Vintage Heart

This week at Sweet Pea Stamps it's our Featured Artist Week and this month the DT are featuring the gorgeous artwork of one of the newest additions to the roster of Sweet Pea artists, Charity Dauenhauer. I chose to work with this beautiful stamp called Vintage Heart:
 
 
I love the mix of steampunk, fantasy and romance in this image - just perfect for a Valentine's card, actually. ;) I coloured the image with a mixture of Promarkers and Prismacolor pencils and carefully cut around it.
 
 
I decorated my card with papers in warm tones (and continuing the heart/romance theme ;D) and textured gold mirri card. I added some delicate vintage lace and layered the image over it using foam tape.
 
 
I love the warm glow that this textured mirri card gives when the light hits it.
 
 
This stamp is available in red rubber or digi format from the Sweet Pea Stamps store.

Use a Digi

Time for a new challenge at One Stitch at a Time and this week it's "Use a Digi". To enter the challenge you need to use a digi element somewhere on your creation - that could be a digi stamp, digi papers, even a computer-generated sentiment.
 
For my card I used this fabulously cute and sassy "Anna Mae Party Bunny Girl" digi stamp by Scrapper's Delight.
 
 
Isn't she fab? I love her cute and manga style. I coloured her with my Promarkers and gave her some quirky pink hair. :)
 
 
I seem to be on a bit of a pink and blue craze in my cards lately and this one is no exception. I used some pretty patterned papers and a die-cut frame (cut from sparkly pink card) and embossed a panel of card to fit inside the frame.
 
 
I finished things off with some little dots of Perlen Pen.
 
 
You don't need to use a Stitchy Bear product to enter the OSAAT challenges but if you do you'll be in with a chance of winning our main prize. Entries not using a Stitchy Bear product will be entered into the draw to win a $3 gift voucher for the Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet.

A Rose By Any Other Name...

This week is Variations Week at Sweet Pea Stamps, where all the Design Team create projects using the same stamp. I always love Variations Week as it's so amazing to see how people can take the same image and create such amazingly different projects using it. :)
 
The image we're using this week is a new stamp from Concetta Kilmer called Rose:
 
 
I went for a soft pastels colour scheme for my card and decided to colour the image using my Prismacolor pencils, for a nice soft effect:
 
 
I die-cut the image out using a decorative oval die and decorated my card with pretty floral papers. I layered on a doily and a punched border strip before attaching my image using foam tape.
 
 
To finish things off I added detail around the edges of the image and in the corners of the card using a pink Perlen Pen.
 
 
This gorgeous stamp is available in red rubber or digi format from the Sweet Pea Stamps store. And don't forget to check the Sweet Pea Stamps blog each day this week for more great projects designed using this stamp.

With Love

Valentine's Day will soon be upon us and the challenge theme at One Stitch at a Time this week is naturally all about love... :) To enter our challenge, make a project using the theme "With Love" - you can interpret that however you like.
 
For my card this week I used this pretty digi stamp by My Heart Pieces called Beautiful Nature:
 
 
I coloured the image with my Promarkers and used a white gel pen to add highlights:
 
 
I cut the image out using my favourite decorative oval die and kept my card fairly simple with some patterned papers in toning colours and a length of decorative canvas ribbon.
 
 
You don't need to use a Stitchy Bear product to enter the OSAAT challenges but if you do you'll be in with a chance of winning our main prize. Entries not using a Stitchy Bear product will be entered into the draw to win a $3 gift voucher for the Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet.

Nothern Nightfall

For my Sweet Pea Stamps creation this week I am using an image from one of my all-time favourite Sweet Pea artists - Ching Chou Kuik. I just love her beautiful, stylised women and the fabulous detail in her drawings. Her work has a real sense of mystery, and often melancholy, to it.
 
This digi stamp is one I hadn't worked with before, called Northern Nightfall:
 
 
I coloured this image with my Promarkers in soft pastel colours. I just love the little unicorn in this image. :)
 
 
I mixed pale blue cardstock with pastel pink shabby chic-style paper for my card and added decoration with a length of lacy ribbon, some die-cut leafy flourishes and lots of pretty little flowers.
 
 
 
You can find this gorgeous image in red rubber or digi format in the Sweet Pea Stamps store.

For my card I've used this cute Boo Boo Bee digi stamp by Stitchy Stamps.
 
 
I coloured the image using my Promarkers:
 
 
And I kept my card fairly simple with some sparkly yellow paper and some honeycomb embossing on my cardstock panels.
