Customer Submission Week

begins Sunday - forward your Sweet Pea creations to jennifer.

Tilla

This is the lovely Tilla.  She is a creation of Terra Bidlespacher for Sweet Pea Stamps and is part of Plate #209.  I colored her without selecting background papers or having any plan first.  That is not how I normally do things so I am quite happy it worked out.  These papers from the Basic Grey PB&J collect happened to go perfectly!

Get Inky!

Stunning Stamps from Anna Marine

Here's a couple of creations to share today from Sweet Pea artist Anna Marine.  The first one is a stunning image called Gates to Eternity.  This angel image is totally amazing!  She is sold by herself or on plate #207 with several other great images. 

This image from Plate #141 and is called L.O.V.E. All I can say is WOW, isn't that what you wanna give your love?  She's decked out in a black nightie with skin toned tights on.  That would make every hubbie go "Oooo la la!"  I added some wonderful heart fringe on the sides of the card and some bling.  I used a wonderful Sweet Pea stamps saying "Have a Magical Day"

Here's a closeup of the image as I colored it.  Can you imagine if you put this card in your husband's lunchbox (i.e. brief case, ....) and then had that outfit later on? 

This artist has some wonderful images, both some very pretty and elegant style and some very sexy and romantic style.  Check them all out.  And while at the Sweet Pea store, check out the current sale.

Cheers, Holley

Other:
Dominoes (Unknown)

Black Mat Board 8 x 9.75" (Unknown)
Heat Gun (Marvy)
2 Soda Can Pull Tops or Table Top Stand (Unknown)

Directions:

1. Position six dominoes, blank side up, into a rectangular shape on a flat surface.
2. Stamp the image with StazOn on the domino surface (centered) and allow to dry.
3. Heat set image with heat gun.

4. Color the image with pencils using the blue on the flowers, wings and bubbles.
5. Using the purple pencil, color over the blue areas lightly allowing both colors to mix.
6. Color the leaves green.
7. Position the scrap mat board on a flat surface.
8. Begin adhering the dominoes, starting with the middle piece, to the scrap mat board with the Omni Stick by placing a few drops on the back of each.

9. Allow the adhesive to dry.
10. Working with the foam tape, create a strip about 3" long, layering and adhering six additional strips to it, repeat three more times. (This will add dimension to the frame.)
11. Attach foam tape to the back of the black mat board at a diagonal.
 
12. Once the matted dominoes have dried, adhere the mat, centering the domino art in the window.
13. To create a sturdy backing for hanging, cut a piece of foam board slightly smaller than the mat (about 7.75 x 9.5"). 

14. Cut a piece of heavy card stock the same dimensions of the foam board and adhere to one side. (This will create a finished look to the back of the wall hanging.)
15. Adhere the bare side of the foam board to the back of the wall hanging and allow the piece to dry.
16. If desired, attach to pull tops from aluminum cans to the back of the wall art for hangers, otherwise a small table top stand can be used for displaying.

Connie-Fans & Lily

Don't you just love these beautiful ladies by

Karen Middleton?

This one is called "Pink Lily" and

you can find her over at

Sweet Pea Stamps

I thought she needed no more 

than my handmade fan and a few flowers.

What do you think?

Enough or not enough??

Corner die is by Memory Box and papers by 

Anchor Paper.

Stardust Stickles on her wings for glitz and a tiny gem to dot

the "i" in the rub on phrase.  I set a tiny fan I made from some scraps

of lace, sprayed with starch to stiffen and hold the pleats

over the corner diecut.

Below is a closeup view of my tiny fan:

Despair

Hi everyone. It's Angela and today I am back with another card using one of Rebecca Sinz's images.

The  name of this image is "Despair" and you can purchase her as a single or on

  Sheet #7, Plate #205 

with 3 other gorgeous images.

I really love this image, well all the images on this sheet by Rebecca Sinz are just as gorgeous as this one.

Here is a the image up close and colored with copics my favorite coloring medium. 

I will try my hardest to list the colors I used at the end of this post.  I can't remember all of the colors I used in the background as I used a ton of different colors until I achieved the look I wanted.  And when I do that I always forget to write down my colors I used.

The leafy die is from Sizzix. I added some Wild Orchid Crafts Roses, The black bigger corner die in the right corner is from Sizzix and the smaller green one is by Quickut.  I also added some BIG WIDE black lace behind the image and all some decorative Sprigs I found at Hobby Lobby in the Wedding Department.

Here is a list of the copics I used..

Skin: YR0000,YR000 and YR00

Hair: C00,C1,C4,C6,C8 

Wings-N0,N1,N2,N3,N5,N7,C1,W1,W3 and W00

Dress: YG99,YG97,YG95,YG93 and G20

Ground: W00,W1,W3,W5,W7 and W9

Here are some the the colors I know I used on the background and the rest I just can't remember.

C1,C2,N1,N2,W1,W3,G000,G0000,BG0000,BG10

Sorry I couldn't remember the rest.

I hope you have a wonderful day and thanks so much for stopping by today.

Hugs:)

Angela
