Magnolia, Tilda’s Town Challenge…

May 31, 2013June 2, 2013 Pam Sparks16 Comments

Let’s Celebrate! This week’s challenge @ Tilda’s Town.

I colored Birthday Tilda with Distress ink pad reinkers on Canson Montval cold press watercolor paper. The pattern paper is from the Basic Grey Blush 6×6 paper pad. I used two DooHickeys dies, Twisted Swirl and Heart Flower Lace Border.

I edged the papers with Walnut Stain Distress ink and the ink blending tool. Stickles on the candles!

Tilda is such a cutie with her yummy chocolate cake! A Viva Decor pearl pen for the dots in the background and the pearl is from Magnolia too.

I used the Perfect Layer Tools 1/16th inch ruler for matting… link and discount code in my sidebar…

Magnolia, Tilda’s Town Challenge…

May 17, 2013May 23, 2013 Pam Sparks28 Comments

Time for Tilda’s Town’s weekly challenge…this week…’use a Magnolia background stamp’. I used Tilda’s Summer Car with Cool Edwin from the Sweet Rainbow Collection and colored with Distress Ink Marker watercoloring. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the You Are Special collection.

I used the Deconstructed Sketch #101 and will link to it, but my image was too big to cut into a circle. I love fishtails but I didn’t have enough room, so I used an old Quickutz arrow die to mimic them and thought that went with the car. It was definitely my inspiration but I did have to change it up to work for my image!

Magnolia, Tilda’s Town, Anything Goes!

May 3, 2013May 8, 2013 Pam Sparks16 Comments

Anything Goes is the new challenge this week at Tilda’s Town Challenges! Easy week to ink up your Magnolia stamps and get creating! We’d love to have you link up!

I used Tilda with Kite… inked her with Ranger Archival black ink, then stamped her on Canson Montval, Cold Press, 140 lb. watercolor paper and colored her with Distress Ink Markers (watercolor style).

I used a NEW die from Memory Box, Cottage in the Woods (added an extra tree in the foreground), Magnolia, DooHickeys Heart Swirl and Clover and Flower dies. I use the omnigrid ruler to measure down for placing the focal image and the Perfect Layers Ruler for the 1/16th mat for Tilda. An EK Success scallop border punch, love the mini size of it… The birthday wishes circle is an old Inkadinkado stamp.

it’s a 3 card kind of day!

I was inspired to use some alphabet dies when I saw a card on Papertrey ink’s blog! I used some Crate paper from a 6×6 pad, a couple old Hero Arts sentiments, an EK Success border punch and an even older diamond punch to make the banner for a ‘scrappy looking kind of card’!

It’s a birthday card challenge for you! Use some ‘old and older’ stuff! lol Oh, and my tiny attacher was working that day, so I have a staple! yea! lol The background numbers stamp is one of those wheel stamps. I unmount them and use them as a flat stamp… multiple stamping to get the all over background, using the stamp a ma jig for placement.

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

Pink is harder than red to capture in a photograph! eek! oh well, Here’s a cute card for the scooter rider of the family! Lots of fun stamps from Printworks Collection here… the fishtail banner pulls out and says….

Howie’s Ride J4300, Toy Racer C4295, Rough Rider B4290, Who Says? F4304, E4298 1..2..3.., Eat Cake A4299, On Your Mark D4123

Printworks has ‘thee’ best Birthday sentiments!!! This is a non-opening card, for lack of a better way to put it at the moment! : ) I didn’t tape the right side down so the fishtail banner could pull in and out. The stitching across the top is a Fiskars border punch. I used banner dies for the words and a circle punch.

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

More fun stamps from Printworks Collection for Spring! I love this primitive wheelbarrow and it is fun to color and goes so well with all of Annette’s images and sentiments! I attempted watercoloring again on the scooter card and this one, with Caran d’Ache watercolor crayons on cold press watercolor paper. Perfect Layers Tools for matting the image… link in the sidebar.
