Pumpkin Sprite at Sweet Pea Stamps

We have  Variation’s Week at Sweet Pea Stamps featuring Mitzi Sato-Wiuff’s Pumpkin Sprite rubber stamp. Mitzi’s sprites are some of my favorites among her rubber stamps in the Sweet Pea Stamps shop.

I had a lot of fun doing my first Halloween themed card for this year. Pumpkin Sprite was colored with Copics and some added bling was added with Spica glitter pens. Next step was to trim her with a circle die, add black ink around the circle, and mount her on a circle die cut in orange cardstock. This orange die cut has black ink around the outer edge also.

Copics used:

Skin: E000, 00, 04, 11, 21, and R20

Pumpkin body: E08, 29, 31, and YR04

Treat bucket and flower hat: YR20, 21, 23, 24, 27

Leaves and stem: G40, 82, 94, 99

Cat: C1, 5, 7, 9, and black Copic liner

Cats eyes and inside of bucket: YG21m 25

Background: W00, 0, 1, 2, 3

I had a lot of fun with my various dies too. I cut out all the elements and before I detached them from the die I added black ink to the embossed areas. For the bats eyes I decided on some Liquid Pearls. Last embellishment is the pumpkin brad in the upper left corner. After all was done, I decided that Pumpkin Sprite is trying to decide if she wants to go on with her Trick or Treat evening!  ;o)

• Digi: Pumpkin Sprite rubber stamp by Mitzi
• Cardstock: SU in Basic Black and Marigold Morning
• Designer Paper: Gina K’s Spooktacular You!
• Ink: Black Licorice

Heather Valentin’s Petals at Sweet Pea Stamps

I have a little Sweet Pea Stamps inspiration piece for you today featuring Lacy Sunshine's Heather Valentin’s Petals. Isn’t she a little charmer? A card featuring Petals would be perfect for a little flower girl. I know that she would appreciate the cuteness. Petals can be found as a digital image or as a rubber stamp, whichever you prefer, at Sweet Peas.

I am in love with Heather’s art work. Did you know that the Heather’s images on Sweet Pea Stamps are designed exclusively for Sweet Peas? I think that is pretty cool!

Petals was first colored with Copics and then trimmed with a die. I then layered her on three layers of purple and light purple cardstock. Before layering I did add some Smooch Illuminate ink to the embossed edges.

Copics used:

Skin: E000, 00, 04, 11, 21, and R20

Hair and Basket: E25, 29, 31, 50

Eyes and Leaves: G40, 43, 46, 29

Pinafore and some flowers: V000, 01, 04, 06, 09

Other flowers: RV34, 52, 69

Dress: V000, RV34, 52, and C0, 2, 4

Dress sleeves: C4, 6, 8

Background: W00, 0, 01, 2, 4, and RV52
