Sweet Saturday

Hello everyone.

This week on the Lime Tart blog it was my turn to do a step by step. 

I decided (after much deliberation), to make a CD Gift card. 

Fill the CD/DVD with photos or home movies and it is a perfect gift to send to those loved ones interstate. 

Here is the cover

The stamp is  Sweet Pea Stamps - ching-chou kuik's Dream of  Dahlia.
Those pretty papers are from the October Half Tart.

Here is what the inside looks like.

And finally a photo with the CD in the pocket.

If you want to make this at home, pop on over to the Lime Tart blog to get all the steps.

I hope you are having a great weekend.

Hi again.

I thought that while I had a spare five minutes I would share this card with you.

The stamp is Ching chou kuik's The Lost Princess from Sweet Pea Stamps.

I will be honest with you and say that I wasn't completely happy with how the card turned out, although I really do love the stamp.

Speaking of the stamp it can be purchased on its own or together with three other equally beautiful stamps on Ching chou kuik's sheet #34, Plate #129.

Thank you so much for joining me today.

Sweet Pea Sunday

Hi everyone.

I have a couple of Sweet Pea Stamps cards to share today, both using lovely ching chou kuik stamps.

I just love the way those beautiful faces are framed in these stamps.

Today is a gift.

Both of these images can be found on ching chou kuik's sheet #14, plate #43.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Sweet Pea Stamps - Daisy Fairy

My girls really love fairies right now.

Which I why I had to colour Joanne Schempp's Daisy Fairy from Sweet Pea Stamps.

I added some  extra foliage to the background rather than using a lot of patterned paper.  

My girls love this little fairy, I think I will have to colour another one for them.

Thank you for stopping by today

Sweet Elinora

Hi everyone.

I hope you have all had a fabulous weekend. 

We have been just enjoying some quiet family time....ahhhh enjoy these moments.

Today I have a card to share with you using yet another gorgeous Sweet Pea Stamp.

This beautiful little mermaid is Elaine Cox's Elinora.

She can be purchased on her own or along with three other images on Elaine Cox Sheet #19, Plate #164.

I really love how this little beauty turned out.

I hope you all have a fabulous day.

Sweet Pea Sunday

Time to share another Sweet Pea Stamps creation.

This card uses the stunning  Rachel Anderson's Amanita Muscaria.

I adore the frame around the image.  It gives it such an elegance.  

The background has been done with distress ink- tattered rose and walnut stain from memory.

The papers are scraps from my Lime Tart November Kit.  It was such a beautiful kit (they always are), that I just had to pull the last of the papers out again.

I hope you have had a wonderful weekend.

I will be back again soon.

Sweet Pea Steampunk

Good morning everyone.

I am typing this with very cold hands this morning..brrrrr.

Today I have a couple of Sweet Pea Stamps cards to share with you all.  

I went a little bit steampunk with this first card.

And then I went monochromatic with the Cool Grey's in this next card.

Both images can be found on Brigid Ashwood's sheet #3, plate #104.

There are always loads of new stamps and wonderful images to find in store, so be sure to check them out.

I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Love Life!

Hi everyone.

I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend. It was a nice morning here, but the temperature has dropped this afternoon. I thought I would do some sewing, but alas my machine does not want to play nice. So I have pulled out my markers and done some colouring instead.

How free and happy does this little girl look.

It is a Samantha Rawling's image from Sweet Pea Stamps.

I have masked the image and used distress ink for the background (weathered wood from memory).

This image has certainly brightened my day, I hope it does the same for you.

Thank you for joining me today.

Especially for you

I recently received another package of Sweet Pea Stamps. I love when these little envelopes of happy mail arrive, because I know I will be immediately inspired to colour something.  This was certainly the case with this gorgeous Karen Middleton image.

This image is on Sheet #11, Plate #138. It comes with another beautiful image that you will see soon :)

I think my new favourite colour combo is green and pink going off my last two cards.  I will have to mix it up next time lol.

Thanks for dropping by today.

More Elaine Cox Images

There is no denying that I love the Elaine Cox images from Sweet Pea Stamps! Here are another couple of cards I have made using images from Elaine Cox's Sheet #18, Plate #133.

This card uses Alassa...I love this image

Next up is Darya...not too sure about the hair

 These images can be purchased on a full sheet or individually. Either way they are a great addition to your Sweet Pea Stamps collection.

Thanks so much for joining me today

Mesmerizing Mirima

Hi everyone.

Thank you for dropping by my little space in blog land.  I come today with one of my latest Sweet Pea Stamps creations.

This gorgeous girl is an Elaine Cox image called Mirima.  It was something new for me to colour an image where the focus was just the face. So I went to my Lime Tart Copic Club folder for some tips and guidance. Her hair probably took the most time, but it is the part I love most about this image. I can't wait now to play with the rest of the images that came on this sheet.

Copics used:

Skin-E000, E00, E11

Eyes/Background-B000, B02, B05

Lips/Flower-R00, RV10, RV13

Hair-E31, E35, E37

Seahorse-Y02, Y08, Y15, YR04

Until next time
