Cards using Elaine Cox images and ching chou kuiks "The Moth"

How is everyone today??? I have 3 Sweet Pea cards to share with you today. For this first one I used and Elaine Cox image called Pirate Treasure Mermaid sheet # 5 /Plate#46 at Sweet Pea Stamps. The DP is a mat pad from me&my Big ideas called Journey. I added some Wild Orchid Crafts roses and Prima little roses. I also took some sea shell beads and and ran some wire through them to make a sea shell embellishment. The image was colored with copics, used some liquid pearls for the pearls and some glittery sakura pens and added some bling to the corners of the image.


I LOVE THE COLORS of this card and the image is gorgeous and alittle different for ching chou kuiks as it's a circle stamp(Love it)! The name of this image is The Moth and you can get her HERE at Sweet Pea Stamps. She is sold as a single image with a beautiful sentiment.

I hope you are like her as she is probably one of my favorites!! Doesn't she look 3D?? Oh what you can do with copics. No I didn't cut her out just using the darker colors around her gives that 3D look. Thank you for all your sweet comments!!
Supplies Used:

Stamp: THE MOTH/ ching chou kuiks at Sweet Pea Stamps

Paper: DP is Dancing Jewel by KAISERCRAFT( I love this DP), olive/sage green CS, the plum was colored with ink pads to match

Accessories: Fiskars circle punch, spellbinders pendant die, BIG corner die are cut with a Sizzix die, the small corner dies are from cuttlebug.

lace, and the butterfly border is from K&Company

Glitter glue and Doddle Bug glitter

For this card I used another Elaine Cox image called Playing with Stars also on the same sheet/plate.

I wanted to make her skin light so I colored her with E50 and E51. Her skin is a little darker in person, but I took the pic outside and the sun was so bright.

The DP is from a DCWV Fall Stack. The sentiment is from a ching chou kuiks Sweet Pea Stamps set. I used my new Martha Stewart border and corner punch (I am still trying to figure out what size to cut my paper to make it come out right) . I added some Wild Orchid Crafts roses and some Fiskars tear drop looking embellishments in purple (but in this pic they look black).

Elegant mystical wishes

Here is another card from me using my newest loot - stamps from Elaine Cox. This time I used pirate treasure mermaid from Sheet 5, Plate 46 and a text from the same sheet. I used the same sketch as for the bottom card. You can make so different cards using one sketch as I'm sure you know if you've ever played along in any sketch challenges.

I wanted to keep the image tone-in-tone with the papers and chose blues and aquas to match. The only thing that stands out is the text that I embossed with a blue ink pad and some glittery embossing powder. An elegant card that I think would suit the man in your life.

Pirate's Treasure Mermaid

This adorable image is by Elaine Cox and called Pirate's Treasure Mermaid. It is part of Plate #46 which has nothing but fabulous images on it. I think the kitty cat with the eye patch on this one is just the CUTEST thing EVER! It makes me giggle. I couldn't help but make the fish look like the goldfish crackers, the temptation was too great. Treasure for the mermaid and treasure for the kitty cat- gold all around!
