Kym's Weekly Post - Sunday 23/2/14

 Yes I know what you are going to say in that Christmas has been and gone but I decided to start making Christmas cards throughout the year more this year.  The Sweet Pea Stamps image by Charity Dauenhauer that I have used is called "Silent Night".  It is available as a digital stamp.

I have coloured the image in with my Graph'it pens.  I used a circle die and cut a circle out of a sticky note, stuck it behind the fairy and the wolf and then used my blue Pan Pastel to colour in the background.  I find this so much easier than using a distress ink as I haven't got very strong hands.

I do like traditional red and green for Christmas so I have kept to this colour scheme.  I have tried to keep the card as flat as possible as well as I doubt they'll be a change in the cost of postage in 2014 for the better so it's "pancake Christmas cards" again!!!  I have used some backing papers that I got off a friend for Christmas.  I have finished the card off with a tissue paper flower, pearls, ribbon, holly die-cut, glitter scrolls and a sentiment that came in the paper/decoupage paper pack.

 Here is another Christmas card I have made using a Sweet Pea Stamps image by Ching-Chou Kuik called "Where we met".  I know it's not technically a Christmas image but I thought it would be perfect.  It's available as a digital stamp.  

I have coloured the image in with Promarkers.  I have used a selection of small snowflake stamps and Tim Holtz's Victorian Velvet and Spun Sugar distress inks to stamp snowflakes around the image.  The backing papers I was given.  I have finished the card off with a sentiment from my Perfect Companions Christmas CD, die-cut snowflakes, pearls and die-cut deer.

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!

 It is Sunday and therefore time to show you some of my Sweet Pea Stamps creations.

Here is a Christmas card I have made using a Sweet Pea Stamps image by Ching-Chou Kuik called "Where we met".  I know it's not technically a Christmas image but I thought it would be perfect.  It's available as a digital stamp.

I have coloured the image in with Promarkers.  I have used a selection of small snowflake stamps and Tim Holtz's Victorian Velvet, Fired Brick and Aged Mahogany distress inks to stamp snowflakes around the image.  The backing papers I was given.  I have finished the card off with some washi tape, sentiment from my Perfect Companions Christmas CD, poinsettias, glitter scroll and die-cut deer.

Here is a card I have made using a Sweet Pea Stamps image by Teresa Sherman called "Marina".  For my card I have used the digital image but she is also available as a rubber stamp.  I have coloured my image in with my Promarkers/Flexmarkers and highlighted areas with a gold gel pen and a white gel pen.

The backing papers I have used are Bearly Mine Designs Gingham, Simply Dots and Plain and Simple.  I have torn the blue backing paper with a wave tearing ruler and inked the edges with a chalk ink pad.  I have used a Marianne Designs die - LR0245 - which is called "Christmas Leaves" and die-cut out of green card and then inked through with Tim Holtz's Tumbled Glass and Broken China distress inks as I thought this looked liked seaweed.  I have finished the card off with some orange netting, ribbon, gems, buttons and a die-cut sentiment.

For this card I have used the Sweet Pea Stamps image by Rebecca Sinz called "Rose". It is available in a digital stamp and also in a rubber stamp. I have coloured the image in with my Promarkers and added Frantage around the edge and some purple Stickles glitter glue.

The backing papers I have used are Bearly Mine Designs Plain and Simple and Rose's Dream. I have mounted the image on a Marianne Designs die-cut. I have finished card off with some raffia ribbon, gingham ribbon, flower display, another two Marianne Designs die-cuts, Craftwork Cards die-cut sentiment and some paper roses.
