Cherry Blossoms

Hi everyone and fellow Sweet Pea Stamps lovers. Today I want to share with you a card I made with one of the gorgeous images of Conie Fong, our featured artist this week. I chose this beautiful image 'Cherry Blossoms' of hers. I love its exotic touch. It is available as a single image, and on Plate # 185 together with three more amazing images as well.

I coloured her with Copics. The background papers are from Basic Grey. As I want to add more of blossoms around the image I made them with the Magnolia Doily Flowers Die. 


Here you can see a close up of the image. I added some dots to the blossom centers which gives them a more lively accent.


Adding a little butterfly is a perfect additional accent.


Check out the other fabulous images by Conie Fong. You will love them. As she is our featured artist her images are available to a discount prize.

Thank you so much for your always apprechiated visit here.
Have a magical week!
Hugs, Karina

CONIE FONG'S - BUTTERCUP

It's my turn Sharon to share some inspiration with you using the fabulous stamp by Conie Fong.  This one is called BUTTERCUP  and is available here.

Originally I chose some backing papers as inspiration for colours, starting with the deep reds then changed my mind and went for the blue.  Hence I couldn't make up my mind which one to go with so I have done two samples based on the same backing paper.


This is the warm version bringing out the red tones and now the cooler tones picking out the blue's.


For more details check out my blog

Best wishes,  Sharon

Daisy


Today I have a card to share with you using this sweet "Daisy" image from Conie Fong.
I love her cute little pig-tales in her hair.


I used some Prima papers, Fiskars emboss border punch, Quickuts corner die, spellbinder label die, rhinestones, Wild Orchid roses, Prima leaves and the sentiment is from Sweet Pea Stamps.


 Can you believe I even pulled out my sewing machine and sewed on my card.  I don't do it too often as I don't have a place to keep it out so I forget about it.
If you don't have any of Conie's images yet you have to go check them out.  All her images are a must have to your Sweet Pea Stamp collection and they are all on sale this week  HERE.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

Hugs:)

Precious

Conie Fong is the spotlight artist of the week at Sweet Pea Stamps.  It was super fun to use her design image Precious.  Isn't she the cutest ever?


I loved adding the touch of shimmer to her wings.  It was fun to think of a fairy child and them having a teddy bear of their own too.

Don't forget that one the side bar of the blog you can see examples from the DT of the specific images, artist designs, or plates you would like.  Just select the one you are looking for and it will sort for them automatically.  You can even select a specific design team member if you like their style to see all of their samples.  It really is a great way to get a lot of wonderful ideas for an image.

Get Inky!
