Isn’t this an adorable kitty image? Annette from Printworks has drawn the cutest animals! This one is Here Kitty Kitty. I stamped on watercolor card-stock and colored with Distress Ink Markers.

So cute! and I’m not an animal lover at all!

A couple dies and sentiment stamp also from Printworks and it was done. Never mind that this was the second attempt. lol It’s an A2 size card.

Oh, see the white dots on the butterfly? Well, Linda told me about this Sharpie White Pen so Cindy got them in… so far… I LOVE it! Thank you Linda and Cindy!!!

I’ll link up what I used below… thanks so much for stopping by!

Penny Black Easter Bunny Mimi…

March 25, 2016March 25, 2016 Pam Sparks22 Comments

Happy Easter weekend everyone! I have a cute card to share and then for the real reason for Easter, a video to share…they’ll both make you smile and celebrate!

Mimi is from the Mimi and Miles clear stamp set from Penny Black. I stamped her Hammermill Color Copy Cover card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Copic Sketch Markers.

The sentiment is from Printworks Collection and inked with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Both images were stamped with the MISTI stamping tool.

I die cut the stamped panel with the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles dies.

Very basic A2 size card but she’s so cute she stole the show and didn’t need any embellishing IMO! lol

and here’s the video I wanted to share… super cute kids with the Easter story. This little gal is like a real life Mimi!

Thanks for the visit today!

MFT Card Challenge and Winter Warmth Cards…

January 11, 2016January 12, 2016 Pam Sparks26 Comments

Happy Hello to January 11th already! I wanted to play in the My Favorite Things Card Challenge this week…Sketch 262.

These fun flowers are from the Winter Warmth stamp and die set. The Hello dies is from the Smart Phone die set.

Here’s a picture with a black background. I couldn’t decide between the two! lol

I stamped the flower die cuts with Colorbox Chalk inks in Pink Pastel, Rouge and Lime Pastel using the MISTI so I could stamp multiple times for solid coverage. Love that!

Then I had to play with this stamp and die set some more and use the mittens and mug.

These colors…so fun together! Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio Distress inks.

Going to link my mittens card to the Card Concept photo inspiration challenge. I was inspired by the mittens and the mug… and I would add it to the Clean and Layered category.

One more…

I masked the postal die cut and inked with Distress Inks…Peacock Feathers, Peeled Paint and Anitque Linen. I know, weird combo. lol

A TIP for you…the more layers of colors you ink on the more reactive the ink is with water! See how the blue shows through the green?! Love that!

I used Distress markers for the lines on the mittens and snowflakes on the mug. White gel pen for the little dots and Dylusions White spray ink for the other dots. I used one of those Fantastix sticks for those.

The Stitched Oval is from the New Memory Box Stitched Ovals Layers die set.

EEK! I better get this published before the challenge ends! I will be back with the two winners of the giveaway in a day or two! Thanks for commenting!

ttul!

Simon Says Stamp You Have My Heart release…

December 17, 2015December 17, 2015 Pam Sparks16 Comments

I was so fortunate to receive a new die from Simon Says Stamp to play with for their December release You Have My Heart! Today’s the day to share! I have two cards…this colorful one, I painted a background with Peerless Watercolors on Canson Montval 90# watercolor paper. Spattered with some white Dylusions spray and black Peerless watercolor.

I used the SSS Stitched Rectangles to cut the watercolor piece. Mounted the frame cut directly to the card and popped up the Stitched Heart Collage die cut piece. Oh before I stuck that piece to the card, I stamped the sentiments from the SSS Sending and Wishing stamp set with the MISTI and Versafine Onyx Black ink.

I couldn’t just throw the die cut hearts away! NO! I glued them inside! 😀

My second card is the red/kraft/black ‘thing’ that I always seem to find myself doing! lol

Here I used the SSS Sending and Wishing stamp set and the Sending die with the new Stitched Heart Collage die. A little strip of Little B Washi and Divine Twine to finish it off.

Very CAS but still fun!
