Featured Artist Week with Aletha

Hi all! Aletha here with a Sweet Pea project using one of my favorite images from Conie Fong, “Tranquility.” I have chosen to use the digital image, but you can also purchase this beautiful illustration as a rubber stamp too. 

I loved coloring Tranquility with my Copics. After this was complete I did a fussy cut and mounted her on an oval die cut and again on an intricate oval die cut.

The background was completed with an embossing folder and some embossing ink and powder for that metallic look. I used a few other dies for the shells background. My tiny shells are from a sack of shells that I purchased a while back. I just had to have them at that time, and now I am glad that I did make that purchase.

Our One Sweet Challenge is still going on with the theme of “Hit the Beach.” I hope you join us. If you do, and you used a Sweet Pea image, head over to our Facebook’s Group art contest.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope that you stop by every day and check out what Sweet Pea’s Design Team and in store for you.

Tranquillity

Hi everyone, hope you are doing fine! Great to see you here! Today I have some inspiration for you I made with one of the fabulous images by the wonderful artist  Concetta Kilmer. I created a card with 'Tranquillity'. Isn't she such a beauty?

I inked her up with Copics and added some sparkling to her wings and some crackled paint onto the shell and the seahorses which is better to see on the closeup below.

She is available as a DIGI. I hope I was able to give you some inspiration and wish you a wonderful day.
Hugs, Karina

The Scrapbooking Queen ~ Tranquility

Hello Everyone!  The Scrapbooking Queen here with her very first post for 

the Sweet Pea Rubber Stamp design team.  The Queen is here to show

how amazing this card turned out using Conie Fong's image

Tranquility  which is available  in both rubber or digital.  

The Queen is using the digital image on her card for today's post.

This image is so beautiful I just love her hair how it flows and how easy she was

to color with my copic markers. Love all the details!

The Queen even used stickles to give the Koi Fish some added sparkle.

and embellished it with royal jewels in matching colors.  The band

is a Martha Stewart Punch and the card was inked around the edges.

Thank you for visiting us today and make sure you check out 

the Sweet Pea Store .

Tranquility

This week I've chosen to play with one of Concetta Kilmer's newest digi stamps - this lovely image called Tranquility:

I actually coloured this image a couple of weeks ago and decided to go with fresh colours of yellow and blue...

...then coincidentally I popped into my local craft shop this week and picked up this gorgeous new die (which I just *had* to play with straight away! :D) and these lovely flowers which were pretty much a perfect colour match for the colour scheme I'd used on the image! Perfect timing or what? :)

So I decided to carry through the colour scheme for the rest of the card and used turquoisey-blue and warm yellow cardstock and papers. I kept the design fairly simple, attaching the cut-out image with foam tape and adding ribbon, my die-cut frame and the flowers and a few gems to finish.

You can buy this image in either red rubber or digi format at the Sweet Pea Stamps store.

And don't forget the scrapbooking challenge stickied at the top of this blog - you've got until 6 May to enter! :)

larger oval shape.
