Doesn’t this make you think “Indian Summer”? Well, I hope we get one! a LONG one!!! This is Inky Impressions new Lili roller skating…so cute in her ta da stance! Stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with copic sketch markers, drew in the sidewalk and grass. The falling leaves is part of a Magnolia of Sweden stamp. I used my stamp a ma jig and stamped it in parts here and there around Lili. The corner stamps and sentiments by Inkadinkado here and here, are clear stamps…the small sets and stamped up great with Versafine ink. I tried the Toffee color in the corners and really liked it on this Stampin Up card-stock. The pattern Papers are October Afternoon…love them!!!

My card today is for Inky Impressions Challenges #18…be sure to stop over and see the Inspirational Inkettes cards, join the fun and create a card or project using Inky Impressions stamps and fall colors. Here’s a close-up of Lili…

Tilda cooking up somethin’

September 11, 2009August 12, 2017 Pam Sparks19 Comments

The project this month at the Magnolia-licious Highlites blog is this accordian folder holder made with business size envelops, chipboard, pattern papers and of course Magnolia stamps!

Here’s the front! This Tilda is from the Fall Kit you preorder, sight unseen! Full of yummy images!
They are available to order individually now. The kitchen cabinet is from hÄnglar stamps, also a Swedish stamp company. I colored with my copic sketch markers and the pattern papers are from My Minds Eye. The label punch and stamp are from Stampin Up. I used the Tim Holtz tiny attacher (staples) and my oval nestabilities dies for the rug. Hope that’s everything…give a holler if I missed something!

Back to School Angelica

September 3, 2009September 2, 2011 Pam Sparks20 Comments

I’ve made this card for THREE challenges…woohoo! Quit laughing at me! I’ve come a long way! lol Cute Card Thursday’s challenge this week is Back to School. The sketch is from Friday Sketchers challenge blog and today’s ways to use it challenge at Splitcoast Stampers is “sand it”! I decided Angelica heartsocks looks all dressed up and ready to go to school! I had to fiddle with the sketch but it looked like the other gals did too…then the “sand it” for SCS is just the matte after-all… I made a couple other things but just couldn’t make them work! I usually do that…that’s why my desk is a mess!

I love the stamps from Inky Impressions….these girls are the sweetest and my faves right now! I’ll be using some new ones soon….can’t wait! First it’ll be sneak peeks and then a blog hop, I’m told…my first!
