For my creation this week I am once again playing with a gorgeous Ching-Chou Kuik image. I just love her artwork... it was seeing one of her stamps used on a card somewhere in blogland that lead me to find Sweet Pea Stamps and to fall in love with their awesome range of gorgeous stamps! :)
This one is called Butterfly Blue and despite being tempted at first to colour her in bright colours, I eventually opted to colour her with more muted wintery colours... in fact, I dug out my limited edition Winter set of Promarkers for this one:
The papers are (yet again) ones that came free with a craft magazine and I cut some delicate embellishments on my Cameo... I also liked the idea of the embellishments overhanging the edge of the card so I trimmed down the front section of the card and added more of the paper on the exposed back section of the card:
I once again used a Flexmarker pen for a pale colour wash in the background of the image:
And I also accented her jewellery and the beading in her hair, using Stickles and Perlen Pens.

Lovely Ali. That stamp is gorgeous and your coloring is amazing.
What an elegant lady, Ali! Love the colour combo you used and the colouring is so beautiful. Red is always so elegant, and so is your card with perfect matching embellishments.
