I hope you are enjoying the summer and playing with your sweetpea stamps. I still have a lot I've never used and this is one of them. It's by the very talented Meredith Dillman and is called blue fairy from plate 76. Isn't she gorgeous?

I've been in desperate need for a new address book the last couple of months. I have everything written in a simple notebook with no order and it's been driving me crazy having to flip through the whole thing to find what I need. So during my last flipping I got really annoyed and decided to make this book I've been planning for ages. You can use it for anything you might need to find fast: your kid's friends numbers, people on your Christmaslist or why not a page per month writing down how much you've exercised or your measurements.

I started by cutting out 6 pages in cardstock and 2 in patterned paper for the front and back. I used a qk die so the holes were already there for the brads, but it's easy to make yourself. You will need to score on each page to make it possible for it to open. I also cut out 6 qk tabs in the same cardstock. The pages and tabs are inked on the edges with distress ink to give a neater look. The image is coloured with promarkers and the background with distress inks. The fairy has some sparkle on her wings made by a sakura gelly roll. I also used one of the corners from Holiday (plate 12) to add some interest which I'm very happy with. I inked one corner in a purple distress ink and stamped on all 4 corners of the image. Finally I attached the tabs, image and brads. Finally I'll be able to find what I need quickly!

Brigid Ashwood-steampunk

I really love the steampunk images that are available from Sweet Pea Stamps. They provide such a different feel to a card, and are always so much fun to colour.

The cards I am showing today are from Brigid Ashwood's Sheet #3, Plate #104.

I wasn't sure how I was going to tackle this amazingly detailed image.  So I just started with the skin and hair and then it all just fell into place.

For this second image I really wanted to try my hand at a monochromatic colouring.  So I chose the Cool Greys and set to work.

  The image had a soft feel to it, so I tried to make the card a little more feminine.

It is amazing how to images from the same sheet of stamps can yield such different results.

Thank you so much for joining me today.

Hugs Renee

Dream of FairyTales

Hey everyone.  Today I have some older cards to share with you that I have had done of months and just keep forgetting to share them with you.  For this first card I used ching chou kuik's The Seahorse.  She is available on a single half sheet with a sentiment.

I used Moon Garden by ching chou kuiks and she can be purchased as a single or on sheet #32, Plate #124, with 3 other beautiful images.

For this one I used an image by Karen Middleton called Autumn Fairie.  She can be purchased as a single or on  sheet #4, Plate #115, with 3 other adorable images. The original artwork by Karen shows that she is a little girl, but when I looked at it I saw a little boy.  It was fun to color a little boy fairy for once.

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

Blue Peacock Dryad

Somehow it had to be a blue peacock, although white would have been pretty as well. I couldn't decide, so I made it blue. This amazing image is 'White Peacock Dryad' by the fabulous ching-chou kuik's Fantasy Art Collection. She comes as a single stamp, but is available on plate # 86 with three more fabulous images as well.

I coloured her with Distress Inks on heavy watercolour paper. As an accent I added some pearl glue on the feathers and on her tiara. As background paper i used Webster's page, which is like made for this image. As it is so rich with flowers and too beautiful to cover too much I only added a small punched stripe (Fiskars) in the middle and few flowers and a bow. The word I stamped by my own.

Thank you so much for looking. Always much appreciated. Wish you a magical day!
Hugs, Karina
