favorite friend…

Love this new paper by My Minds Eye…just perfect for this Tilda with a Tag…course the love affair with tags started years ago, oh yes, and that includes brown ink too! hehe Lots of “love” going on! I stamped Tilda with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with my copic sketch markers. I will list them. E000, 00, 01, 02, 07, 50 R000, 00, 01, 02, 05, 08, 17 YR21, 24, 31 Y21, 23, 28

My card base – 5.5 in. square, is Bazzill textured card-stock, scored with my scor-it board. 7Kids has an amazing price on these right now….pink even! Expected to ship this month.

Do you LOVE the sentiment stamps I used? I DO! Printworks Collection has more sentiment stamps than any company I know! Very fun and unusual ones too! I listed the links to them below…

D2877 What Would I do
B3214 Favorite Friend (this is all on the stamp, no label)
A3206 Love You ( I just inked up the Love)
C2564 My Funny Valentine

This Martha Stewart border punch, scallop dot edge, sure mimicked the pattern paper well I thought. Pulled out a Spellbinders border to try too! Spellbinders Square nestabilities on the inside…. I like to use Versafine Onyx black ink for stamping the sentiment stamps…love how it stamps! I made this little green banner for the front and then decided it didn’t really work with Tilda, finished the inside of the card and then decided I could stick it here just to show you what a fun stamp it is! lol

Tomorrow is my first card for La La Land Crafts. It’s blog hop day for the new release! Hope to see you then…there will be a new stamp looking for a new home!!!!

I love this skating girl image from In 2 Stamps winter collection! Stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with copic sketch markers.

The inside of the card I used this birthday stamp from Printworks Collection, under “new releases”, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with copics…loved it for Heather’s Birthday card…she (oldest daughter) was born on Christmas Day!

I can explain….

can you really now??? lol

Edwin is from the new Magnolia Winter kit…I’m sure he’ll be available soon at 7Kids. The fireplace and Christmas words are by Magnolia, from the So Jolly and Under the Mistletoe collections and purchased from 7Kids. I cut out that piece with a nestabilities die. I colored him with copic sketch markers and the pattern paper is from My Minds Eye. The sentiment, “dear santa” is another new stamp from Printworks Collection.
