Magnolia Tilda with Hanging Star…

Pam Sparks55 Comments

I used adorable Tilda…she’s a melt your heart cutie… it just dawned on me I didn’t glitter up her star! hmmm…use your imagination here! lol  Bo Bunny pattern paper pad…Basic Grey ribbon…Nestabilities dies and a matte gold card-stock….oh, a little bit of frosted lace stickles on her wings.

I stamped Tilda on Papertrey Ink white card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Copic Sketch Markers.  Hair – E50, YR31, 21, 23, 24, E37… Skin – E000, 00, 21, diluted R30… dress – forgot to color gray first… I knew I was forgetting something! ugh! R24, 27, 29, 59… star – YR21, 23, 24… wings – W00, 0, 1, 3.  I edged the circle with Forest Moss Distress ink and my ink blending tool.

Tilda and Edwin….She said…He said….

Pam Sparks48 Comments

I’m not a fishing lady but my DH loves to fish!  My Dad loved to fish too… I always made sure I had plenty of books to read if I had to go along! lol   So, maybe she said,  “let’s go home” and he said, “not until I catch something”!  Magnolia named this Edwin, “Waiting for Fish”!  That pretty much sums it up! lol

I LOVE these images… but you knew that!  *big grin*  This Sweet Rainbow collection is fabulous!

The branches at the top are from the new tree branch stamp… I just didn’t use the big branch part this time!  The dock is an Art Impressions rubber stamp… I need to get the Magnolia dock.  The Vacation filmstrip stamp is from Hero Arts and the HE SAID, SHE SAID stamps are from Technique Tuesday, Read all about it set.  I do love filmstrips… the next one I’m going to use is this cool new mini filmstrip die from MFT… in the store HERE.  I did the sky with another treasure that I unearthed from one of the piles I’ve been going through!  YEA!  It’s from Rosie’s Roadshow and I used the ink blending tool (tip – start on the stencil and move up and off the scallop edge) and Tumbled Glass Distress ink.

I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic sketch markers.  A lot of crazy coloring again…Hair – E50, YR21, 23,  24, 31, E27 (see,  I told you)…Skin – E000, 00, 21, R30 on Edwin and diluted R20 on Tilda for cheeks…Greens – YG91, 93,95, W1, 3…boots – E40’s and a little YG91 down the front/center…basket and tree branch – E30’s…Edwin’s shirt – B32,34, W0, 1…Tilda’s shirt – Ro2, 05…tree branch leaves – YG61, 63, 67, E42.

CC Designs June Release Review…

Pam Sparks17 Comments

Today the All That Scraps DT gals are reviewing stamps for the June release on the ATS blog, HERE.  I used the new Amy R Magical Wishes set…very fun sentiments for in and out!

I used the new Magnolia Doohickey’s  flower petals die from the Butterfly Dreams Tree die set for my flower… cut three, layered them up and a Lasting Impressions brad in the center.   The leafy branch on the front is a Sizzix Sizzlet die,  the leafy branch on the inside is from the Magnolia Doohickey’s Bon Voyage Foliage set.

I used the October Afternoon Thrift shop 8×8 paper pad, flower paper is from the Campfire pad,  some SU stripe twill, some Technique Tuesday twill, some cotton cord, a button,  some flower trim I purchased on etsy a couple years ago (I found it when I was going through a pile a couple weeks ago – that’s why we make piles… it’s so fun to find stuff later!!! lol),  Hero Arts small pearls, another Magnolia Doohickey’s die from the Butterfly Dreams collection called Dream tag and a scallop circle nestabilities die.

Stand beside her… and guide her… I miss singing these songs! Can you tell?! lol   This is what I came up with for the shoebox card party today… I LOVE this stamp!  I found it at the new stamp store 30 miles south of where I live… if you want to know about it… email me… it’s called the Craft and Hobby Connection.  The stamp is by Stampabilities… I’m calling it Lizzie Faith and Jace!  That’s our youngest daughter and DH’s two children.  Lizzie is getting close to four and Jace will be one later this month.

The postal frame is from Stampington and Co. and the Statue of Liberty is from an old Hero Arts set.  I keep my stamps!  You never know when you might need one of them!  Makes me happy! lol  Yes, the pattern paper is vintage too! hahaha  Pebbles is the brand…. 2004 or 5!  I’m sure there is a lot of knew out there that would be really fun with these stamps,  but I need to use this stuff!  ugh! lol  Martha Stewart star border punch… I think it might be hard to find…sorry I don’t have a link for most of this stuff!  The star is the smallest star from the Star Nestabilities set cut out of a thin coaster.  I did write up instructions… if you want me to email them to you,  holler!

I know…you’re wondering why I’m showing you the inside! lol  I ran out of time to do it up right! boo!  I love this stamp though, by DeNami Design 46K is the number on it! Wouldn’t it be fun to stamp it on red card-stock and cut out the stars and paper piece them on the blue?!

ok – I’ll shut up…have a great Friday…I’m off to the shoebox card party.  ttul!
