It is my turn to show you some of my cards/creations using
Sweet Pea Stamps.
Here is a
card I have used using a Sweet Pea Stamps image by Concetta Kilmer. It is
called "Mr and Mrs Christmas Sweets" and is available as a digital stamp or a single rubber stamp.
I have
coloured the image in with my Promarkers, highlighted areas with my Sakura
Stardust clear pens, inked around the edges with Tim Holtz's Peeled Paint and
Pine Needles distress ink and decided that both owls needed googly eyes.
The backing papers I have given. I have used a square Marianne
Designs die and cut this out and inked with Peeled Paint and Pine Needles
distress ink. I have made two flowers using a patterned tissue paper and
dies and held the layers together with some large brads. I have finished
the card off with some Marianne Designs die-cut holly, the berries for the
holly I used a Sizzix die as I wanted to 3D the berries and a Craftwork Cards
die-cut sentiment.

My second
card uses an image by Joanne Schempp called "Guardian". It is an
available as a digital stamp, single rubber stamp and as part of a multi-image plate (Sheet 11, Plate 228 - Guardian comes on the
multi-image sheet with Excalibur, Kazimira and Wild Thing).
I have
coloured the image in with my Promarkers/Flexmarkers. I then inked around
the edge with Tim Holtz's Gathered
Twigs distress ink (thanks
to a fellow Design Team member Aletha using this distress ink I thought I'd
give it a go - I love it!!!). I then got a paint brush and wet around
just over two sides of the card and then put on a bronze/gold effect Perfect
Pearl powder to make it shine. The backing papers are from my beloved Tim
Holtz paper pad my son bought me some years ago - the papers are disappearing
at quite a fast rate now!!! I have finished the card off with my X-cut
distressing tool pulling out strands of my cheesecloth material, spotty organza
ribbon, Craftwork Cards die-cut sentiment, gems. feathers and some wooden
hearts I have distressed with Tim Holtz's Gathered Twigs distress ink.

My final card for
this week uses an image by Elaine Cox called "Midnight Rose".
This image is available as a digital stamp, single rubber stamp and as part of a multi-image plate (Sheet 17, Plate 106
- the image Midnight Rose comes on the multi-image plate with Stormy Moon,
Celestia and Mariana).
I have coloured the
image in with my Promarkers/Flexmarkers and added some sparkle with my clear Wink of Stella
pen.
The backing papers are from my Perfect Papercrafting
Companions CD-Rom from Creative Crafting World and I have gone
for a dusky pink and arctic blue colour scheme.
I have finished the
card off with some raffia ribbon, gathered lace underneath the image, flowers
die-cut from felt, pearl brads, Craftwork Cards die-cut sentiment and some flat
back pearls.
