Featured Artist Week: Brigid Ashwood by Kym

It is "Artist of the Week" time over at Sweet Pea Stamps.  This is when an artist is showcased on the Sweet Pea Stamps Blog for a week by members of the Design Team.  The "Artist of the Week" for October 2013 is the ever so talented Brigid Ashwood.

Brigid Ashwood's images are available only as rubber stamps at Sweet Pea Stamps.  For my card I have used the image called "Darja".  I have coloured the image in with my Promarkers/Flexmarkers.  I have inked around the image with my Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet and Tumbled Glass distress inks and added some pearl dots.  

For my card I have used a new CD called "Perfect Papercrafting Companions" by Creative Crafting World.  I have used a plain pink/spotty pink and a plain blue/gingham blue to match the image.  I have finished the card off with some die-cuts, doily, raffia ribbon, Craftwork Cards die-cut sentiment and Card Candi.

Feeling Tired

How is everyone doing today?  I am running behind on everything this week and feeling a bit more tired than usual.  I have been going non stop for over a month now trying to get thing done in and around our house.

I do have a lot to share with you just some of these cards were made forever ago.

This first one I was trying to get her done last week for our Blog Hop but I ran out of time. I finally finished her this week.  

I used Caron Vinson's "Scorpio" (Sheet #1 Plate #77) and cut her out and added some foam square for some dimension.

I used some Basic Grey DP., I love the colors in this papers.  I added some sparkle to her wings with a Sakura Clear Gel Pen.

For this one I kept it simple to showcase the beautiful image. This image is by our artist Katerina Koukiotis called "Secret Garden"  and she can be found on Sheet #3, Plate #159.

For this one I used one the ching chou kuiks black and white art images and she can be found on sheet 14, plate #43.

I used one of  Brigid Ashwood's Phunky Phairies sheet 2 (plate 75) called "Darja".

For my last one I used "Diamond" from Meredith Dillman's sheet #6, Plate #137.

I wanted to make her with Mardi Gras colors.  I guess I am not afraid now to use primary colors any more.

Thanks for stopping by and there is still a sale for $2 each on a lot of stamps over at the Sweet Pea Store.

Go HERE to pick some up for yourself , oh and maybe a friend. You know Christmas will be here soon.
