Brown Hat Spring Fairy

I created an ATC with more of a Fall feel and color scheme.  This image from Sweet Pea Stamps is the Brown Hat Spring Fairy by Elaine Cox.  It is one of the earlier releases and is part of a truly fabulous sheet and all four images have owls in them.  I trimmed the image quite a bit to fit the area I had created so you do get a bit more to work with for your creations.

Get Inky!

Fly me to the moon

Here's a stunning maiden from artist ching chou kuik of Sweet Pea Stamps from Plate #101. This gorgeous stamp is filled with love and come with several wonderful sayings. For this card though, I imagine her sitting on the moon and looking out across the world for her lost love. I added a wonderful but very simple sentiment "MISS YOU" from Plate #98.I wanted to do the coloring in monotone theme within the same red color family of copic markers so I chose R32, 34,37 and 39 for the outfit, the hair, the mermaid's scales, the tiny butterflies, and the hearts. I used an assortment of the red tones on each segment so that each would match and blend in with the adjacent parts. I added a simple sentiment "Miss You" to the card and lots of bling in assorted sizes to add a little pop.

Hope this card inspires you check out this set. One other thing that I love on plate #101 is the wonderful sentiments: "I love you. Not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you." "I am life a falling star who has finally found her her place next to another in a lovely constellation, where we will sparkle in the heavens forever-Amy Tan" and "Happy Valentines Day"

BONUS CARD I had a little extra time this week, so I wanted to share an extra card with you all, here's one of my favorites using a beautiful image from artist Elaine Cox called "Spring Owl Fairy". It's sold individually and on Plate #55. I wanted to also make this card in a wonderful monotone type theme except with blue as the highlighted color so I colored the maiden's dress in blue and then did the embellishments on the card in all different shades of blue. The adorable saying comes from Plate #40.

Have a lovely day! Holley

Blushing Violet Fairy

Hi everyone. Hope you all are doing fine. This card I show you today is made with one of the beautiful stamps of the Elaine Cox Art Collection Blushing Violet Fairy. You can find this image on plate # 40, together with three other sweet images. I love those images very much, they are so much fun to colour. As always I inked her up with Distress Inks on heavy 300 gram watercolor paper.

Other supplies are:

design paper by 7gypsies

Flowers by Prima and Wild Orchid

Puncher by Martha Steward

Swirl Die by Magnolia

Spellbinders

On this card I cut the little blue butterfly from a vellum sheet. I like them this way as they look so tender and lively. 

Thank you very much for looking. Wish everyone a wonderful day!

Owl love you in Fall

I love owls, no matter what the season. Walking every day now, I hear the owls hoot at night and occasionally get to see one up in a tree. As the leaves fall now I can see them more and more often. Makes me think of this wonderful stamp from artist Elaine Cox.This stamp and saying come on Plate #40. The owl stamp is called "Little Oak Tree Owl." I added some beautiful glittery fall leaves to the card to show the feeling of the season. I love the eyes of the owl in this image, so I selected the matching saying. What a perfect card to make for that special person in your life.

Have a great day!

You're a Hoot!

Hello! Hope you are all having a wonderful day! This card uses a wonderful stamp from Sweet Pea artist Elaine Cox called Blue Nocturne. I love the look of this stamp and if you have seen the original, you will see how different it looks here based on the colors chosen here.

I used dotted swiss paper from Bazzill, embossed line paper from AC, shiny ribbons from Michaels and large flowers. My coloring is done with Copic Markers. The saying comes off of Plate #40 from Elaine Cox as well. The buttons come from American Traditional and are mounted using glue dots.

Wishing you all a happy day!

Hey You Hoo!!

One of the sets of images that I have just loved from Artist Elaine Cox is the owls!! I am sharing cards I did with a couple of them here! These images are so adorable. I love their sweet faces and huge eyes. I must say I have been walking my neighborhood at nights (when I get a chance now) and the other night I actually saw an owl! A tiny owl!! Now, some of you probably think that's common to see or funny to be something I so remember, but I live in a large city and can't say I have ever seen owls in the city, so it was a real treat to see one. It makes me think of the one in this card.

For the above card I used Copic markers to color the image and Colorbox chalk edging on the card, American Traditional matching buttons and Bazzill papers. This stamp comes from Elaine Cox Sheet 3 (Plate 40) or it can be purchased individually as "Little Oak tree Owl".

This card also uses images from Elaine's Owls sheet and I have made the card a large 6" size and added a saying from ching chou kuik's Fantasy Art Collect Plate #33. The name of the owl stamp on this image is Owl Pals. I decorated the image with cute Prima flowers and mini sized buttons.

Hope you also love the Owls. Elaine Cox's collection also have several stamps that include wonderful stamps with girls and owls and other fun owl sayings. I hope to post some cards featuring these soon!

Have a great day! Hooty hoo owl lovers!

Who Loves You?

I was looking through the list of challenges online and just knew that I had the PERFECT image to work with for several of them. This is Little Oak Tree Owl designed by Elaine Cox for Sweet Pea Stamps. I love these little owls. They are just so sweet and tender looking. Just perfect to remind someone how very special they are to me.
After coloring the image I used Basic Grey Origins for the background paper. I used my Quikutz to punch some different leaf shapes and placed those at the corners with a button to top it all off.

Is it Halloween Yet??

I Have 2 cards to show you today. This 1st one I created with a Sweet Pea Stamps image by Elaine Cox (Sheet#3/Plate#40) and this is from her last release. And her name is Brown Hat Spring Fairy. As you can see her hat's not brown. I decided that this image wanted to be created into a halloween card. I love the way the purple and green turned out.. this card is so bright and vibrant (So pretty in person).
And I also decided to stay with the Halloween theme and I used this image from (Exotic Halloween) Sweet Pea Stamps by Ching Chou Kuiks (Sheet#11/Plate#38). It is so hard for me to put down these stamps as I just love coloring and creating with them!! They make me feel like an artist!! And anyone who knows me knows I can't draw!!! Not even a little!! So coloring these beautiful images is the closest I'll ever get to being an artist!!

In this picture you can see the Glossy Accents I added to the glow from the candle light.
