Pearl Drop

Here's a stunning image from Sweet Pea artist Renee Biertempfel called Pearl Drop (Plate #159). I just fell in love with this stamp at first site! The works of this artist are gorgeous. This stamp was one that I absolutely had to get. It really fits this great nestabilities die cut that I have too. As you can see from this card, I first carefully trimmed the wings to ensure that the Spellbinders die would not cut them off when I did the die cutting.

I added a wonderful saying "Have a Magical Day" which I think goes perfectly with this card. I put some elegant lace that I just got while I was in Turkey. The markets there are just amazing. There's more ribbons, laces, and beads than you could ever imagine. Think of a stamp/bead show times ten. Walking street by street with nothing but shop after shop of crafts (mostly ribbons and laces, I was skipping the fabric district). Some of the more English speaking salesman were telling me there were factories you could see too....but would have to of course have an escort for that. It's amazing. As soon as I got home I was full of great ideas.
I can't wait to share all of them with you. So have a magical day everyone!

HEY GUYS-- I just realized that TODAY is my 1 yr 6 month anniversary celebration from one of my best days ever--amazing brain surgeries that saved my life. In celebration I have decided to give away a Sweet Pea stamp! Drop by my blog and leave a comment, winner will be announced on Sunday. Leave your comment on the Pearl Drop card on my personal blog (click HERE)

I was playing with plate #153 by Renee Biertempfel and was captivated 

by this image which is titled "Pearl Drop."

You can find the entire plate by clicking

She looked so retro and then when my hands closed around the 

designer paper I suddenly knew how I wanted to feature her.

Do you think it might be those nylons?

Supplies:

Sweet Pea Stamps plate 153

Copic markers

sponge

Color Box pigment ink pad "Dune"

papers-unknown

Copic white ink

pearls-Basic Grey

hand-tied ribbon

I sponged the white ink around the image to

set it off a little and popped the frame up a bit.

Hope you like my work a little and Sweet Pea Stamps a lot!

Pearl Drop by Renee Biertempfel

I just love all the images from Renee Biertempfel available through Sweet Pea Stamps.

This beauty is called Pearl Drop.

For this card I wanted to keep it uncluttered to keep the focus on this gorgeous image. I am normally a girl who doesn't leave much untouched space, so this was really difficult to do.  But I do love the end result.

Renee Biertempfel's Pearl Drop can be purchased on her own, or on Sheet #2, Plate #153 with three other stunning images.

Hugs Renee
