Holley Presents Kitty Queen by Zoimar Lezama

Here's a great image from Sweet Pea stamps artist Zoimar Lezama called Kitty Queen. I created this stair step card which you can see below standing and on the following image how it folds to fit into a  A2 sized envelope.

 

Each step on this card has a great sentiment from Cosmo Cricket.  "Dear Thoughts, be happy" "Dear Job, let's get together." "Dear Self, I know you can do this."  I also added some cute buttons in oranges to match the shimmery cardstock from Paper Temptress.

I hope you adore this cutie!  She's a fun image for all those teen or tween aged girls in your life.  Be sure and check out all of Zoimar Lezama's images at the Sweet Pea store.

Cheers, Holley

Holley presents Gothic Dark Moon by artist Ching Chou Kiuk

 

Here's a stunning Sweet Pea stamps image from artist Ching Chou Kiuk called Gothic Dark Moon.  I have colored this image completely different from the artist's original, by coloring it at a time before sunset instead of using a dark night coloring as the artist did.  Click here to see the artist's original coloring to get an idea of how versatile this image really is.

 

Here's a close up of this image, I just love the bats on this image and chose some gorgeous paper to go with the bat theme. In addition to bats I also used some great spider web die cuts and spider theme corners and embellishments.

I hope this card is giving you some Halloween card inspiration. I can't wait to see your creations for Halloween. Drop by the Sweet Pea Stamps Friends and Fans page on facebook and share your Sweet Pea creations with us.

Holley presents Feeling Fabulous by artist Conie Fong

Here's one of the cutest images from Sweet Pea stamps artist Conie Fong. She's called Feeling Fabulous.  Well she's also looking fabulous in this color combination of orange, pink and blues.  I am so in love with this gorgeous image.  I added a fun vellum sentiment that also is printed in oranges and pinks and it says "Know that you YOURSELF are a miracle."  How true is that? most esp for me, as now I am five and half year post brain surgery(ies) and still seizure free.

Here's a close up of this adorable stamp that is currently available in digi and rubber stamp format.

 

Be sure and check out all of Conie's great images.  She has adorable girls like this, cute animals like penguins and teddy bears and the prettiest ladies.  Drop by our group on Facebook- Sweet pea stamps friends and fans and share your creations with us.  We have a constant contest going on and would love to see your creations!

Holley presents The East Wind's Lucy Loo Mad Hatter

Here's a stunning image from Sweet Pea Artist TheEastWind.  She has a wonderful stamp line using a character called Lucy Loo. Totally one of my favorites. This image is called Lucy Loo Mad Hatter.  It's currently available in both Rubber and Digi format.  Be sure to check out the links to the store as you will see how totally different the artist's original coloring on this image looks compared to my own.  How cool is it to see two totally different looks ont he same stamp.
