I thought it’d be fun to try hazel color eyes….I used Copic sketch markers E57,55,53, YG99,95,91
For his hat, I used E43,44,47,49
For his hair, I used YR21,24, E37,29,13

I enjoy splitcoaststampers.com and receive their newsletter each week. The distressed frame I made was from a tutorial by Kim Teasdale posted on their site.

Inky Impressions 2nd Design Team call…..

July 23, 2009March 1, 2012 Pam Sparks18 Comments

This call is open to everyone!! Click here to go to the Inky Impressions blog for all the particulars!

I just found out about this rubber stamp company yesterday and placed an order today! My submission is going to have to be a creation from another stamp company, since I’m so late finding out. I am looking forward to creating with the new stamps when they arrive! They are really cute, sweet girl images….

This card I’m submitting is Anya from the Greeting Farm. I’ve colored her multiple times with copic sketch markers and layered her hair, puffy sleeves, bow and basket of flowers. I chose this Basic Grey paper from a 6×6 pattern paper pad. The stamped sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Thank you looking and comments received are truly appreciated!

Happy 3rd birthday to Henry, one of our grandsons….A fun time was had by all!

Magnolia-licious is having a blog hop with an Edwin challenge so I’m going to enter this card…

Edwin is from Magnolia of Sweden rubber stamps, the Spring ’09 release. Doggy on his scooter is from Penny Black rubber stamps. Both colored with copic markers. The two postal cancellations are from Close to My Heart…love this set…(reminder to self) still need to buy the girl set. Martha Stewart butterfly punch. I traced around the actual punch and cut out, to get the solid butterfly to put behind the punched butterfly…just thought it needed that! Hours later….lol The happy birthday words are from EK Success and the 3rd is from Technique Tuesday. Wish Big is Amuse or Savvy, can’t remember and Henry’s name is die cut with Quickutz Blossom alphabet. The pattern paper is from My Minds Eye.

Henry has a stuffed doggy that he LOVES and carries with him almost everywhere! It looks like this Penny Black dog, so I just had to buy the stamp!!! lol Henry also has a red scooter….perfect. I usually don’t talk about family on this blog, but I have to tell you that Tim and I have 8 grandchildren and everyone is a total JOY! They make me smile and I love getting hugs and kisses!

Black and White tones Tilda

The challenge this week at Cute Card Thursday is stitching…mine is all faux but still a sweet addition to this Tilda card “in gray”!
This Tilda was very fun to color. I watched a tutorial at Copic Munkies by Katie Cotton and it is EXCELLENT!!! I used my cool gray copics but next time I’m going to use the warm grays like she did.
Tilda from Magnolia of Sweden, flower background, frame, zig zag and sentiment by Hero Arts. Teeny brads by Bazzill, Martha Stewart border punch and the ribbon is from American Crafts
