❤❤❤❤❤

Hi everyone! It’s CC Designs Thursday Review day on the ATS blog… HERE. Illustrator Amy Young’s newest line is the Sweet November Garden Gnomes, Adele, Elsie and Tilly. So charming!

❤❤❤❤❤

I used some October Afternoon pattern paper from an 8×8 pad..Sidewalks. I paper pieced Elsie’s clothes, shoe and watering can. I hand stitched the stamped stitched marks. Some Prima flowers, a Wilton 4 in. doily from Walmart, machine stitching and the Leafy Branch die. Oh, I punched circles for the flower centers. Used a stylus and mouse pad to make them round up and stuck them on a bitty piece of mounting tape. Layers are all cut with the PERFECT LAYERING TOOLS! love them! Links below…

❤❤❤❤❤

I edged all the papers with Antique Linen and Walnut Stain Distress ink and the ink blending tool.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Looking forward to a pleasant weekend… lots of memories to treasure and more to make with family! Some more stamping coming too! Take care! ttul!

A Fishing kind of Birthday!

April 10, 2012August 6, 2013 Pam Sparks26 Comments

Relax, it’s cool! How to celebrate a 10th birthday… fishing… Grandson Lane loved his new tackle box and lures from Grandpa!

New Stampfairy stamps from Marianne Design… Stampfairy Bear Fishing and Stampfairy Sentiments. I also used Marianne Design’s tree, fence, grass and bird dies for this step card… it just makes me happy! So cute! The three little trees in the background are a dollar stamp from M’s… I stamped and masked the bear first… just cut out half the mask… = )

I love how the dies emboss… I used the embossing with the stylus technique that I show in this video HERE and the tree is pieced like I show in this video HERE.

All the pieces are edged with Walnut Stain Distress ink, the green is edged with Peeled Paint Distress ink… and the ink blending tool! MME Lime Twist Cloud paper again… I bought the last three sheets of it at the stamp store in Des Moines… love it! I’ll link to the 6×6 pad that has it in it though.
