Elaine Cox's Bes

Shanna here with my last post with Sweet Pea Stamps for now. It is time for a new team to come forth and share their amazing creations with you. Hopefully I will be back again on the team sharing my love for Sweet Pea Stamps with you. So a sad but happy farwell to you Sweet Pea lovers out there... Of course I will still be around and still around on the Sweet Pea Stamps Facebook Fan Page.

Well for my last card I thought I would do something special. I love this image. She is by Elaine Cox and her name is Bess. She comes in digi form and rubber form.

I colored her with copics and added some liquid pearls around her and stickles on the flowers. 

Make sure you check out the new team starting this weekend!

Dreams of Iris

Good Morning. Are you al ready for this weekend? Well this weekend I am going to kick it off with an image from Ching Chou Kuik. Her name is Dreams of Iris and she is available in digi or rubber. 

I colored her with copics and paired her with some fun Basic Grey papers. I also added some liquid pearls, a fun Prima flower, and some leaf trim I have had stashed for a while. 

Birds of Paradise

Hey everyone. Shanna here to share something bright and colorful to share. It is a new card that I made using Ching Chou Kuik's image Birds of Paradise that you can get in digi or rubber.

I couldn't resist using these Prima papers that have just been sitting in my Prima bin and I thought they went perfectly with the image as she was already colored with no actual papers in mind!

Where We Met

OMG I cannot believe I forgot to set this post up :( So sorry it has been so crazy trying to get everything ready for the holidays by myself! I shared this this past friday on my blog and I am so sorry I forgot to post it here!

So today I am sharing a card using Ching Chou Kuik's image Where We Met. I love this as it reminds me of where I live. We have deer everywhere and the snowy scene is so pretty. Well we barely got snow this year but it is better than summer storms that didn't get the memo it was winter.

Here you can see a little glitter for snow. I also used some Creative Inspiration Paints on the antlers just for a smidge of shimmer. 

Thanks so much for stopping by for some inspiration!

Featured Artist Week: Brigid Ashwood by Shanna

Yay I am so excited this week is here. Artist of the week is still pretty new and I love seeing what each of the designers pick for their choice of images. Variations week is fun too sharing each designers talents for taking the same image and making into to something completely different.

So this week our Artist we will all be sharing is Brigid Ashwood. Her stamps are all available in rubber only. She has such a unique style especially with her steampunk creations. She also creates fun fairies. 

So for my image I chose Firefly! I love this image. Something so fun and challenging about it but I took on the fun of coloring her with my copics. Next time I need to try pencils once I get better are pencils. I think even watercoloring would be a perfect fit.

Thanks so much for stopping by Sweet Pea Stamps. Make sure you come back daily for more inspiration!
