Suzi presents Angel Melody by Karen Middleton

Good Morning Sweet Peas, It is my pleasure to be here as this months Guest Designer.  My project today features the beautiful Angel Melody image by Karen Middleton.

This is such a beautiful serene magical image that I wanted to try and convey the serenity and magic of it through my colouring process.  So I went for a very soft colour palette and added lots of glitter. Here is a close up of this beautiful angel;

Thank You so much for letting me share my creation with you all, 

Have a wonderful day

Sweet Pea Stamps

Guest Designer January 2015 - Kym Upshaw

I was delighted to be offered a Guest Designer role for Sweet Pea Stamps for January 2015.

There are far too many gorgeous images to choose from but in the end I ended up choosing an image from Enys Guerrero called "Minerva" which is available as a digital stamp.

I have wanted to make one of these 4 drawer easel cards for a long time now.  The image to me cried out for colourtones of grey, black and white and a steampunk feel.

 I have coloured the image in with my Graph'it pens and fussy cut around the image.

 I have used lots and lots of different dies to create the effect I wanted.  As it is something to go on my craft desk I have added a calendar and post-it note holder.

 I have decorated the card inside and out along with all the drawers.

 The drawers are now holding brads, die-cut shapes and some sentiments printed off from a CD.

I am pleased how this has come out and will enjoy it sitting on my craft desk throughout 2015.

If you want to see the full details on how I made this 4 drawer easel card please pop on over to my blog.

Many thanks to Lynette and the Sweet Pea Stamps Design Team for having me.

To colour my image i used copic markers, watercolour markers, and used some chalk for the grass and the sky.

I aAdded gold micro beads to the flowers on the image.  I made my own beads embellishments, and left top corner flower.

Papers on my card is from Michael's store. I used blue and orange ribbons ( I don't know if you can see them), and added dabble bow, with pretty brad. And I love glitter, and added little bit of shimmer pen to daisy's hair.
