‘O Holy Night’…looking at this card IRL takes me right to the true meaning of Christmas! I love this Nativity Collection from Magnolia Rubber Stamps! Edwin the Wiseman is colored with Distress markers on Canson watercolor paper and has a sparkly coat and crown from the Wink of Stella Clear Brush Glitter marker. I love the Star of Wonder Memory Box dies cut from the Silver Coredinations glitter card-stock too!

Here’s a close up of Edwin…

Use Your Stash! is the challenge this week at Tilda’s Town Challenges. So out came a Tilda I haven’t used yet, colored with Distress Ink Markers with water on Langton Prestige Hot Press Watercolor paper and the only paper anywhere near the Milled Lavender color is this old Wild Asparagus pattern paper from My Minds Eye. I know… in the photos the paper doesn’t looked lavender at all but IRL, it is a pretty soft lavender!!! Imagine…. hehe

Tilda has a little garden happenin’ here… love this sentiment from Paper Smooches! Dies are all Magnolia Doohickeys… check ’em out @ Tilda’s Town.com!

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…

I used an image from MarkerPOP! by Sylvia Zet called Peggy and I watercolored her with Distress Ink Markers.

I used the Perfect Layers Tools to mat Peggy, the fishtail banners and around the perimeter of the card. For the fishtail banners, I cut both sides with the 1/16th in. ruler then cut up the center of the tail area with a scissors, then I was able to use the 1/16th ruler on each side of the tail.

The pattern paper is from Simple Stories. Flower and alphabet dies are from Quickutz.

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!

I’m linking to Midweek Magnolias Challenge … Birthday is the theme.
