Elaine Cox's Bes

Shanna here with my last post with Sweet Pea Stamps for now. It is time for a new team to come forth and share their amazing creations with you. Hopefully I will be back again on the team sharing my love for Sweet Pea Stamps with you. So a sad but happy farwell to you Sweet Pea lovers out there... Of course I will still be around and still around on the Sweet Pea Stamps Facebook Fan Page.

Well for my last card I thought I would do something special. I love this image. She is by Elaine Cox and her name is Bess. She comes in digi form and rubber form.

I colored her with copics and added some liquid pearls around her and stickles on the flowers. 

Make sure you check out the new team starting this weekend!

Weekly Inspiration With Nataliya

 Happy Tuesday all!
It's my time for the weekly inspirational Post at Sweet Pea Stamps. one of my favorite Artist is Elaine Cox. This gorgeous image "Bess" you can find HERE as a rubber stamp or Digital image.

 For this card i used Rubber stamp, because i wanted to emboss image with copper embossing powder.  I stamped image on DP  and added Distressing ink to her hair and cheeks. Distress edges and inked, then i stapled lace to the top. Also added lovely swirls of gems.

I wish you all have a wonderful day.

Bess

 Good Day everyone. Long time sins i made an Easel card. I love stamps by Elaine Cox from Sweet Pea Stamps, and this one just gorgeous "Bess".  Lucky for you it can be in Rubber, or Digital image, so you don't have to wait for so long.

 I usually color with pencils, but this time i did with Distress inks

 Sentiment and Dies you can find HERE. I did some stitching all over on my card, my home made flowers, and finished card with a pretty Bow

Thanks for looking.
Hugs Nataliya

TREASURE BOX

2013 is fast becoming the Year of Water Colouring for me.  I used (Watercolouring Pencils) Supra Color Soft Pencils to colour this gorgeous image from Elaine Cox called BESS.  

BESS is also available as a plate of four rubber stamps - all of which are my all time favourite images from Elaine.  Stamps can be found here.

Originally I was going to make a box to house our telephone book and message pad but now I'm thinking maybe something a bit more girly!

Hope you like it, more information can be found here on my blog.

Best wishes,

Bess

I have always loved the image Plate #85 of fairy portraits drawn by Elaine Cox.  This is one of them and the image is called Bess.  I had such a wonderful time coloring her hair.  Once that was done, I realized that the majority of the image was colored!  I distressed the image and placed on a background paper from the Bazzill Miss Teagan Sue collection.

What are your favorite Sweet Pea Stamp images?  Can you actually pick just one?

Get Inky!

Post it Holder

Hi everyone, today I want to show you a special project I made for the birthday of the sister from my boyfriend, where we was invited the last Saturday. She loves angels and fairies, just like I do. And I love to make those Post it Holder, they are really fun to do, and it is a great gift idea. 

I decided to use one of my favourite stamps; 'Bess' from the fabulous artist Elaine Cox. She is available as a single stamp, and together with three more amazing portraits on Plate # 85.

I coloured the image with Distress Inks and added some sparkling to her wings, lips and the flowers.

Above you can see a side-view, and below how the holder looks when it is closed.

And here you can see how I decorated the bottom side.

If you like to make such a Post it Holder as well, watch out my personal blog. I will upload a tutorial soon.

And watch out for the fantastic Sale as well! You have the chance to get the most beautiful stamps for an amazing price.

Have a magical day!

Hugs, Karina

Hi everyone, how are you doing? Fine I hope. Are you prepared for Christmas? I am so much in the mood to make Christmas cards. And I catched the bug to create Christmas cards with no typical Christmas images :o). It is soooo much fun. So this card I show you today is one of this kind as well. 

I used beautiful Bess from our fabulous artist Elaine Cox. And hey, know what? She is on SALE right now! She is available as a single stamp. And on Plate # 85 together with three other gorgeous images. You will love them. They are some of my favourites. 

The colouring is made with Distress Inks. And I tried something new here. I wanted to give it a crackle effect and covered the finished image with clear embossing powder three times. Put it in the fridge and when it was cold and strong I crackled it few times till I got this effect. Love its look. The lace I put around the image was original white. I sprayed some Antique Brass Glimmer Mist over it to give it a similar colour like the background paper from Basic Grey haves. 

Here you can see a closer look of the image

Wish you a magical week now. Thank you so much for looking. 

Hugs, Karina
