Sweet Stop Sketch Saturday and Pumpkin Marci…

Pam Sparks25 Comments

A cutie straight from the pumpkin patch!  Pumpkin Marci is from Lala Land Crafts, HERE.  So fun to color…love her shoes!  Always have had a weakness for shoes! Marci is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink HERE on Neenah Classic Crest 80# card-stock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers HERE.   I colored her a month or so ago,  so I’m not going to be real exact on the colors…pretty sure her shoes are the E40’s and the orange is YR12, 14 and 18….can’t remember her hair. Seems like the greens are YG41, 45.  Two Martha S. border punches, the fence HERE and the pumpkins.  Oval Nestabilities HERE.  The word border stamp is from Technique Tuesday,  the corner leaf flourishes and the word Autumn are from Inkadinkado.  The trees in the background are from Kodomo, a wood mounted tree set.

Here’s the Sweet Stop Sketch 75 for today!  Check it out and join the stamping fun!!! The DT is so inspiring with their cards every week!

I know, the sketch police are chasing me! NOT! lol  I didn’t get the shape quite right..oops!  and when I got stopped,  I pulled out my “creative license” again! ugh! lol  I tried,  I did!!!  I really did…but then that 6×12 piece of card-stock was laying there leftover from the last card that needed a green base… so I used it! lol

The challenge at A Spoon Full of Sugar is “Anything Goes” and over at Charisma Cardz Challenge it’s “Anything Goes”.  Stamp Something Challenge blog is “Fall Colors”  so I’m linking up!

have a great weekend everyone!  Appreciate your comments and the sharing you do on your blogs too!

(looks like chalk to me!)  Lili is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Papertrey Ink card-stock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  Pattern paper is from October Afternoon.  The spelling background is a BLine Designs rubber stamp.

Marci with Rose is one of my favorites of this new collection from Lala Land Crafts HERE.  She is so versatile, looks great in ANYTHING, and can be used for almost any occasion!

I stamped Marci on Papertrey Ink white card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink HERE and colored with Copic Sketch markers HERE.  The background stamp is from the Magnolia Fairy-tale collection HERE, also stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink HERE and colored with Copic Sketch Markers HERE.  I used a bunch of pinks and greens and blues and the grays are the N0’s.  The little stamp running around the perimeter of the circle is from Technique Tuesday’s Irony clear stamp set.  The sentiment is an old PSX stamp.  The crystal chandelier garland is from Magnolia HERE.  Both border punches are by Martha Stewart.  The background rose stamp is from Printworks HERE, (email/phone Nicole for J1826 Antique Rose Pattern) stamped with Ranger Sea Shells Ocean Aqua dye ink. whew!  did you get all that?!!! lol

Marci’s sweet little Panda is FREE when you buy all 5 of the new Marci stamps!  gotta ♥ that!
