Variations Week: Sharon's View

Sorry just managed to get my post done in time.  Got carried away with spring cleaning - I know in November!  Just spent the last three days sorting the Kitchen and Living Room, moving everything around and revamping - poor man's decorating!!!  My back is killing me but I'm loving surveying my hard work and loving the new look!!  Have to admit I am quite an addict and would rather move things around than throw anything away!

This week is Variation Week at Sweetpea stamps and we have all been given ANNA MARIA'S MYSERY to work with.  For those wanting to purchase this stamps it's available here and can also be purchased as a plate of four stamps.

For more details check out my blog here.

Best wishes,

Today is my day to share this wonderful stamp from artist Anna Marine called Mystery (Plate #186).  This stamp is just stunning. I know by now you have seen many different looks from all the designers here at Sweet Pea.  Here's my take on this amazing stamp.

This woman is just stunning. I see her looking out and just remembering and hoping for something to return.  I added a wonderful fabric label to the bottom right corner. I am using some yummy gold embellished paper and colored the image with Copic Markers.  I just love all of Anna Marine's images.  She makes everything from pretty and haunting looking beauties to those stunning sexy ladies that make you want to create a card for the hubby.  Check out her images at the Sweet Pea store.

Cheers, Holley

I created this card using a beautiful stamp called "Mystery" by Anna Marine. I decided to go with a princess in a tower look. I dry embossed the top layer of paper, sanded it and inked it with Black soot distress ink before spraying it with Ethereal Emerald Moonshadow Mist by Lindy's Stamp Gang.

The windows are inked around the edges and have Liquid Glass on top to make them look more like stained glass. I added Stickles and various gems to accent. The window is from a Cricut cartridge  and layered three times to create the color variation.The flower was shaded and then I cut off the bottom to make it a better size for her to wear in her hair. I drew on a necklace chain and colored the pearl to match her dress.

  I used a small square stamp pad to make the stones in the wall, inked with Black Soot Distress Ink, and added a frame to make the inside view of the window. The other side has a Nestabilities frame painted with Expresso metallic paint under the image.

For my interpretation of Anna Marine's gorgeous Mystery image, I decided to go completely the other way from the stunning artwork it's based on, and instead of doing dark, gothic colours, I went with pretty pastels and light colours. Amazing how different this image can look depending on how you colour it - just goes to show how versatile it is! :)

I teamed her with muted pink and grey papers and added gemstone flourishes and pretty flowers (punched/die-cut from white card and coloured with Promarkers to tone with the image) to finish.

You can find this lovely stamp at the Sweet Pea Stamps store, in both red rubber and digi versions.

I love variations week.  It is wonderful to see all the different creations by the DT with the same image.  I love that everyone's style really shines through.  I also love being challenged to use a specific image.  Not that anything at Sweet Pea Stamps is a stretch for me to use, but it is nice to use one I might not have in the past.

I have paired Mystery by Anna Marine with some autumn colored paper from Bo Bunny and a fountain die cut.  I am quite pleased with the end result.  What would you create with this image?

Get Inky!

The dp is by 7gypsies "Avignon"

I have to confess those fibers from my

"spider webbing" but they pull

apart into some dreamy fluff just perfectly!

Variations Week: Karina's View

Hello everyone, we have variations week again. This time we all from the design team created with Anna Marine's fabulous image called 'Mystery'. It is available as a single stamp, as Digi, and on Plate # 186 together with three more beautiful images. I am so curious to see what everyone has created. I wanted to keep my card in black and red tones, so I also coloured the image in those colours. I did the colouring with Copics.

Here is a close up of the image...

Have a wonderful day!
Hugs, Karina

Anna Marine's Mystery

Having fun with my Stamps and Copics

Hi Everyone, today I have 3 cards to share with you.  This past weekend I watched movies with the kids and just got lost in coloring.  I did manage to make quite a few cards and here are 3 of them.

These first 2 cards I used stamps by our artist Anna Marine.  I don't know about you but I am In Love with her artwork and so afraid to color them that I would never be able to do them justice.  Well be afraid no more as you can get lost in your coloring and realistic of her images. 

For this one I used "Claudia" and she can be bought as a single or on Sheet #4,Plate #186.

  Here is close up of this beautiful image.  I really love her face and her puffy lips,not ot mention her corn rolls or Dread Locks, nto for sure what they are.

 For my second one I used another image by Anna Marine called "Mystery" and she can be found on the same plate, plate #186.

 I used some of my favorite papers from Glitz.  I love the green and black together.

For my last card I used and image by Joanne Schempp called "Erin Irish Mermaid" and she can be purchased as a single or on Sheet #10, Plate #178.

I used a mat stack from K&Company and all the embellishments is also from K&Company except for the flowers they are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Oh and I added Perfect Pearls to the pearls in her hair.

Don't look to close on her shoulder as I let some of the purple bleed into her skin.

So next time you have a lazy day of watching TV/Movies, get out your stamps and coloring mediums and have fun.

Remember this week we have all Meredith Dillmans stamps on sale.  Go HERE to check them out.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

Hugs:)
