Yet another Sweet Pea!

OK, I did a card yesterday for the Sweet Pea Stampers challenge and I mentioned I wasn't going to use pink but somehow that's how it turned out. Today I decided to do another one and this time used blue as the predominant colour. I put some of my blue silkies onto my craft mat and mixed a bit of water, I put this onto some paper and then used another blue and layered this on top. Once both these colours had made the paper wet enough I scrunched it up, dried it slightly and then laid it out and rubbed a little of the darker colour over the top.

I cut the frame behind the image out on the Cricut and layered this onto a piece of glossy card that I used the silkies on again but slightly different and although it doesn't really show in the picture it has a slight criss cross effect. The image is mostly done in silkies but I have also used a few promarkers, to finish the whole thing off I cut a flourish and then made a flower. The flower is made with black paper soaked with diluted silkies and screwed up, it has five layers and these are glued together and finished with a pearl.

I hope you like this one.

Sweet Pea Challenge - Black, White and another

Over on Sweet Pea Stampers this week the challenge is black, white and any other colour. Well I wasn't going to use pink but it somehow just happened, I have used promarkers to colour both the image and the flowers which were punched with a Martha Stewart punch. I have cut the image out this time and popped her onto a black mat then onto a pink mirri mat which doesn't show in the photo, the ribbon is also coloured with one of the promarkers as it was white to start with.

The flowers were stuck on with pinflair glue and then the leaves were pushed in behind them and I used a corner punch just to add a bit of interest to the otherwise plain mats.

Sweet Pea again

This is a card I made for a forum swap, I know my partner has got the card now so I am safe to show you it. The backing paper is printed from a cd that wasn't on general release, I sprayed it with sparkle and shine but because the nozzle got stuck it is a bit on the heavy handed side. I cut the mats on my Cricut and the bottom one I coloured with my silkies to match the dress of the fairy. The flowers were made from scalloped circles which were soaked with watered down silkies and scrumpled up then glued together, I put a sparkly gem in the centre and dabs of glue on the petals which I then dusted with dazzle dust, finally the sentiment is from Sweet Pea Stamps too, I bought a grab bag which had 6 sentiments in for $1.50, I cut this out with one of my nesties but because I wanted a very small border I cut the same size twice and trimmed on the embossing line of the top one and coloured the underneath one with more silkies.

I quite enjoyed doing this one and will be making more flowers this way as they are just a bit different and so easy to do.

Sweet Pea Challenge - Aqua and Brown

The challenge this week on Sweet Pea Stampers is Aqua and Brown, well I love this combo so had to give it a go. The stamp I have used is one I got when I bought a grab bag a few weeks ago and what value, I am so pleased with them.

I have used the ever present on my desk promarkers, to colour the image and the backing paper is from Glenda's Decadent Brocade cd, I used the cool aqua promarker to colour some plain white paper which I then cut some flowers fromalong with the bronze coloured card I used to mat and layer, I also coloured the white ribbon with the same pen so I knew everything would match.
