CC Designs Sugarplums Summer Emma is part of the June Release up for review on the ATS blog today, HERE!  Click on over to see what the other ATS DT gal’s created… you’ll be glad you did!

I stamped the Down by the Seaside images from an Inkadinkado clear set with Versafine Onyx Black ink on Papertrey Ink white card-stock  and made a frame for the background image.   I colored these stamped images with Ranger Distress Markers.

The sentiments, from the NEW Beach Logos and NEW Oh So Beachy Sentiments set, were both stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink on Papertrey Ink card also.

On the Lake…

Pam Sparks31 Comments

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

I told you I had more boats coming!  hehe   I’ve had this stamp for awhile, love the simplicity of it but then I wasn’t so sure about how to color it!  The water isn’t really this green IRL… figures… ugh! Here’s the stamp info… Memory Box F1770 On the Lake.

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

As soon as I saw this last Memory Box die release I jumped right over to order!  I had to have this Honeyblossom Sprig!  I glued three cuts of green together then cut one in white and cut out the flowers and one in yellow and just used the centers.  I did shape the back side of the white flowers a little with my McGill Stylus set on a mouse pad.

The woodgrain background is an older stamp from Hero Arts (SS1000), stamped and edged with Walnut Stain Distress ink… it’s not big enough to cover the whole card so I stamp it four times… I’ve done this several times with cards that I’ve posted.  Love the random look of it.

The postal frame is a Spellbinders Nestabilities die.  The mat for the focal image is cut with the Perfect Layers 1/16th in. layer tool… the best investment I ever made for card making!

The postal cancellation and sentiment are from CC Designs and stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink. It stamps the sharpest and cleanest image for sentiments of any ink out there… so worth the money!   Bummer I forgot to take a picture of the inside.  I layered white on green to the kraft card with the Perfect Layers tools.  Then stamped two more sentiments from the same CC Designs All About Dad sentiment set.  Yes,  I used my other tool I can’t stamp with out!  My Stamp a ma jig!

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

I stamped “On the Lake” with Clearsnap Archival Wicked Black ink and  watercolored it with Ranger Distress markers… I really do love them!  They color and blend so nicely on the Canson Manga paper I’ve linked to below.    I appreciate it so much when you make your purchases through my links!!!  I’m encouraged to keep working and sharing for sure!  Thank YOU!

Tulip Time…

Pam Sparks21 Comments

A pretty little Dutch girl… perfect for Tulip Time in May!  Marianne Design EWS 2203 is the clear stamp I used.  She is inked and stamped with Colorbox Wicked Black ink on Canson Manga Drawing Heavyweight card and colored with Distress markers.  I used a sentiment from Marianne Design Stampfairy Cling Stamp Sentiment set. It’s really a clear stamp set but they call it cling.  They stamp up really well on Bazzill texture card-stock using Versafine Onyx Black ink… surprising!  It’s hard to stamp words on Bazzill usually!

Tulips, Anja’s Leaves (new this month), fence and grass dies from Marianne Design too.  Charming dies and so fun to create little vignettes with!

The oval is a Spellbinders Floral Ovals die and the corners, an old Cuttlebug corner die.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I love sharing with you all and appreciate your kind comments and sharing tips for all this creating we do!  Have a beautiful, thankful week!

I’ll be back tomorrow with the new Sugarplums kit from CC Designs!
