Mermaids...

It's been awhile!  I am ever-so busy with my new company, work at The Page & classes, but finally made time to post another past class from March.  You might have seen these on one of Sweet Pea Stamps customer submission days, but for those that haven't:

Seriously beautiful stamp image.  Done in aqua & copper... love it!

This shot shows the Glossy Accents & Stickles better.

All of these were Sweet Pea Stamps images.  If you haven't checked them out before, you really should.  They have fabulous fantasy art stamps!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

A couple of fairies...

How's that for a post title?!  :)  I just love fairies... yes, all kinds :P  And today I'm showing off a couple from Sweet Pea Stamps, by the artist Caron Vinson.

This is "Royal Flower". She is so sweet, and colored-up in a bunch of Copic BG's... LOVE her!

My rubber stamp actually has a defect in it where her hair is located... so I made it a headband-of-sorts.  I actually like it better than if the lines were there for her hair.

And this is "Moonlight Fairy".  Seriously lovely image, and awesome May Arts sheer ribbon.

 I really like how her skin tone came out, and the overall blush-pink & green combo.  Her hair is waaaay more blended than what this shows... I don't know why my camera does that.

Angels & Demons

... tomorrow night's class at The Scrapbook Page.  I'm using all Sweet Pea Stamps (LOVE!), and I kept all of the overall designs simple to show them off:

This first one is very sweet, no?  Her wings turned out awesome!

This next one is a little more somber... it might make for a good sympathy card:

She is so pretty... and the skin tone turned out just right, though it is hard to see that here.  And that big, fat silver sheer ribbon from May Arts... yummy!

And finally, the little demon:

Still kinda sweet for a demon, right?  And just in time for Valentine's Day :)

One more Mythical Creature feature...

I thought she deserved to have a post all her own :)  This is the third card we'll be doing in Thursday's class.  L.O.V.E. her!

This image is Jeweled from Sweet Pea Stamps:

Isn't she lovely?   I ran out of time to foof up the background of the image, but the white sure sets it off, right?

I decided to give her a belly button :)  I thought it worked out.  Her tail was sooooooo much fun to color & try to get to look dimensional.  And I think her skin coloring worked beautifully.

I used Basic Grey's Jordan from the Olivia line, and Mellow Birch... two VERY different papers that paired perfectly for this image!  Blinginess of note:  webbed trim, sheer ribbon, pearls & glitter pen accents.

I'm entering this little lovely in the
In A Sweet Pea Dream - Bling it Up challenge,
and the Basic Grey - Mix & Match challenge.

Upcoming class at The Scrapbook Page...

Mythical Creatures.

Sounds fun, right?  I'm pretty excited about it... I just love teaching :)  And we'll be using some Sweet Pea Stamps... fantastic fantasy art style rubber stamps.  LOVE them.  The class is sold out, but there is always a chance that someone will cancel ;)  It's Thursday the 19th at 6:30pm at The Scrapbook Page.  Wanna see what we'll be doing?  Check it:

First up, this cute little dragon baby.  Adorable, right?  I know!  LOVE how the egg turned out!  I saw this paper and knew I had to use it with this image... kinda looks like large scales AND the dragon egg shape matches them perfectly :)

This is the Sugar & Spice Dragon from SPS.  I just can't get over how cute she is... not the coloring, just the image alone :) 

Next up, this sadly sweet steampunk fairy:

LOVE how she turned out.  I decided to make the metal pink... I mean she IS a fairy after all :)

Seriously loving her armor... especially how it fades into her chest... pretty cool me thinks.  I am not happy with her hair... I should have added a more defined part line or something.  

This is one of the two images in the Sheet 3 Plate 104 steampunk faires from Sweet Pea Stamps.  I can't really give you any more info about these cards unless you attend my class... sorry  >:)

Don't you wanna come to my class?!!  Just wait until you see my next post for the final card ;)  The store has already placed a second order for these images and we haven't even had the class yet!!

I'm also entering both of these into the Bling it Up challenge at the In a Sweet Pea Dream blog.  Glitter, ribbon, beads & rhinestones... pretty blingy, no?
