Memory Box Lamp post Frame card…

June 9, 2013June 10, 2013 Pam Sparks13 Comments

A happy Spring scene using all Memory Box and Poppystamps dies and card-stock. Makes a gal want to go live here! Imagine…gingham grass and polka dot butterflies!

I used parts of a couple dies… the leaves in the tree are from the Lavish Branch die and the grass is just the scallop part of the Spring Border die with the flowers cut off.

I die cut the Lamp post frame out of Vanilla Bean card-stock and the Debutante background is die cut out of Water card-stock.

The Lavish Branch is die cut from the Lime Green Gingham and the Cranberry Dots Card-stock. I cut the red flowers off and glued them on top of the Lime Green flowers with Tombow Mono Multi glue.

The little butterflies are from the new Dancing Butterflies die.

I used a woodgrain stamp to make the wood grain on the tree trunk…

Thanks for stopping by today! I appreciate it! I’ll be back tomorrow with another Memory Box card.

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.
