Blue Eye Fairy

I admit it..I'm in love. Of course with my hubby but also with the Sweet Pea Stamps- ching-chou kuik's Fantasy Art Stamps. Oh my word. These are just GORGEOUS!! I purchased two sheets of them and will be ordering more as I can.
I must admit though after getting them, now comes the intimidating part--actually using them and coloring them!
Especially when there are such AWESOME artists out there like, Randi, Angela, Alex, Traci, Debby and so many others who do such amazing things with these stamps, wow! 
I just hope I can do these gorgeous stamps justice. Here's my first attempt using Blue Eye Fairy. I made a few mistakes coloring but overall I'm pleased. I kept the card simple as it will take me a while to figure out how to incorporate these images onto more involved cards.

Once again my colors went wonky--the cardstock is really more of a magenta than red and matches the colors I used.

I think it turned out beautiful!! After looking at Traci, Randi and Mags creations I too was so afraid I was not going to be able to do them their justice!! But once I started coloring them I just fell in love and couldn't believe that I had colored it!! These are probably one of my favorite line of stamps!! And they are so affordable!! A great price for what you get!! Danni, I can't wait to see you next creations with these beautiful stamps!!
Hugs,
Angela

This turned out gorgeous! I have that same trouble sometimes with the colors. Try taking it under a direct light and see if that helps. I even sometimes put my OTT light over my card and it seems to help.

I cant even believe my name is on this post. You have no idea how I struggled to color my image. They are so beautiful and detailed and yes quite intimidating. I think yours is fabulous. I most like the hair. I want my hair like that.
