Another Amazing Sweet Pea Offering

This is a stamp that Sweet Pea Stamps offers...here are the details:

Elaine Cox's sheet 14 (plate 84)

I just adore these stamps and I love all of the unique artists that are offered at SWEET PEA STAMPS. Elaine Cox's designs have caught my eye because they are so very detailed and I LOVE that !I also love to detail them more after I have colored them in. For this image, I colored her face and hair with copic markers,and the water was done with water color crayons. Then I used glitter and gel pens to accent the water and her tail. I also colored over her tail with Shimmerz and I added Crystal Effects to the water for some extra shine. For the pearls in her hair, I used my viva decor pen. I used Nesties in the background for the pink lattice circles and here is my creation. I  used some cuttle bug strips to emboss the top and bottom to make it look like bubbles. Here is my creation and I hope that you love this! Thanks for popping in!

Another Gorgeous Stamp!

This is another gorgeous stamp available from Sweet Pea Stamps. I have had a roaring headache for a few days but I wanted to post this gorgeous stamp and show the card that i made it into...

I colored it with my water color crayons. First I scribbled them onto paper and then I picked up the color with a water color brush to color my image. Then when that was done i added shimmerz to her hair and of course stickles and paper flowers and here is my creation! Thanks for popping in... time for some more aspirin...

Here is my take on the Sketch using the stamp set BIRDSONG...

This was a fun and easy sketch... keeping it simple, for me, is a challenge itself! I love the color combo and I used the Rock and Roll technique on the flowers to get purple and green on the flowers at the same time. Thanks for popping in!~

Bring on the Bling! With WOODWARE USA...

That is our Challenge for this week. Bling it up! I stamped and embossed the butterflies and then I painted them with Shimmerz! Good thing I am a fan and have like every color because I used alot of them! Then I used Log Cabin Smooch Spritz for the embossed square panel... and that is shimmery too! The flowers have glittery brads on them and I had to quit there otherwise... this card would have been totally crazy with glitter and bling!
