To Many More, My Sweet Pea....





To celebrate the one year anniversary or one year birthday, which ever you prefer, Sweet Pea Stamps is having a Customer Blog Hop!!!! Now you know my love, no lust for these magnificent stamps so of course I had to get in on the celebration!!!!  They certainly have become my exilleration, relaxation, and passion.  It is amazing I can spend hours under my magnifying lamp coloring and shut everything else out.



I used my newest stamp from the ching-chou kuik's Fantasy Art Collection called Carnation of May. For the blog hop you had to make a Birthday or Anniversary card. I chose to make a Birthday but I think I will also use this stamp for Mother's Day!

I colored my mermaids with my copics and I am sorry but I lost track of my colors. As usual I chalked my background. People ask me how I keep the chalk from coming off and the answer is HAIRSPRAY!!! After I am done with the coloring I give a light mist of hairspray and that keeps the chalk from rubbing off.  Of course these images scream for sparkle so stickles are added. I did not have the correct color of flowers to match my colored image so I took my copics and colored those too. Even though in the picture they look a bit darker, they in real life are the same shade as in my image.  A MS punch and a bow made on my bow EZ finished the look.  The sentiment computer generated reads " the best birthdays of all are those that have not arrived yet".

Once again Lynette and Sweet Pea Stamps, Happy Birthday/Anniversary and many many more!!!!!!
