Kym's Weekly Post - Sunday 5/1/14

 On the 1 January 2014 it was the start of another month over at the One Sweet Challenge.
The topic this month is "black and white - grey is acceptable".
Here is my card I made to promote this challenge.

For my card I have used the Brigid Ashwood image called "Steam Bee" which is available as a rubber stamp.  I thought this card would "bee" a suitable for a man's card.  I have coloured the image in with various shades of dark grey Promarkers.  Around the image I stamped with a little dotty peg stamp and a white Versamagic ink.  Then once that was dry I inked around the image with Tim Holtz's Pumice Stone and Black Soot distress inks.

The backing papers are from my Perfect Papercrafting Companions CD and I have used a black-and-white pinstripe and a black-and-white dotty paper.  I have finished the card off with some tartan ribbon, x-cut die-cut cogs, black brads (yes no matter how many pictures I took these brads are black) and a sentiment off the CD.

It would be lovely if you could enter the One Sweet Challenge.  You don't have to use a Sweet Pea Stamps image but we love to see them "bee-ing" used!!!
**********************************
Here is another card to show you.

 For my card I have used the Sweet Pea Stamps image by Ching-Chou Kuik called "Poinsettia Fairy".  She was one of my first Sweet Pea Stamps and she is still one of my favourites.  She is available as a digital stamp or as a single rubber stamp

 I have coloured the image in with my Graph'it pens.  The card has been finished off with some poinsettias, gems, washi tape and a sentiment from my Perfect Companions Christmas CD.

Poinsetta Fairy

Well, I finally got around to do a Christmas card.  This image is called Poinsetta fairy by Cing-Chou Kuik.  I love the pose of this adorable fairy.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.  

Stay safe in your travels.

Thanks for viewing, Viola

"One Sweet Challenge" December Challenge "A gift in itself",

So I thought... I make something for Christmas.

This is also for the new December Challenge

at:

One Sweet Challenge 

"Make a Card with gift or giftbox"

This is a small Easel Drawer Card.

( it's 8,5 by 8,5 cm)

I used the Ching-Chou Kuik's

"Poinsetta Fairy" rubber stamp

availble at:

Sweet Pea Rubber Stamps 

and also availble as a digi:

Sweet Pea Digi Stamps 

I colored this gorgeous Fairy with my distresspads.

I added some sparkles on her wings.

The papers are from Bo Bunny.

And the lace is from my own stash.

The 4 little candlelights are the little 

presents... "A bright light for the dark days...". 

The sentiment I made myself in Words.

 I wish you a Merry "Fairy" Christmas!

Poinsetta Fairy by Ching Chou Kuik

Shanna here and sharing this lovely fairy called Pointsetta Fairy by Ching Chou Kuik! I love her and how she turned out. She is so lovely and elegant and I think she captures the spirit of Christmas very well.

I kept this a simple card using Bo Bunny papers and coloring the image with copics. I also used some Melissa Frances pearls and some wonderful dimensional stickers that I got from my craft store. 

Hope your inspired to get your fairy and Christmas her out!

Storage box for rubber stamps

Yes, I have made a storage box for my rubber Sweet Pea stamps, but I have used a DIGI stamp in front! It is the beautiful Poinsetta Fairy from the artist Ching-Chou Kuik. I loooove Christmas and the stamp and papers gave me that Christmas feeling even though it is February now:-)

I have redecorated my craftroom and have another place than before to put my rubberstamps and I thought: "Why not make paperboxes that fits perfectly in the small rooms of the rack" so I did. 

Stamp-box in rack

Have a nice day!

Here's one of my new favourite images - poinsettia fairy from plate 60. It's such a wonderful image and a delight to colour. I love how happy she looks, like a kid on Christmas morning :)

I've been a little bit bored with my promarkers lately so I coloured her with oil pencils and then smeared it out with some thinner and a stump (you know those pen looking things made out of paper that artists use for pastels) I used three different papers from different lines, but I thought they worked beautifully together. The right panel is made out of two of them, strips I cut and glued on.
I found a prima flower pack that I had won last year, but never got around using. The golden swirls on it matched my image perfectly, something I didn't realize until later.

I LOVE the red/green/gold colour scheme for Christmas cards. It looks so rich and gives them such a decadent feel. Like chocolate cake with chocolate sauce and truffles. YUM!

Poinsetta Fairy

Hi! I have another Christmas Card to show you today using a gorgeous image from ching-chou kuik's plate 60. This one is called Poinsettia Fairy. All four of the images on this sheet are stunning and I intend to make Christmas cards with all of them (although they can be purchased individually, too).


I almost always get my color palette from the paper I choose, and this was no exception. I colored the image with Copics and then added some sparkle with both Stickles and a Sakura Clear Stardust glitter pen. The background is one sheet of paper - I cut a slit in the paper that is covered up with the image panel and cut along the edge of the ornament so I could slide the image slightly underneath it. The sentiment is cut from another piece of paper in the same line, then I went over the letters with the glitter pen.


The Details:
Stamp: Poinsetta Fairy - chin-chou kuik (Plate 60) - Sweet Pea Stamps
Paper: Bo Bunny, Prism Purple, White for image (Copic XPress)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

3 cards to share today

Tonight I wanted to share with you another Sweet Pea Stamps Christmas card. I used one of ching chou kuiks Christmas images called "Poinsettia Fairy" sheet #21/ Plate #60 and you can get her as a single or as a sheet with 3 other gorgeous Christmas images at Sweet Pea Stamps.

I colored the background with Twinkling H20's and the image with copics. I can't believe how many Christmas cards I have made already this year.

Stamp: Poinsettia Fairy ching chou kuiks sheet #21/ Plate #60 at Sweet Pea Stamps

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper: MS Christmas DP from last year, image was stamped on Mohawk white CS

Accessories: Prima flowers and leaves, gold bling for flower centers, background of image was colored with copics then I painted it with Twinkling H20's. I also added some sparkle with a Clear Sakura glitter pen and some green to the leaves, gold and green ribbon (the green ribbon was sent to me from my blogging friend Sarah)

Here is "Zam" by Brigid Ashwoods. I love her Manga inspired Phunky Pharies. They have the cutest little faces. I had a blast coloring this image and feel so blessed to be a part of this wonderful DT.

You will have to forgive my pic's as it was dark when I took this pics and the colors are so bright they would had turned out better if I could had taken them outside with natural light. I wish you could see it in person.

Here he is with a totally different look.

Don't you love this card?? I created this card for my 16 year old Daughter who is crazy about Adam Lambert!! I think this image looks just like Adam except for the wings and longer hair. I used one of Sweet Pea Stamps new images by Brigid Ashwood and his name is "Zam" from her Phunky Phairies. He also reminds me of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and Edward Scissorhands. So this image would be perfect for a Tim Burton Film challenge(TBD).

After I took these pics and edited them I noticed one of the tear drop embellishments has fallen off so I will have to add another one before I give it to her, but I was not about to take more Pics.

Poinsetta Fairy...

My card today is my first Christmas card of the year!!!! When I saw the new designs that ching chou kuik's was designing for Sweet Pea I could hardly wait to get my hands on them.  This vision is called Poinsetta Fairy.  You can get her at Sweet Pea Stamps and can be bought as a single stamp or with three other luscious beauties.

I colored her with my copics and after seeing what the artist did I figured why mess with perfection so for this first card I colored her in the same colors as she did.  I think she has the most exquisite face.  She reminds me of my Granddaughters Barbie doll.  I added some stickles to the flowers and leaves and then covered her wings with transparent glitter. I also added some crystal stickles to the ribbon and the large poinsettia flower.  The leaves for the flower were made with green ribbon and the lattice was punched with a MS double loop punch. My signature background was done with chalks. Thanks for letting me share with you today!
