Artist of the week Joanne Schempp - Tera's view

 Hallo,
   I really love how this project turned out!!!  I have been playing with encaustic wax painting lately but some how my paper arts/rubber stamping addiction always has to get in on the action :)
  I first built up many layers of wax - painting first several clear layers and then alternating colored layers with clear to get the backround the way I wanted it.
  Next I used a transfer technique for the ship - made a large copy onto regular printer paper and rubbed it into the wax - then wetting the paper somewhat rubbed off the paper which leaves just the image in the wax.
  The pirate I had colored with prismacolor pencils onto Neenah 'desert storm' which is a smooth kraft cardstock and I layed him on top of a warm layer of wax and added several layers of wax ontop of him to hold him in place.
  Both images are by Joanne Schempp - 'The Black Pearl' and 'Ancient One' and are both available as rubber stamps and as digis' (and believe it or not I have both versions of both...)
  Lastly I added a couple oyster shells and a black pearl and gold sword make with clay (the sword with a mold)
  All for today - Take Care

Artist Week - Ancient One - Jane's view

Sweet Pea Stamps

Today is my day to showcase and image from Sweet Pea Stamps and I have chosen to work with the beautiful image Ancient One by Joanne Schempp which is available from the Sweet Pea Store in both rubber and digi.

I have not tried mixed media like this before so be gentle with me :) :) I am in awe of some of the mixed media projects I have seen on the web and just could not resist giving it a go.  To begin with I printed my image, well two as I was thinking about having another Joanne Schempp image of the sail ship in the background but had not totally made up my mind.  The idea soon flew out the window and I decided I did not need it.

 Next I raked out a whole load of dies and double cut them using stiff white card.  The dies I used were Tattered Lace Retro Alphabet, Memory Box Splash Border which I cut up into two sections and also used the spiral excess bits of the die and finally Marianne Designs Creatables Anchor.  I also added some Flower Soft and some bead and metal shells.

 I don't have many supplies for this sort of project as not much is available in Saudi Arabia, or a least I have not seen many products around but I do have some white acrylic paint so that is what I used to paint over the background ready for airbrushing with Promarkers later.  Next I coloured the image with just one colour of blue Promarker, trying to build up the colour but using several layers.

 Onto the background, I first masked my coloured image and set to with the airbrushing in two colours of blue, one was Bluebell but I can't remember what the other was lol - afraid I was having to much fun to remember to write down what I had used.

 Next I stippled some PVA glue in areas and then stippled with silver bronzing powder on top. I added lots of Pearl and Silver Liquid Pearls to the digi.

Not quite happy with the digi so using the darker of the two blues I used for the background I added a bit more depth to him.  Finally I added a silver ships wheel charm and three brads. A blast of Crafters Companion Silver Varnish and all done.  This decorated mat was then mounted on a silver mirror card mat, a navy corrugated mat and then a mauve mat. The group was them attached to my navy card blank.

For the inside of the card I used Spellbinders Labels 1 and a Spellbinder embossing folder.  A bit more of the silver bronzing powder and another anchor completed this section.

 And here we have it - a rather funky man card.  For a first attempt I am pretty pleased with myself and most of all I had amazing fun, getting covered in paint and glue I felt like a kid all over again, such a fun day :) :) :)

Ingredients:-

• Image - Ancient One by Joanne Schempp
• Colouring Medium - Promarkes, acrylic paint
• Dies - Tattered Lace Retro Alphabet, Memory Box Splash Border, Marianne Designs Creatables Anchor and Spellbinders Labels 1
• Embossing Folder - Spellbinders Seashells
• From my Stash - Silver Bronzing Powder, Liquid Pearls, shells, metal shells, ship wheel charm and brads

Thank you for stopping by today and hope you have a happy crafting time ahead of you :) xx

Daisy Fairy, Jane's view

Sweet Pea Stamps

Today is my day to showcase and image from Sweet Pea Stamps and I have chosen to work with the beautiful image Daisy Fairy by Joanne Schempp which is available from the Sweet Pea Store in digi format.

To begin with I designed and cut my card sections.

 Next I coloured the image with Promarkers.

For the matting behind the digi which I cut on my die cutter I added lace.  Only the edges of the mount were coloured to match the digi as the rest of the area will be hidden - no point in wasting precious ink lol.

I printed the sentiment and mounted in on a Spellbinder Scalloped Oval which I coloured the edges of in the same way as the other scalloped mount.

 I then assembled all the sections of the easel card, adding pearl strands behind the image mount too.  It was then onto the bottom section.  I finished this off with some daisy vellum and a Spellbinder die Nestabilities-labels-20 for the writing area.  The sentiment was used to hold the top section in place when standing.  The daisies were made using Sizzix Mini Daisies and were finished off with yellow Flower Soft and some more pearl stems.

 And here we have the finished card :)

Ingredients:-

• Image - Daisy Fairy  by Joanne Schempp
• Colouring Medium - Promarkers
• Dies - Spellbinders Scalloped Ovals and Nestabilities-labels-20, Sizzix Mini Daisies and the others by me
• From my Stash - Flower Soft, pearl strands, daisy vellum

Thank you for stopping by today and hope you have a happy crafting time ahead of you :) xx

Ho Ho Ho!

 Here's the kind of Christmas card to give that special man in your life. I made this one for my hubby using an awesome stamp from Sweet Pea artist Joanne Schempp , her name is Kristy.  Hmmmm, Kristy Kringle perhaps?  I colored her with copic markers and to make the image stand out, I did the background of the image all in warm grey tones.

This image is also available in digi format.

Hope this fun image inspires you to make a card for your loved one this holiday!

Cheers, Holley

The Apprentice

 Here's an adorable stamp that is perfect for Halloween time called The Apprentice.  This stamp is currently available in digi format. It's designed by artist Joanne Schempp.  I colored this image using Copic markers and used glazed Bazzill paper to make the card. I had borders with spiders on them, so I added a bunch of spider themed embellishments to round out the décor on the card.

 

Here's a close up of this adorable image from artist Joanne Schempp.

 

Hope this card inspires you to create something fun for Halloween.  If you do, drop by our facebook page and share it with us!  We'd love to see it, it's at Sweet Pea Stamps Friends and Fans.

Shhh Mommies Here by Joanne Schempp

Today I'd like to share with you a wee gift I've made for my Mum, using the adorable 'Shhh Mommies Here' by Joanne Schemmp.

My Mum loves to read, so I thought this Bookmark Tag would make a lovely wee gift for her. I love this image, you can feel that bond of unconditional love between Mother and Child when you look at it, just makes my heart melt.  You can find more details about my project over on my blog.

This is the first of Joanne Schemmp's images I've used, I know it won't be the last, as she had such a lovely variety of image available as both Rubber stamps and Digital Stamps in the Sweet Pea Stamps Store.

That's all from me for today
Bye for now

Alien, Jane's view

Hi folks, it is my turn again to showcase an image from the Sweet Pea Stamps store, this time I have chosen Joanne Schempp's Alien.  As I am using this card as a One Sweet Challenge example I followed the theme of this months challenge - Turn Up The Heat, how about popping over and joining in :) :)

To begin with I printed the image three time, one on card for colouring and the other two to used for masking while I airbrushed the background and red planet.

 Next I coloured the image with Promarkers.  I have deliberately left the ground very pale as I did not want this to represent cold which needed heating up from the red planet, one of the takes on the theme, the other take being 'Hot Stuff' as she is rather a hot woman hahaha.  To finish off the image I used clear embossing powder on the head piece and band accessories just to add a bit of texture.

 I do love lace on a card and although this is a card made for a bloke and lace is not really their thing I do think it provides the texture to the black base card and as most of it will be covered with the image and border I think any block will just accept it and not feel it is to girly :)

To finish the card I added black line sticker to edge the image.  For the border I used the Sizzix - Deco Floral Bead die.  The text was cut using the Tattered Lace - retro alphabet die.  A few black glitter self adhesive dots were added too.

Ingredients:-

• Digi -  Joanne Schempp's Alien
• Promarkers
• Dies - Sizzix - Deco Floral Bead die and Tattered Lace Retro Alphabet
• Lace, black line sticker and black self adhesive dots from my stash

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

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
