Variations Week: Kym's View

All of this week over at Sweet Pea Stamps it is "Variations Week" where a specific artist is picked and the whole Design Team using the same image/selection of images.

For November the image chosen for us to be used is by Regan Kubecek and is called “Thanksgiving Harvest”.  This image is available as a digital stamp and a single rubber stamp.

I have coloured the image in with my Promarkers and some Graph’it pens (as I haven’t got a mix of all colours get for Graph’it pens).  I used a chalk ink pad around the image. 

I’ve tried to take the photograph at an upwards angle to show that I have decoupaged the image up (it was the only way I could get it to show).  Decoupage was the first area I tried in cardmaking when I first started and I still like it and enjoy doing this technique with stamped images.  Yes I know it means colouring the edges of the bottom image as extra (because as the middle won’t show you don’t need to do that bit) but I think it is worth it.

I have then used a Tim Holtz leaf die and cut three different shaped leaves out of a book.  I then used Tim Holtz’s Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed and Crushed Olive distress inks and my Inkylicious brushes to colour the leaves.  The backing papers are from my stash.  I have finished the card off with an array of buttons and some twine.

Here are some other Sweet Pea Stamps cards/creations I have to share with you this week.

There are times when we need sympathy/thinking of you cards.  I personally like to keep these kind of cards very clean and simple as I want the image and words to do the talking and I don't think it's the right time for lots of embellishments.

For my card I have used the Sweet Pea Stamps image called "Despair".  She is available as a digital stamp, single rubber stamp and as a multi-image plate (Sheet #7, Plate 205 - this image Despair comes on the plate with Broken Halo, Hope and To Bid you Farewell).  

I have coloured the image in with my Promarkers/Flexmarkers and kept it to very neutral colours.  The backing paper I was given so don't know the source.  I have finished the card off with some ribbon, stamped sentiment, two flowers and pearls.

This is a card that I have made using a Sweet Pea Stamps image by Conie Fong.  It is called "Flowers on the Beach" and is available as a rubber stamp as well as a digital stamp.  

Isn't she a cutie?  I have coloured the image in with my Promarkers/Flexmarkers and highlighted areas with my white gel pen and Stickles glitter glue.  I have used a handmade cloud mask and used my blue Pan Pastel and fine tool to add some clouds.

The backing papers I have used are Bearly Mine Designs The Boys Zone and Bearly Mine Designs Just Plaids.   I have finished the card off with a sentiment off the computer, gold card candi, gingham ribbon and handmade shells (these have been made with a silicone mould, tissue paper and Pan Pastels).

Marlon Teunissen's Yellow Fae

Today's card features a new image from Marlon Teunissen titled Yellow Fae. This adorable image is currently available for pre-order at a fantastic price, through November 18.

It was colored with copics and the papers are some scraps I have in my massive stash. Thanks for stopping by!

Autumn Passion

Here's a gorgeous Sweet Pea Stamp from artist ching-chou kuik called Autumn Passion.  It's available as a rubber stamp (Plate #235) or as a digi-stamp.  I used some wonderful specialty paper from Heidi Grace as the base of the card and then added clear acetate embellishments from Little Yellow Bicycle as well as some gorgeous Cardstock stickers to go with it.  This image is totally stunning.

Check out all of the wonderful new images from ching-chou kuik.  She has the most beautiful maidens and the most stunning mermaids.  I am just loving all the new images in the store right now.

 

Cheers, Holley

Helena Reis's Joy Is... Dancing Like Nobody's Watching

Today I would like to share a sample of the fantastically whimsical image from Helena Reis.

To be honest, I did not pay attention to the title of the image before creating this card and thought how appropriate the sentiment would work with it. So yes, I was pretty amused to discover how on the mark my choice was.

It was colored with Copics, the papers are from Prima.

Thanks for stopping by!

Connie Fong's "Arrival if Spring"

This is Connie Fong's stamp called "the Arrival of Spring". The fairy is posed so beautifully and I loved the roses above her head.  I feather blended the wings with copic in Y04, B00 and R00.

The roses were RV00, RV02 and RV04.

Here is a close up of the image

Have a creatively wonderful day

Pumpkin Pixie and Autumn Tenderness

I can't believe it's November! Where did October go? I still have tons of Halloween/Autumn stamps and I haven't used them yet! LOL!! so I'm going to pretend it's not past Halloween! 

I had fun with this Sweet Pea Stamps image by ching-chou kuik~ Pumpkin Pixie. You can find this image in rubber stamp form~ HERE and in digi form like I used today~ HERE! 

I colored the image with my copics and I also did the background with my prismacolor pencils with odorless mineral spirits to blend. For the sparkle I used some Smooch Glitz in Frost. My papers are some from my stash and then I just added a flower, leaves and some pearls to finish the card. 

Next up is this gorgeous digi called Autumn Tenderness by ching-chou kuik. You can find her in digi form~ HERE and in rubber form~ HERE and also on Sheet 52, Plate 247~ HERE!

I colored her with copics (for my reference, her hair used the following copics~ E30, E34, E44, E77) and prismacolor pencils with OMS. I then added touches of sparkle with Smooch Glitz in Goldrush and also with my stardust and copic glitter pens. The paper is from the Basic Grey Konnichiwa collection. A few pearls finish the card off.
