Featured Artist - Jane's view. Ching Chou-Kuik, Pink Peony

Sweet Pea Stamps

Today is my day to showcase an image from Sweet Pea Stamps for our Artist Week where the whole team are using images by Ching Chou-Kuik.  I have chosen to work with the image Pink Peony

I started off by colouring the image with Promarkers.  Once coloured I fuzzy cut the image, not an easy image to fussy cut with the strands of hair but I did not want any white paper on this card.

Promarkers used

I added Liquid Pearls to the fan and parts of the clothing.

Next I covered my card base with some gorgeous paper I bought about 4 years ago (as it is a favourite  I don't use it often <g>).  I recently bought a beautiful die - Joanna Sheen - Large Filigree Fan which I thought would be perfect for this card.  I cut the die 4 times to make the fan shape using the same cream card I used for my card blank.  Two ideas in my head, either cut the corner away as I have shown here or remove the whole section behind the fan.

After some thought I decided on my second thought and removed all the card blank area from behind the fan.

Onto the tag.  For this I used a Just Right stamp which I stamped in green and then used clear embossing powder.  This was cut out using a Spellbinder circle die.  Next I cut some of my beautiful paper in a slightly larger Spellbinder circle die and air brushed it with my Peony Rose Promarker. The final die used for the background is from Sizzix called For The Record 2

Finally I airbrushed some white organza flowers and also a piece of organza ribbon.

 Finally I assembled the card.  Inside view

A gift for Christmas

Hi again!
Merry Christmas to all of you ;)
Today I am sharing a Christmas gift I've made - usually I color those in Christmas colors, but I thought this should be a gift that should be used all year long. 
I've made an open teabag holder, using the gorgeous ching-chou kuik image named Pink Peony. I've also used a beautiful sentiment stamp from Sweet Pea Stamps, which you can find here on Plate #2
Here are some pics:

Pink Peony

Hello everyone, hope you're doing fine. When I created this card I was in a oriental mood, so I wanted to make a card with an asian touch. Sweet Pea Stamps haves the most beautiful images with this theme, one of it is this one from fabulous ching-chou kuik's called 'Pink Peony'. I decided to make her in green tones. She is available as a single stamp, and also comes together with three other amazing images on Plate # 162.

 I coloured this gorgeous image with Copics. The background papers are from BoBunny.

Have a magical day now!
Hugs, Karina

It felt like a ching chou kuiks day
