Sweet Pea Stamps
Today is my day to showcase an image from Sweet Pea Stamps for our Artist Week where the whole team are using images by Ching Chou-Kuik. I have chosen to work with the image Pink Peony
I started off by colouring the image with Promarkers. Once coloured I fuzzy cut the image, not an easy image to fussy cut with the strands of hair but I did not want any white paper on this card.
Promarkers used
After some thought I decided on my second thought and removed all the card blank area from behind the fan.
Onto the tag. For this I used a Just Right stamp which I stamped in green and then used clear embossing powder. This was cut out using a Spellbinder circle die. Next I cut some of my beautiful paper in a slightly larger Spellbinder circle die and air brushed it with my Peony Rose Promarker. The final die used for the background is from Sizzix called For The Record 2
Finally I assembled the card. Inside view

I added Liquid Pearls to the fan and parts of the clothing.
Next I covered my card base with some gorgeous paper I bought about 4 years ago (as it is a favourite I don't use it often <g>). I recently bought a beautiful die - Joanna Sheen - Large Filigree Fan which I thought would be perfect for this card. I cut the die 4 times to make the fan shape using the same cream card I used for my card blank. Two ideas in my head, either cut the corner away as I have shown here or remove the whole section behind the fan.
Finally I airbrushed some white organza flowers and also a piece of organza ribbon.
