Emerald Eyes Katie --- In A Sweet Pea Dream --- Bling It Up --- Challenge # 17

Hello again,
   For this week's challenge I decided to use the breathtaking image "Katie" from Elaine Cox. I just think she is gorgeous even before you do any coloring to her.  Now on to the details.
~ The Details~
I decided to do my image in greens with the background in purple to make it pop.  I stamped Katie in Staz-On -Forest Green ink.  I did my usual coloring with my shimmer chalks and watercolor pencils.  I used Art Institute Glitter in  #45 - Apple,  #95 - Summer Sea,  #161 - Palo Verde and Amy's Magic Glitter in #710 - Key Lime and Mica D'lites in Jade.  Then I added the pearlescent papers and set up my pattern and finished with all the rhinestone bling. Hope you like my sparkly Katie creation and thanks for taking the time to look ;)

My Decorative Pins ;)

Hi again,
  I thought I would really quickly share my newest idea I had that I have been making... decorative pins.  I was just sitting at my craft table surrounded by all my wonderful stuff while I was waiting for some of my other creations to dry and I decided to make some of my own decorative pins.  I like how they came out and I will post more as I make them. Hope you like them and thanks for taking time to look at my creation. ;)

  My mom loves turquoise so I decided to stamp her in Staz-on Azure ink and make her in hues of blue.  I did my usual coloring with my shimmer chalks and watercolor pencils.  The glitter used on her hair was Amy's Magic Glitter #632 - Marina, Art Institute Glitter in # 97 - Nirvana and #120 Blue Rain.  The seahorse was glittered with Art Institute Glitter in #235 - Mustard and # 90 - Melone.  Then I added little tiny bubbles and pearls to her.  The papers are from Creative Imaginations and the punches that I used are Bubbles and Deco Scallop from EK Success.  I finished it with the nail heads in sapphire and turquoise.  Mom thought she turned out great !!  Hope you like her and thanks for taking the time to look at my latest glittery creation ;)

Poppy Love --- In a Sweet Pea Dream --- Favorite Color --- Challenge # 15

Hello again,
    I hope everyone is having nice weather.  We are actually having summer weather already ... too warm -- it has been in the high 80's this week. Hopefully it will cool off a little and we will have a Spring season this year.  For this weeks challenge I chose the color red.  I like all colors but I really do love the color red it is such a powerful color. I chose Ching-Chou Kuik's image "Poppy Love". The first one I did ended up in the garbage, which is unusual for me because I always try to make things work but the hair and red glitter colors I used just didn't work, so I started over and I am glad I did.
~The Details~
 I used my pearlescent chalks to color the background and this time I also used them for the images skin tone... they seem to blend better than my watercolors have been blending for that.  Then I colored in the rest of the image with my watercolor pencils and glittered her.  I used The Art Institute glitters in #1 - True Red, #6 - Dubonnet, # 246 Mardi Gras and #131 - Black Hole.  I also used a black glaze pen to make some of the lines stand out. I added tiny half pearls to the poppies and pulled everything together with the red lace, black beaded pearl strip, corner pieces, "dream" sentiment sticker and tiny pearl accents. I hope you like her and thanks for taking the time to look at my glittery creation ;)

A Peek At My Vargas Pin-Up Girl Purse Charms

Hi Again,
   I decided to show you what I have been working on today and yesterday in between cleaning and all that good stuff.  These started out as plain white ceramic hearts and I painted them with acrylic paint and then I decoupaged the Vargas girl images on them.  Next I put the teeny tiny little micro beads on the two you see in the lower corner.  I took a close up pic so you can see the detail.  These are almost done. I had two others almost done, but being a perfectionist I took them apart and will be starting them over because I didn't like the way they looked.  I will share more as I do them. Hope you like my little peek at my creations. ;)
