Featured Artist Week: Joanne Schempp - Card by Ali

This week we are focusing on the beautiful artwork of Joanne Schempp. I love her fabulous fantasy images and for my creation this week I chose to work with the Sisters digi stamp.

I just love this image of two mermaid sisters sitting together... it reminds me a little of my sister and I, one with curly hair and one with straight. :)

I colour the image using my Promarkers in pretty shades of pink and orange with some touches of blue for contrast. I cut it out using a decorative oval die before filling in the background with my Prismacolor pencils:

I also added some delicate "bubbles" to the background using a pearl-coloured Perlen Pen:

I layered the die-cut image over a die-cut scalloped oval with paper-pierced edging and teamed it with pretty blue paper which I had run through a cloud patterned embossing folder:

I layered pink dotty rubbon across the card before attaching the layered image using foam pads and finished things off with lots of pretty flowers and a few pearl gemstones:

You can find this and Joanne's other gorgeous stamps in both red rubber and digi format at the Sweet Pea Stamps store.

Delmonica and the Mermaid Sisters

 Here's a gorgeous digi-stamp from Sweet Pea artist Joanne Schempp called Delmonica.  She's just wonderful. My coloring is totally different from the original artist.  She's one of the stamps that is currently sold in digital format, so be sure to check her out.

Here's a close up of this beautiful image:

 

Here's another wonderful stamp from artist Joanne Schempp that is also only sold as a digital stamp currently, this image is called Sisters. What a stunning set of mermaids. I added a great saying with the word Sisters on it.

Be sure and drop by the Sweet Pea stamps site and check out the wonderful stamps, esp the Joanne Schempp digital images as there are some beautiful stamps there that only available right now as digi-stamps!  (click here).

Cheers and have a great weekend.
