Jane presents Christmas Bird by Elaine Cox

Morning folks :) today I am sharing a Christmas card with you using the lovely image Christmas Bird by Elaine Cox available from Sweet Pea Stamps in both rubber and as a digi.

To begin with I coloured the image with Polychromos crayons and Promarkers.

I next fussy cut the image and mounted it on a Tattered Lace Doily Flourish die.  Next I created my mounts both using the pale blue background card and then blue patterned paper.  The snowflakes were cut using Impression Obsession Snowflakes which I then sprayed with silver varnish from Crafters Companion. Next I made the sentiment using an Xcut die from the tags set, a peel off sentiment sticker and die cut holly leaves using the die Memory Box Small Holly Leaves.  A satin ribbon blue bow was added for a bit of contrast.

 The inside of the card was finished off with snowflakes cut using the paper I used on each of the layer mounts.

Ingredients:-

• Image - Christmas Bird by Elaine Cox
• Colouring medium - Polychromos crayons and Promarkers
• Dies - Tattered Lace Doily Flourish die, XCut Tags, Impression Obsession Snowflakes and Memory Box Small Holly Leaves
• From my stash -  ribbon, Stickles, peel off sentiment

Featured artist Elaine Cox, Little Seahorses Mermaid

 Don't you just love Sweet Pea artist Elaine Cox?  She makes some beautiful whimsical characters.  Here's a mermaid that I totally adore. This image is called Little Seahorses Mermaid. I added a simple sentiment from Cosmo Crickett "Embrace each day as it comes."  I wanted to do a monotone card in all greens to match up to her beautiful green tail.

Here's a close up of this image, which is also sold in digital format.

Elaine Cox also has some totally stunning lady images, as well as some adorable teddy bears, cute owls, and a whole assortment of Alice in Wonderland themed stamps.

Cheers, Holley

Featured Artist Week: Jane's View

Sweet Pea Stamps

Today is my day to showcase an image from Sweet Pea Stamps for our Artist Week where the whole team are using images by Elaine Cox.  I have chosen to work with the image Maggie.

Just for a change I have made a note pad holder instead of a card <g>.

To begin with I coloured the gorgeous image Maggie with my trusty friends - Promarkers

 Promarkers used

While back in the UK this time I treated myself to some new crafty items and on of them was the Spray and Sparkle from Crafters Companion.  I thought the gold spray may just come in handy (at the back of my mind was fairy wings <g>).  This is the first time I have used this and WOW I am mega impressed, not very glittery, just enough for a wee sparkle but it is also a varnish and the effect is even better than I thought it would be.

For a bit more bling I coloured some clear gemstones with my Holly Promarker, these were added to the centres of the flowers.

To hold the paper pad I have made a small tray box using the same card as I used for the project.  To finish off I trimmed the lower outside edges with some blue lace and added the ribbon loop to hold the pencil.

Oh I do love decorating my IKEA pencils hahahaha, here I have coloured the pencil with  a Promarker and then added a string of pearls with gems.  A big bag of gems was another purchase I made and I just love nosing around in it to see all the different ones I found in a few shops.

 And here we have the finished note pad holder.

Ingredients

• Image -  Maggie by Elaine Cox
• Promarkers
• Dies - Tim Holtz Decorative Strip Die - Interlocking Ovals
• Backing paper - Pixels_And_Icecream  Flowerpower 
• Ribbon, lace and beads from my stash

Thank you for stopping by and hope you have a happy crafting day ahead :)

Kiara - Tera

Hallo,
  As you maybe can tell by now - I love to alter things - often journals - and today is another journal for you. This Journal is about 6 by 8 inches.
  I used 'Kiara' by Elaine Cox and colored her with koh-i-noor pencils.
  I layered her onto a couple different handmade papers - the bottom one has a great oceany look to it, and then added some seashells, a metal seashell charm, and some pearl drops with a viva décor pen.
  I added some ribbon to use as a spot marker.
  The journals are so easy to do - you should try one for yourself :)
  Take Care

A pirate and his lady - Tera

 Hallo,
   Tera here today with a fun project for you - a hanging plaque I did - Pirate style. Trick is - who is the pirate's LADY - the ship or the Mermaid :)
  I used 3  Sweet Pea Stamps/images on this plaque.
First the pirate is called 'Ancient One' by Joanne Schempp and I colored him with prismacolor pencils and then coated him with sepia effects from Ranger. Cut him and the next layer under him with Spellbinders dies and edged them in gold metallic pen.
  Next I stamped and embossed the ship - rubber stamp - with black embossing powder onto DP with an old map on it.
  The third image is 'Mermaid #2' by Elaine Cox. I had this old pendant in my 'old and broken jewelry' stash and colored a portion of this image to fit the pendant and glued it on with crystal lacquer and then added a beaded trim around the edge and some beads in her hair with a pearl viva décor pen.
   I used gel medium to attach all the layers to the wood plaque.
  All for today - Take Care
       Tera

Maggie

Hi Suzanne here to share a wonderful image by Elaine Cox. Her name is Maggie and she is available in rubber and digi format. You can purchase her here.

I have kept my design very simple as I didn't want to detract from the image.

Coloured with Copics, added a little Frantage, Kaisercraft pearls, Kaisercraft border punch. A little glitter pen and Spica pens too. Bazzill cardstock.

Thanks for looking.

Tera's Mermaid briefcase

Hallo,

   Tera here with another project for you. I altered a briefcase and added a couple Sweet Pea Stamps images - one for each side - mermaid style.

This first picture features a mermaid by Norna J. Burnell called 'Rayne' and the other side I used Elaine Cox's 'Kiara'. Bothe were colored with prismacolor pencils and layered to a couple Spellbinders dies.

I covered the briefcase front and back with some pretty oceany looking paper and then added the image layers and lastly added some shells, charms and some beads too.

 I had such fun with this one - the idea had been brewing for a long time (I have a large stash of used briefcases that I have plans for :)

All for me today - Have a great day!!!!
