Jane presents Fairy Tea Party by Helena Reis

Morning folks, hope you are having a good day :) :)

Today I am sharing an easel card using the image Fairy Tea Party by Helena Reis.
A bit of experimenting going on and a true effort in trying to create a card in keeping with the image. Not sure if I succeeded or not but I did have lots of fun and several cups of tea to rejuvenate the brain cell hahaha.

To begin with, after having coloured the image I then printed an enlarged copy of the digi.  This I then laid on a piece of purple card and traced over the outside edge to make just the tea cup for my easel card.  The image was then coloured with Pan Pastels and cut out.  Then I was stuck, do I add texture, do I add orange dots or what?  With no decision being reached I ended up leaving the cup just coloured in the purples to match the base colour I had coloured the digi image.

Next I printed my sentiment and decided on what die cuts to use and from there it was a case of assembling the sections.  Saying as I am in Saudi I also decided to add an Arabic Yellow Label tea bag for a bit of fun to the inside of the card and create the holding mechanism so the easel card stands correctly lol.

Ingredients:-
Image - Fairy Tea Party by Helena Reis
Colouring Mediums - Spectrum Noir Blendable Crayons and Pan Pastels
Dies - Spellbinders Scalloped and regular Circles,  Tattered Lace Rose Corner, and the background circle die but I can't remember it's name.
From my stash - Stickles, button, brads

Hello Sweet Pea's,

Don't be afraid to dream

Here's a great image from Sweet Pea artist Helena Reis called Mushroom Fairy II. I created an adorable shaker box card using this sweet image. I added a wooden embellishment with the word "dream" and the sentiment "Don't be afraid to dream a little bigger."  I used a Spellbinders die cut around the shaker box and a similar border punch on the bottom as well as matching red/white polka dot themed items all over the card.

 

Here's a copy of the image before putting her in the shaker box.  I just thought she looked so dreamy that Dream was the perfect topic.  She's also available as a digi stamp.

I hope you loved this card today. Be sure and drop by the Sweet Pea Stamps Friends and Fans board on Facebook to join in our Awesome contests, check out all the latest creations and share your creations with us!

 

Cheers, Holley

Follow Your Heart III- Helena Reis...

 Hi Sweet Pea's,

Today I want to show you this gorgeouss girl Follow Your Heart III by Helena Reis....

She is so perfect for Valentine's day or for a young ladies birthday.

So first I have to show you my early morning colouring. I coloured her with Stylefile markers as they have the prettiest red markers. And The skin is enhanced with pencils.

So then I created this card with her, as I love digital I created a digital card with her. There are many awesome digital kits out there that you don't have to go broke on as some really are free or really cheap. It is good to shop around before you buy at the first shop you find in google ;) I used for this card several items from different designers and different kits. Then you use a photo editing program to put it all together and you have to get familiar with it as you want it to look really 3d and to get that you need to start using shades and depth functions in your editing program. There are good free lessons out there to about this so use Google as it is your best friend if you need to find info ;) LOL

Hope you enjoyed my card.

hugs Ria

Meet Lilura

Here's an awesome stamp for fall time from Sweet pea artist Helena Reis, called Lilura.  I added a perfect sentiment from Thoreau, "I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than to be crowded on a velvet cushion."  Isn't this stamp just gorgeous. I colored her in copic markers using browns and blues with a gorgeous collection of metallic embossed papers and laser die cuts.

Here's a close up of this stunning image, currently available in rubber stamp as well as digi stamp format.

 Hallo,
    I really had fun with this image - although I may have gone a bit wild with the pearl drop pen I really like how she turned out!!!
   I used 'Purple Gaze' by Helena Reis and colored her with copics. I edged the main image with a silver metallic pen and layered her to DP that I distressed a bit and some pretty gray ribbon.
  I really like how her wings turned out too :) she is fun to color and I have a few more ideas in store for her!!!
   Take Care

Featured Artist Helena Reis card by Holley

Meet Sybille.  She's an awesome image created by Sweet Pea artist Helena Reis.  I am totally loving this witch/fairy. I love that she flies her broom with her cat too. I added some lovely spider web die cuts with spider charms hanging down from black bows.  I put two simple sentiments on the card to go with her.  Isn't she just perfect?  I think this witch could be used on all sorts of cards, not just Halloween.

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 Helena Reis,  I have chosen to work with the image Moonlight Whispers.

I started by colouring the image with Promarkers. Then used a Spellbinder circle die to cut it out.

Promarkers used and my trusty gold pen

 Next I sorted my papers.  For the background I used starry night vellum and while in the draw getting that out I came across some pinky purple plastic with holographic squares.  When the light catches this it looks like there are stars lit up.  Having totally forgotten about this plastic paper I was over the moon as it was just perfect.  To add some texture I embossed one corner of the plastic with a Tattered Lace embossing folder.  For the border and the doily I used the same starry night vellum that was used for the background.  A digital sentiment was printed and cut.  I ended up not using the sentiment as this was one card that did not follow my planning.  Originally I had a song printed in mauve to fill a circle on acetate which I was going to overlay over the digi.  Alas I did not like the result, it seemed like a good idea when I thought of it but did not work out as I had hoped.  The sentiment was perfect for the song but on it's own a little cryptic so I changed to a hand stamped Happy Birthday sentiment instead.

 Here is a close up of the plastic paper which I have embossed.  In the final photo where I have used a light box this paper has become very transparent and most of the navy blue backing is shining through.  Anyway, not to worry but in real life this is the true colour.

 My attempt at rubber stamping, something I keep dabbling in but am not very successful at, I am a digi person hahaha.

The border was cut with a Tim Holtz die and I added a wee gold star and a heart to the bottom of the sentiment layer.  The plastic paper was attached to the card with the same gold stars.

Inside of the card - using the same paper as the sentiment and a Scalloped Circles Spellbinder die I created an area for a personal message.  This was edged with a gold pen and some wee dots added.  There was a scrap of the starry night vellum left, not worth keeping so I decided to cut the doily again with it (well most of the doily, the paper scrap was not big enough for all of it <g>) and cut two good quarters for the diagonal corners.

 Finished card

Ingredients

• Image -  Helena Reis  Moonlight Whispers
• Promarkers
• Dies - Tim Holtz Decorative Strip Die, Spellbinders Circle and Scalloped Circle

Joy is . . . . .

Sweet Pea Stamps

Morning everybody, hope you are having a good day so far :)  Today is my day to showcase and image from Sweet Pea Stamps and I have chosen to use Helena Reis's - Joy is ...Dressed Up For Halloween. A while ago one of the websites that sells dies had a crazy, and I mean crazy sale with up to 70% off - now who could resist, not me.  One of the dies I got was to make rosettes by Tim Holtz, I knew it would come in handy as some point in the future.  Anyway, this project seemed perfect for the use of the die in my Halloween gifts.

To begin with I die cut some pumpkins in gold vinyl and put these in the centre of each rosette.  A wooden skewer was attached to the back and some sweets placed in wee bags and attached with ribbons.  Right that bit done :)  Once the rosettes were made using different brown and orange papers I set to work on everything else.

 Next I coloured the fab digi by Helena Reis

 Promarkers used.

Now for a bit of recycling, my empty Bisto gravy container hahahaha.  I covered this with some of the same paper used for a couple of the rosettes.  The top was finished off with some black lace and a die cut spider web added.

 There we go, a fun Halloween container with gifts.

Ingredients

• Image -  Helena Reis's - Joy is ...Dressed Up For Halloween
• Promarkers
• Dies - Tim Holtz Rosette, Spellbinders ovals and scalloped ovals, Scrapbooking Table for the web
• Covering paper, sweets, ribbon and lace from my stash

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