Inky Impressions…new Lili

September 19, 2009December 18, 2010 Pam Sparks17 Comments

Lili’s slumber party….we had more slumber parties in our house growing up! I don’t know how my parents could do it! In the Summer it was tents in the backyard! Running in and out of the house…oh yikes! I wasn’t good at slumber parties with our daughters!

This week at Inky Impressions Challenge blog we’re supposed to use stitiching…well, I forgot and had to take this all apart and add stitching! ugh! I decided to use a sketch from Splitcoaststampers.com – sketch challenge SC246…it was a challenge alright! lol I wanted to use this new “around the page” punch set from Martha Stewart somehow…so this is what I came up with!
The paper is from a card pad by K & Company. Lili is colored with copic markers. The sentiment stamp is from Inky Impressions also. The couch! It is from Diana’s store! Hope I didn’t put you to sleep reading all this…don’t want you to miss the slumber party! ha!

Copic Creations Challenge #12

Challenge #12 – Copics, Pencils and OMS

New challenge starting today at Copic Creations challenge blog. Stamps Happen/Janlynn gave each of the design team members a Fairy stamp to color with copic markers, color pencils and odorless mineral spirits. Click on the Copic Creations link above to go to the blog and see all the gorgeous fairies the other design team gals colored, learn some history about flower fairies and links for tutorials on today’s technique! If you play a long, Janlynn has an awesome prize for the winner! Wish I could play for the prize! I say that every-time! lol

I colored the Jasmine Flower Fairy with copic sketch markers first and then went back in with the chocolate and white prismacolor pencils to add more contrast. I then went over those places using a paper stump wet with OMS. I used the Spica clear glitter pen on the wings.

Inky Impressions Blog Hop!!! New stamps!!!

September 12, 2009August 14, 2011 Pam Sparks120 Comments

It started Saturday and it’s lasting all week!!! Eight new rubber stamps from Inky Impressions. If you’ve just come to my blog and would like to start at the beginning of the hop you’ll want to go to Nicole’s blog…she is the owner of Inky Impressions rubber stamps and she has a great giveaway you won’t want to miss! Leave a comment here on my blog and you’ll be included in the random drawing for my blog giveaway too! (it’s a surprise)

INTRODUCING…. Flower Lili

So cute in her barefooted way, enjoying the day and the flowers!!!

Here’s a close up of Flower Lili, aren’t her eyes, YG95, just gorgeous? Very easy to color…truly! I used copic sketch markers to color, N1 & 7, the R20 series and nestabilities dies to cut the shapes. A little antique linen distress ink to the edges. I better not forget to tell you, this pattern paper is from Basic Grey Scarlet’s Letter 6×6 pad.

I love using punches to embellish…the little teeny white flowers are beginning to be my “signature” addition to my cards. Easy to make with a mouse pad and an embossing stylus. Just put the flower on the pad and push down in the center with the stylus and they turn up just how I like them! I used the Fiskars apron punch and the Martha Stewart doily lace punch on a band of card-stock that I placed horizontally on the card.

Leaves punched, distressed and the Martha Stewart Cosmo flower punch with a Making Memories rhinestone brad in the center finish off the punched elements.

Enjoy the rest of the hop! Head to Michele’s blog for the next card reveal!

Tilda cooking up somethin’

September 11, 2009August 12, 2017 Pam Sparks19 Comments

The project this month at the Magnolia-licious Highlites blog is this accordian folder holder made with business size envelops, chipboard, pattern papers and of course Magnolia stamps!

Here’s the front! This Tilda is from the Fall Kit you preorder, sight unseen! Full of yummy images!
They are available to order individually now. The kitchen cabinet is from hÄnglar stamps, also a Swedish stamp company. I colored with my copic sketch markers and the pattern papers are from My Minds Eye. The label punch and stamp are from Stampin Up. I used the Tim Holtz tiny attacher (staples) and my oval nestabilities dies for the rug. Hope that’s everything…give a holler if I missed something!

Inky Impressions Challenge #14

September 9, 2009September 11, 2009 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Today on the Inky Impressions Challenge blog we’re celebrating Nicole’s birthday with a color challenge, pink and brown, one of Nicole’s favorite color combinations.

I added some pink and brown to the inside too…don’t ask me why I colored the chocolate pink!!! I got a little carried away I guess…lol

Be sure to go by the challenge blog to see the other gal’s pink and brown creations. You’ll find the links to their blogs in my right sidebar under Inky Impressions Inkettes.

AND…Nicole has some birthday blog candy that you will want to check out here on her blog!

The BEST NEWS is the sneak peeks of the new images starting TODAY! Hurrah! I will have some peeks tomorrow…click the sneak peeks box below ….and for more info check out Naoual, Jacqui and Chris

Then on Saturday Sept. 12th plan on blog hopping with us to see the full cards from all the sneek peeks!

Oops…almost forgot! This cute little Angelica Heartsocks stamp I used on the card above is from Inky Impressions rubber stamps. I did have to alter her this time though…I cut her purse off and made a gift bag (hand cut) out of kraft cardstock. The other stamps used are from Hero Arts, Stampendous, Penny Black and Amuse. EK Success punches, medium retro flower, candle and scallop borders. I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder, Swiss dots, on the pink strip. Pierced the holes in the top right corner. Teeny 1/16th in. brads from Bazzill. Small flower is a Michael’s dollar punch.
Hope she brings a smile and Happy Birthday to you, Nicole!!!
