Little Curls stamp by Elisabeth Bell.

Holley's Variation

Happy Friday everyone, it's me, Holley here to show you my card for this month's variation week.  I really enjoy this week because it gives so many great ideas on how to use the same stamp with different styles, different coloring, and different techniques.  It's a real insight into all the different things you can do with a single stamp.  This month the group is using a wonderful image from artist Elisabeth Bell called Little Curls.

I did a very simple layout here using a wonderful monotone technique of all greens with the coloring of the little girl using Copic Markers BG11-BG18 and tan pants E30-E31.  She's so adorable.  Those cute bling are very nice fairly flat stickers from Sticko, they give some great shimmer and are still flat enough that they are easy to mail.  The cardstock is a wonderful shimmery green color.

 

Be sure and drop by the Sweet Pea store  and check out all the other Elisabeth Bell stamps, aren't they all so cute?  I know I can't get enough of them.

 

Cheers, Holley

Variations Week: Karina's View

Hello everoyne, we have Variations Week again... yay!! I love to see what the team is creating with the same image. This time we played with sweet 'Little Curls' from Elisabeth Bell. And I tried out something totally different this time; I stamped and colored on Linen. Really have to get more exercise in this, as the colors react so different on fabric. This was my first try, but I quite like how it turned out. Love the linen structure. As I wanted to keep the focus on the image I didn't add more embellishments than the die cutted and distressed key and some sweet little buttons.

On the close up below you can see the structure of the fabric much better...

Now I am curious to read what you think about it.
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs, Karina

Variations Week: Ali's View

For Variations Week the Design Team are all playing with this adorable Little Curls stamp by Elisabeth Bell.

I love this image. It's so sweet and it's just lovely to colour. I used my Prismacolor pencils:

I went with a kraft card blank for my creation and ended up keeping things quite simple as I felt it worked really well with the image. I went with a shabby chic kind of style with some splats and dribbes of Distress Stains on the card front with a doily and a delicate die-cut frame layered over it.

I fussy-cut out the image and attached it with foam tape and finished things off with some pretty flowers.

You can buy this image in red rubber format from the Sweet Pea Stamps store.

I had so much fun playing with this adorable image

by Elisabeth Bell titled

"Little Curls"

You can find her over at

Sweet Pea Stamps

but only in rubber at this time, no digi sorry.

I colored her with Copics and Distress markers and

masked her off to airbrush the background.

I cut her on a SB circle die and matted over an 

embossed (folder by Darice) background.

Add some sheer ribbon by Reasonable Ribbon and diecut

some pretty paper flowers 

(die by Simon Says Stamp) that were cut

from pretty papers by Echo Park.

Added a sheer flower by Offray and

thought that was enough.

I wanted this pretty girl to shine on her own!

I really enjoy seeing what everyone does with the

same stamp and hope all of you

are planning to upload your creations as well.

Thanks for stopping by.

Variations Week: Randi's view

Hello!

This week we are playing with the gorgeous stamp named Little Curls by the amazing artist Elisabeth Bell. 
I just love this little cutie! 
I've been coloring up my rubber stamp with Distress Ink refills, and since Spring has sprung here in Northern Norway too, I wanted to play with "springy" papers and colors. The card is for a little girl, but I haven't yet decided who, so I haven't yet mounted the name to it. Here are some pics:

The finished card

Cute Little Curls, huh!?! 

Some details

More details. Love those acrylic flowers and that orange pebble :)

Little Curls

Hi everyone! Today I want to show you a card I made with one of my fave images from the sweet Elisabeth Bell Designs Collection. It is called 'Little Curls'. Isn't she just too cute how she is sitting there and waiting for... hmm... for what do you think? I guess she is waiting for her little kitty coming to her and lie down on her legs... :o) Any other ideas?

This time I made a gate fold card. It is opening in the middle. The twine I put through some eyelets holds it together. The papers I used for my card is My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Breeze. The sentiment is from Sweet Pea Stamps as well.

I coloured her with Distress Inks.

Here's the inside of the card...

Have a wonderful day!

Hugs, Karina

Elisabeth Bell's Little Curls

Hi everyone and dear Sweet Pea Stamps lovers! I am so glad to have Elisabeth Bell as our new artist, she is our featured artist this week. One of my favourite image of her is 'Little Curls'. Isn't she soooo sweet. I love her and she is so wonderful to work with.

I coloured her with Distress Inks on heavy 300 gram watercolour paper, stamped little flowers around the image. For the background I used papers by Bo Bunny 'Gabrielle'. The dies are Spellbinders and the flowers Wild Orchid. 

Thank you so much for looking. Just check all the other so cute images by Elizabeth Bell. 

Hugs, Karina

FEATURED ARTIST - ELISABETH BELL

In honour of our spotlight artist I have used 5 of the 6 stamps available at Sweetpea stamps.  The first two are from Elisabeth's first collection of rubber stamps - all available as single stamps. There are three to chose from - I've used two of them and have the third one on order.

The first one is called Kiki with Dolly and is just so cute. I just had to have this one! It's wonderful how stamps can invoke memories and this one makes me smile as my son loved the beach when he was small.

I have tried to create the feeling of summer holidays using a number of dies - such as Film strip and ticket dies as well as the flowers and flourishes.

And the finished card.

The next one is called Little Curls and has to be my most wanted stamp - having seen it as a pencil sketch. I was just so pleased when it was made into a rubber stamp and had to use it straight away!

I'm not sure why I found it so compelling - maybe it's the wonder of being young and full of wonder! Or my son wouldn't thank me for
saying he had the most wonderful curly hair
which he still has of course and had he been
a girl could have had his hair styled just like this!

And now the finished card. I hope you think I have done this fabulous stamp justice!

And these final three are from her latest collection available here at Sweetpea stamps.

This one is called Sweet is Summer and is available as a singel stamp.



Again what can I say about this beautiful image - another one I was waiting for!

I love this image and how versatile it is to use by just changing the colour scheme and you have a totally different looking project. I love the bright vibrant colours you get in the summer and appear on swimming costumes - probably the only time we wear such bright colours together!

My next card to share is Standing Pretty by Elisabeth Bell available here.

Another Cutie must have! Below is the finished card.

And the final one of this collection is Music Box.

I used the backing paper and paper pieced her dress then added a gold stickles glue. All details of how these are made are available on my blog site here.

All of these stamps are available as single stamps so if you've seen one you like why not pop over to the Sweetpea stamps on-line shop and check out the gorgeous stamps there!

Hope you have felt inspired and don't forget to check out the fabulous stamps at Sweetpea and all the wonderful talented artists there. Check back regularly here to see the DT inspiration.

Best wishes,    

Little Curls and You Tug at my Heartstrings

It was a great treat to have wonderful images from artist Elizabeth Bell! I have been such a big fan of her beautiful artwork. Here's one of the newest images at Sweet Pea called Little Curls. Isn't she a darling?This sweet image just makes me wanna hug someone! Be sure to check out the Elizabeth Bell images on the Sweet Pea website. They are all so adorable.


One more card this week, here's an awesome stamp from artist Terra Bidlespacher. I just love this artist's amazing works. This stamp is called Nadya (Plate #174). I colored her up in wonderful fall colors and gave her a great firey red hairdo. She's just a delight, I love her sassy look.I added some wonderful wire based ribbon with eyelets in it that I bought while visiting Turkey. To match I added some great matte style buttons and put a saying from Plate #102, "You tug at my heartstrings." I know this sweet image sure tugs at mine!

Have a great day everyone!


Holley
