Featured Artist Week with Lina

With Conies images it's always hard to choose. So many beautiful ones. But my favorite of hers is Sally & Snowball. It's just so incredibly cute and full of emotion. And I love making it into a Warm Winter Greetings card or, as in this instance, a Christmas card. In June, yeah, I know. At least this way I got one done this year. I always seem to be behind with my Christmas cards.

As always I used Copics to color the pretty image. These are the ones I used:

Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11
Reds: R35, R46, R59, R89
Hair: E21, E35, E57, E49
Greens: YG61, YG63, YG67, G99
Yellow: Y21, Y23, Y26, Y28, E15
Fluff: W0, W1, W3
Snowball the Cat: W3, W5, W7

I had chosen my papers, which were leftovers from a collection I bought last year, before I chose which Copics to use. This way I could get it all to match somewhat nicely. It might be a little untradtional to have cherry blossoms and green roses on a Christmas cards, but it was the only ones I got, that matched. And I don't really think the recipient will mind terribly.

The pretty stamp, Sally and Snowball, is available at the Sweet Pea Stamp store as a digi and rubber stamp.
Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Precious card and Sally and Snowball card

I colored this sweet image, Precious by Conie Fong for Sweet Pea Stamps, the other night-just because so I thought I'd get her on a card!

You can find the digi of this sweetie~ HERE and the rubber stamp~ HERE!

I colored the image with copics and then went sparkle crazy with a stardust pen in her hair (the photos don't show it very well) and stickles on her wings. I used a nestie die to cut her out and then paired her with papers from Echo Park's Country Drive. A few rhinestones finish the card off.

Also sharing a card using the super sweet Sally and Snowball by Conie Fong from Sweet Pea Stamps. You can find the digi~ HERE and the rubber stamp~ HERE!

I colored the adorable image with copics and then added some Cotton Candy Sparkly Fluff to all the trim on her boots/clothes. I paired her with some papers from Basic Grey's Eskimo Kiss and then added a snowflake and some pearls. I also outlined the shape of the nestabilities die with a marker while the paper was still in it~~ love the effect of that. 

Hope your day is fabulous!

I am getting ready for Christmas!!! Hope you are too. I have recently finished a swap using a large match box. ...and now I just love match boxes.Sweet Pea stamps are of course my favorite images and so put the two togeather and I have endless creations to make.
I love all the beautiful and charming images at http://sweetpeastamps.com..it was a hard decision..but Christmas is coming so...I thought of Sally and Snowball by Conie Fong.I could just image the adorable image from http://sweetpeastamps on the box.
I colored with watercolors and prisma pencils. The miniature pine cones were perfect.  too perfect to add.:) and a couple of snow flakes. I hope you like my matchbox decorated by the beautiful image Sally and Snowball by Connie Fong.
Have fun creating.

Sally and Snowball

Hello everyone, hope you are doing fine. We have hot summer temperatures here in Switzerland, so I was totally in the mood to create a winter-like card. Just to cool down a bit just in mind... :o). I used a sweet  image from Conie Fong; 'Sally and Snowball', as being a cat lover one of my all time favorite image. She is just great to color up what I did with Copics. Sweet Sally and Snowball is available as rubber stamp and as digital image, too.

Below you can see a close up of the image. The papers I used are from Echo Park.

Thank you so much for looking! Have a wonderful day now!
Hugs, Karina

SHARON'S TURN

Today is my Youngest Brother's Wedding but due to ill health I'm not able to make it.  To stop me dwelling on what I am missing I have tried to immerse myself in making this card for Sweet Pea.  I have one image almost finished but decided to make a card from scratch so I stamped out a couple of images I fancied working with.  This was one of them and the one I decided to use first.

This stamp is from the Artist Conie Fong and is called SALLY AND SNOWBALL and is available here.  

This time I chose the papers before colouring - tones of Purple.  After colouring I couldn't decide whether to use glitter or some other bits and pieces to enhance the fur on the little girl's clothes.  Mica won the battle over glitter but in my eagerness I managed to flatten the effect but hopefully it still works!

More details can be found on my blog here.

Best wishes,
