairy stamp from Plate #34.

My card size is rather large; 5 x 7 inches. I found a bargain of Neenah Solar White envelopes for 5x7 cards. I just have to get into the mind set of creating the cards at that size :-).

I've had this DSP paper pack from One Heart, One Mind called Wallstreet and really love simple, elegant design and thought that it would go well with this image. Since my card is relatively simple, it came together rather quickly. Image is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Super Smooth card stock and then colored with Copics.

I've been itching to try watercolors but it's a lot more convenient to use Copics since I keep all my copics in a carry tote which allows me to take them with me. I thought I'd share some photos of how & where I generally tend to color:

This tote fits all my copics plus has side pockets for scissors, etc. It also has carrying handles which allows me to take it with me. When I sit on the couch to color, I use this little child stool which elevates the tote to the perfect height for me. I don't have to bend over and reach to grab the markers.

Here is a picture of the lap pad I use. I love it because it has the paper clip on one end. An extra self healing cutting mat is always on the lap pad which allows me to trim images while watching TV. :-)

Since my craft room is not anywhere close to the family room, this allows me to still spend time with the hubby, watch TV and color all at the same time. :-)

NOTE: I purchased the tote at Walmart in the craft department :-)

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to share your Sweet Pea Stamps creations with us!
