A Sad Farwell to Sweet Pea Stamps

I have had the privilege and honor of being a member of Lynette’s team(s) for many years. I have got to play with some of the most unique designs that have ever been on the market. With these designs and Lynette's encouragement, I know that my coloring and creativity has blossomed. It is with a saddened heart that we must say “Farewell to Sweet Pea Stamps,” but not to Lynette McAnsh!

Lynette and I have nurtured a friendship through these years and I can proudly say that this strong relationship will last forever. I am planning on keeping it that way, Lynette. You will never see the last of me, I promise.

Very soon Lynette will receive one of my art cards. The one below is one of my favorites. (Yes, Lynette, it’s going in the mail shortly.) This card has been designed around Elain Cox’s digital image "Button Mushroom Fairy." I fell in love with this little fairy the moment I saw her.

With the closing of Sweet Pea Stamps, Lynette has given you a "35% off coupon code" off all digital images. (Rubber stamps are no longer available.) This code ends tonight, November 25, 2015, at 11:59 p.m. Don’t waste your time!!

If you have come from Kathi Rerek's blog, you are on the right track. Your next stop will be Christina Gudgeon's blog. I hope you have enjoyed the hop. Everyone that leaves a comment will be placed in a random draw for a Sweet Pea Stamps card that I have made, plus a few other goodies not related to Sweet Pea Stamps.

Thanks for stopping by and helping us bid Sweet Pea Stamps a fond farewell. I am going to miss Sweet Pea Stamps! If you are a friend of Lynette’s on Facebook you will be able to keep up with her shenanigans. Lynette has enough energy that puts us all to shame. Love you Lynette with all my heart!

Sweet Pea Stamp's Button Fairy

A hot hello from Oklahoma to everyone in blog land!

This week my inspiration piece for Sweet Pea Stamps is Elaine Cox’s “Button Fairy.” I have had her in rubber for a few years now. You can find “Button Fairy” along with “Little Dreamer Mermaid” on Plate #78. My piece used the digi version. Isn’t she the cutest? I love those wings too.

Copics used:

Skin: E000, E11, R30

Clothes and Wings: BG11, BG72, BG75, G40, G82, G94, G99

Mushrooms and Hair: YR21, YR24, E99

My dies are Cheery Lynn’s Stacker Flower #1 Leaf and Heartfelt Creations Sun Kissed Fleur. I am getting a little better at my handmade flowers, but still need practice. I added a little Smooch Glitz Frost to the petals.

My designer papers are also from Heart Felt Creations SunKissed Collection. Everything has been distressed with Peacock Feathers and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.

Don’t forget to join in our One Sweet Challenge for July. Our theme is “Red, White, and Blue.” I hope you join us.

Thanks for stopping by. If you have any questions, just ask. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
