Watch OUT!!!

Pam Sparks34 Comments

Do you see what she’s hiding behind her back?  Snowball Laugh is playing tough gal today! lol  Good thing she’s so cute!  I colored and created a winter-ish scene for her to play in today.  CC Designs images… so fun!  I love this winter tree with just the perfect amount of snow  “globs”!   The Snowy Winter fence is perfect too.  I cut it all out, even the bits in-between the boards!  I was thinking last night while I was cutting all these out, that I should make a video on cutting out the fence…then I thought…no one would watch it! lol   I used white signo gel pen on her fluff and some E 50 copic marker.  I love the look of this white pen!  To bad you can’t see it! bah haha

Splat!  I told you to watch out!  I love this awesome set that Christine illustrated for us this month.  I paper pieced the puddle.  I used the Hattie, Stella and Rose 6×6 pad.  I linked to it below but it’s out of stock but it takes you to all the other MME pads that would all work up wonderfully!  The snowflakes are three sizes of Marvy Snowflake punches. The mittens dies are new for November from CC Designs also.  It’s fun how they’re made…very easy to piece different patterns together and add stitching.

It’s an easel card so I shot a couple side views… Laugh, the trees and fence are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Sketch Copic Markers.   Blue greens are  BG72, 75, 78.  Golds are YR21, 23, 24 and E99.  Hair is E50, E31, YR21 and 23.  Face is E000, 00, 01 and a diluted R20.  Fence is E43, 44, 47, 49.  Trees are BG93, 96, 99.

No snow here today… another beautiful day! yay!  Always some kind of weather, that’s for sure! : )    I did have fun coloring these images and hope you’ll be inspired to do some creating this week too!  I need to stay in the stamping and coloring “groove”!  I’m linking to the Sweet Stop Sketches Challenge blog – I was inspired by their sketch this week.  The ABC Challenge blog is up to D – wanting to see Dazzle… well,  my snow’s got glam!

Here’s the back!

This card-stock is really gold, not pumpkin!!! ugh!  I had this one little sentiment made up to add to the easel but I couldn’t decide where to put it,  so it’s on the back! lol  I love it though and it turns the Winter card into a Christmas card! 

Hope she made you laugh and want to get stamping!  Thanks for stopping by and ttul!

I don’t want to think about snow!

It’s inevitable where I live though!  We had a few flakes earlier in the week! I’ll just stay in and stamp!  haha!  The challenge for our stamp club swap was to create a Christmas card with non-traditional colors.  I made a flakey Christmas card! I love the new Mittens dies from CC Designs Cutters!  They are so cute and love the embossing on them too!  I used a Hero Arts Holiday Background stamp,  My Minds Eye Stella Rose clear stamp set and a Martha Stewart Snowflake punch, Embroidered Floral Edge punch and Embroidered Floral Corner punch. The gems are from Hero Arts and the Vintage glass shard glitter is from the Art Glittering system.  I used the discontinued pink card-stock from Stampin Up and it really is a fun pink…not sure why it looks so bright here… oh the joys of photography!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Weekend to you!

Flashback…

Pam Sparks11 Comments

So here’s the scoop for Flashback Friday Challenge Blog…**first card you have posted with a window cut into the front of the card** I found this in my Splitcoast Stampers Gallery,  I made it for Christmas 2007.   yipes,  where does the time go!  I know I got the idea from someone online but I sure don’t remember where now!  If it was you,  THANKS!  I loved the inspiration!  This is not the first card I ever made with a window cut in the front… I’ve been stamping since April of 1994,  so it’s impossible to remember that first one! For me that is!!! lol

HERE is my card in my SCS gallery.  Wish I had a picture of the inside but I can’t find one. figures.

What a fun challenge blog… I love looking back… have a nice day and see you tomorrow!

under the weather?

Today I tried out the new Copic Sketch Marker colors!  I do LOVE them!  Here’s Brrr Emma gettin’ out from under the weather by wearing her sweet new Winter clothes!

I stamped Brr Emma, with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Strathmore Bristol Smooth card, masked her and stamped the bench, and colored both with Copic Sketch Markers… face – E0000, 000, 00, 01, R20, 21…hair- YR30 (new), 31, 21, 23, E37…scarf, mittens, diamonds – RV63 (new), 66 (new)…earmuffs, belt – BG0000, 000, 53 (new)…sweater & pants – YG61 (new), 63, 67…socks – BG0000, 000, 01…shoes T0, 3, 5 …bench – E21,23 (new), 25, 27, 29.  (The green is really not “dingy” in person…not sure why it won’t show up right in the photo except for my photo skills are lacking..boohoo… in other words I don’t know what to change!)

I stamped “under the weather?”, with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  The sentiment is from the new Feb. release Amy R. Get Well set… love all the CC Designs sentiment sets!

Martha Stewart around the page punch set..not sure what the teeny snowflake stamp is… unmounted and it’s been on the desk for some time… hmmmm….I stamped it in Broken China distress ink.

I layered Emma up on a bunch of ovals cut with Nestabilities dies.  No pattern paper anywhere! lol  I did distress the edges with the Tim Holtz distress tool… popped up snowflakes here and there…stickles on the snowflakes.

Talk to you again soon!

I’m linking up to the Stamp Something Challenge Blog where the theme right now is Winter Something… I think my sledding girl fits that great! : )

I really enjoy ATC’s but I do have trouble switching gears from coloring cute, so to speak! lol  I enjoyed working on these though and hopefully the recipients will enjoy them and I’ve caught up a little! : )

Thanks for stopping by and hope they make you grin!
