Mimi with Lantern…

Pam Sparks28 Comments

 fa la la la la!

I used Mimi from Penny Black and pattern paper from a Christmas pad by Little Yellow Bicycle.  The little white cardinal brad is from Making Memories,  the JOY border punch is from Martha Stewart,  the border around the blue rectangle is a Fiskars border/corner punch, the little buttons are from Lasting Impressions and the music notes are a punch from All Night Media.  I did some backstitching in the holes of the scallops of the rectangle with Coats and Clark’s button/carpet thread (JoAnns).

Mimi is stamped on Papertrey select white card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. Hair – E30, 23, 25, 27, Skin – E000, 00, 21 and diluted R20 for cheeks, Coat & earmuff band – R24,  59, E07, Ear muffs & mittens – YG91, 93, 95, 97,  Boots – W3, 5, 7.  Frosted Lace stickles here and there.  The falalala stamp is from Impress rubber stamps.

I saw the sketch over at Card Pattern Challenge blog earlier this week and thought it would be fun and at CAS-ual Fridays Challenge blog they’re wanting to see twine and buttons,  just the things to get me stamping today for my stamp club swap card…doing flowers. I’m also linking to the That’s Krafty Challenge – use kraft card-stock.

A bunch of Hero Arts stamps…Posie is inked up with Spiced Marmalade and colored with copic markers.  YR 12 – 18 and YG 90’s.  Added the black Zig Writer marker after I colored.

Anya’s Birthday card…

Pam Sparks38 Comments

Our granddaughter Anya turned six yesterday and the family birthday party is tomorrow , we have three birthdays this month…so two more cards coming soon!

This cutie stamp’s name is “looking at you” from Stampavie!  So cute and so like Anya IRL!

The next picture shows my clever little trick to make the easel card stopper!  I LOVE it!

Do you see it?  I used two circle punches and a Quickutz flower die and an Amy R’s birthday sentiment, “birthday girl”.  I scored the pink circle, folded it and stuck part under the layers on the bottom of the card.  The green circle I cut off so it wouldn’t be too thick under the layers… cool… I’m sure I’ll be doing this again.  It’s just like a card “stop sign”! lol

Here’s a close up of “looking at you”…

Colored with Copic Sketch Markers – Hair YR30, 31, 23, 24 – shirt and socks R81, 83, 85 – pants & shoes E40, 41, 42, 43, 44 – butterfly BG0000, 000, 01, 02.  Pattern paper by Jillibean Soup (it’s on sale!). Cardstock is from Prism.  Hug Snug seam binding.  Sentiment stamps, Versafine ink, Magnolia Dragonfly die, Spellbinders dies, Memento inks applied with ink blending tool to sky (summer sky)  and grass (pear tart, new sprout and bamboo leaves) … links below.

Linking my card up to a couple challenge blogs…

Papertake Weekly – anything goes with the optional circle…that’d be my stopper! : ))

Flutter By Wednesday – anything goes with a butterfly
