I have a lot to show you today!  I got started on my cards for the Memory Box Blog and before I knew it, I had four cards to share today!  Good thing I needed to stop and fix supper or this really would’ve been a long post!

It’s Day Two of the Memory Box 2014 Creative Elegance Collection Blog Blitz! Scroll through the posts all week…comment on all the posts for chances to win the NEW dies and stencils! 

Happy Day!  My tree card won Top Three at Addicted to CAS Challenge blog!  Thank you ladies!

Here, I used the NEW Yorkshire Tree, Yorkshire Tree background and Library Alphabet Tags dies.  The letters ‘Y’ and ‘U’ are from the tag set also and the hearts are from the Cherish Border die. I colored the trunk of the tree with a copic marker.  I just love the pop of red in the green!

PamSparksPianoBorderClose

Here I used the NEW Piano Border and Perky Poppy dies.  The sentiment is Just a Note Combo. I added the detail on the leaves with a copic marker.

LOVE this keyboard and how can you not love this Perky Poppy!  I even love the name!

Next…

PamSparksPartyMusicHeart625

Here I used the NEW Party Music, Musical Motifs, Heart of Hearts, Sweet Heart, Queen of Hearts and Alphabet Soup dies. (I just used the heart cut from the center of the Queen of Hearts die)  I cut the Cupid Heart out of red card-stock and it is glued on the inside of the card behind the Heart of Hearts that is cut directly in the white notecard.

Next…

PamSparksHappyBirthdayButterflySide

Here I used the NEW Grand Happy Birthday, Norwich Corner and Lunette Butterfly dies.  I cut the corner die twice, left one complete and cut one up to use here and there.

All to true… time flies…a lot of Marianne Design dies in action here…the newest die is the branch, then the clock (I embossed it instead of cutting it), the flowers, the leaves and the frames are all from Marianne Design!

_MG_6470-001

A little bit of inking with Dusty Concord Distress ink and the ink blending tool…

The butterfly die is embossed like my video HERE…

5 1/2 inches square is the size…

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.
