Magnolia, Tilda’s Town, Anything Goes!

May 3, 2013May 8, 2013 Pam Sparks16 Comments

Anything Goes is the new challenge this week at Tilda’s Town Challenges! Easy week to ink up your Magnolia stamps and get creating! We’d love to have you link up!

I used Tilda with Kite… inked her with Ranger Archival black ink, then stamped her on Canson Montval, Cold Press, 140 lb. watercolor paper and colored her with Distress Ink Markers (watercolor style).

I used a NEW die from Memory Box, Cottage in the Woods (added an extra tree in the foreground), Magnolia, DooHickeys Heart Swirl and Clover and Flower dies. I use the omnigrid ruler to measure down for placing the focal image and the Perfect Layers Ruler for the 1/16th mat for Tilda. An EK Success scallop border punch, love the mini size of it… The birthday wishes circle is an old Inkadinkado stamp.

Tilda with Heart Arrows… Sweet Stamping Pixies Challenge

February 11, 2013February 11, 2013 Pam Sparks36 Comments

Time for Sweet Stamping Pixies monthly challenge! After a year of challenges… Sweet Stamping Pixies is going to close. Thank you Jay Jay for a fun year of challenges and meeting new gals! Click over to the challenge blog to see the awesome creations from the designers… worth the ‘trip’! We would love to have you create and link up for this last challenge… Valentines!

I think Tilda with Heart Arrows (cupid) is quite the cutie! I spent so much time coloring her that I ran out of time, so she is just matted with card-stocks and the Perfect Paper Layers tools…love them, I DO!!! Layered on pattern paper and then to kraft card-stock. The card measures 6×6. Tilda is colored with Distress Ink reinkers on Langton Hot Press watercolor paper.

So many fun challenges going on that I can link to! yea!

Magnolia, Tilda’s Town, Ice Tilda…

January 25, 2013May 12, 2013 Pam Sparks37 Comments

Time to Celebrate! This week’s challenge at Tilda’s Town Challenges! I used Ice Tilda and the Lovely Fence DooHickeys die. We’d love to have you link up… always a random chance to win the draw for the $10 gift certificate to Tilda’s Town.com!

I colored Tilda with Distress Ink refills. I am still playing around with these… trying to figure out what works for me. I ended up using Tattered Rose and Tea dye for her skin… I know, everyone else uses Tattered Rose and Vintage Photo. ugh… the vintage photo really goes yellow on me. YES, her cheeks got way toooo big on me! You aren’t supposed to notice! hahahahahahahaha Well, they aren’t near this dark IRL. I’m not going to give up on them yet… I keep going back and trying again! lol

The pattern paper set I used is Winterberry from Memory Box. Perfect Layers Tools to mat the main image… link in the right sidebar.

Click over to Tilda’s Town Challenges and see what the other ladies created… always awesome, inspiring work!

I just received an order from Tilda’s Town! Love the “to my Valentine” stamp! It’s small, inch by inch and a half and will fit in heart shapes perfectly! yea! Happy creating and happy shopping!

Birdie Kiddo…

September 12, 2012September 13, 2012 Pam Sparks19 Comments

So CUTE! Love these Kiddo stamps from Stampendous! Lucky for all of us they are 25% off through today at the Scrapping Center… links below… Martha Stewart snowflake punch… EK Success border punch…Tim Holtz Alphabetical die… Distress ink reinkers for coloring. (The pattern paper is from a pad by K & Co.5.5 x 8.5 in. – quite a few years old. It’s a bummer but I’m going to be using old paper for awhile. One should not hoard paper after-all…waaaahhhhhh no fun!)

I LOVE that they are singing to each other while the snow is swirling around her feet!
