Magnolia Tilda as Snow White…

September 22, 2011March 15, 2013 Pam Sparks37 Comments

Birthday time! G-daughter Lizzie Faith had a Snow White birthday party Sunday. So sweet! Aunt “Colors” made her a Snow White dress that was out of this world beautiful! Lizzie Faith loves it!

Here’s a picture of the party set up… Breanna, Lizzie Faith’s mom…she did the Green Lantern party awhile back for her 1 yr old and I showed a Green Lantern Edwin card.

So pretty with red roses and red apples!

A close up of Tilda…

She is stamped on Beckett Expression Super smooth 80# card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, cut out and colored with Copic Sketch markers. Lizzie Faith insisted on having strips of red in the sleeve… so I just tried to please her! : ) I can’t remember what colors I used. Punches are from the Punch Bunch.

I was inspired by Kittie’s frame cards – her tutorial is HERE! Lovely cards on her blog!

I’m linking Tilda up to a couple challenges…

Hanna and Friends challenge blog – anything goes

Wee Memories challenge blog – no pattern paper

Hope you’ve had a stamping great week! I cannot believe it’s late Thursday afternoon already! eek! Thanks for stopping by! ttul!

Country Lula for August Tuesday Review…

August 16, 2011March 10, 2013 Pam Sparks27 Comments

My card for today uses Country Lula, the new Rolling Rose die (video below) and a sentiment from the new Mixed Messages stamp set.

The tool I used to help me roll up the rose is in the store HERE.

I made a video for the Rolling Rose die…

I stamped Country Lula on PaperTrey Ink white card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Copic Sketch markers. I masked her with Eclipse tape and stamped the chicken wire background stamp from Oxford Impressions behind her and the grass below her. I think the grass is from Rubber Stampede. Inked the sky in with Tumbled Glass Distress ink and the grass with Peeled Paint Distress ink and the Ink Blending Tool.

The little white flowers are from Maya Road, the pattern paper pad is 6×6 For the Record from Echo Park, Martha Stewart Around the Page Punch set, Hero Arts gems, machine stitching and the leaf frond is a small Sizzlet die from Stampin Up.

Here’s a close up of this cutie!
