Dusty Rose and Forest Companion

Here's a striking image from Sweet Pea artist Joanne Schempp called Dusty Rose. I will confess that I was not hooked on this image when I first saw it, I got hooked by this image when I saw several other design team members make some amazing projects, check out their stunning creations to see my inspiration.

I had to choose my favorite colors, of course, which is a warm tone, reds and oranges, also as summer approaches, I tend to use more and more in that color family. I think she looks delightful in that color. Even though her coloring is very bright, I still kept a dusty rose color. I added a small vellum saying "All I need is your Love" which I think is very fitting for this card. Here's a close up of the stamp image. Isn't Joanne Schempp a wonderful artist? She has many brand new stamps available at the store right now.

I think springtime is perfect for showing faries with baby animals. This wonderful Sweet Pea stamp is called Forest Companion (Plate #110). I colored her up in greens for the season, but artist ching chou-kuik also did a stunning job on her coloring, so check it out on the website to see how differently it looks.

I am using some paper from WE R Memory Keepers and cardstock from Neenah and DCWV; A beautiful border punch from Martha Stewart; great ribbon from Prima; a die cut from Lifestyles and a lovely saying from Sweet Pea stamps;  I hope these cards make you want to stamp something beautiful, be it a love card or some springtime cheer.   Check out the wonderful new stamps from artists Terra Biddlespacher and Elisabeth Bell as well as your other favorite artists at the store now!
