Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  This week we are being sponsored by Jan's Digital Stamps and I would like to thank them for the images used by the design team this week.  For my card, I am using the Early Spring Nest set.  

After combining the image and saying, I printed it on to Neenah white card stock then colored using koh-i-noor pencils before stippling some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink using my Picket Fence Studios blending brushes.  Once I had the colored image layered, I added some white brads before adhering to my card.  My final touches include some K and Co flower sequins, I've had for years and years, crystal ice stickles for the sequin centers and then faux sewing using a black artist pen.

Jan's Digi Stamps Challenges

 

Hello and welcome.  This week's Pammie's Inky Pinkies challenge is being sponsored by  Jan's Digi Stamps.  I would like to thank them for providing all of the images the design team is using.

After printing the image onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using Castle Art Pencils since I'm still dealing with the same migraine I've had for a few weeks now.  Once it was colored, I stippled Tim Holtz concord grape distress ink around it before layering and adding brads.  The card base is made using Stampin Up card stock and the dry embossed panel was made using a Sizzix swirl embossing folder and my big shot.  I then sanded the raised pattern before lightly stippling forest moss distress ink over it.  The border was made by taking some scrap designer paper and stamping it in concord grape distress ink using a long retired Stampin Up set called Beyond The Basics.  After adding my layered image, I decided to lightly stippled milled lavender and old paper distress inks over the main image to "age" it a bit.  The saying was then stamped in memento tuxedo black ink with another long retired Stampin Up set called Tiny Talk.  I then added grape organdy ribbon and a wine glass charm to finish the card off.
