Morganna


I think the girls drawn by Terra Bidlespacher are just wonderful.  Each of them seems to speak to me and have so much expression on her face.  This is one of the newest releases from Terra Bidlespacher for Sweet Pea Stamps and is called Morganna.  She is available as a single rubber stamp or on a sheet with three other wonderful Terra Bidlespacher  images on Plate #210.

The background was created using the Kraft Core 'Shattered' cardstock and the Couture Creations embossing folder 'Uber'.  I then lightly sanded the raised embossing so it would stand out more. The metal gears were the finishing touch.

Autumn Passion


This lovely image is drawn by ching chou kuik and available from Sweet Pea Stamps.  Her name is Autumn Passion. Yes, I do realize that I am sitting here wishing for Spring and springlike weather, but she is so pretty, I couldn't wait for fall until I colored her up.

I paired her with some paper from Carta Bella So Noted and some pearls in my stash.  I really like the teal, red and black combo.

Me and My Shadow

The most recent stamp release from SCACD is Fairy Dust designed by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD.  This image is called Me and My Shadow. 

I paired this image with paper from the Webster's Pages Modern Romance collection.  The sentiment is from the Susana Loves Stamps Blank Canvas Collection #2.  It is the word collage freebie image that comes with the complete sheet. 

These cute mushroom die cuts are actually, are you ready for this...., from the Dies by SCACD Vintage Fountain.  I know, pretty cool isn't it?  I am going to do this again.  I have some whimsical creations that need red mushrooms with white behind them for the dots. These are just perfect.

Lotus






Lotus is one of the many flower themed women in the collection drawn by Rebecca Sinz and available in digi and rubber from Sweet Pea Stamps.  I had planned to be much more ornate with the background and embellishments on this card, but everything seemed to be wrong with the image.  A few tiny polka dots on the paper and a single flower and the image just shines through.
