Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by Polkadoodles.  My card this week uses their cute little Hello Spring digital set.  Once I had it printed onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using my Ohuhu markers before layering and adhering to my card base.  I then lightly blended some stormy sky distress ink before adding some faux sewing stitches.  I then added some punched black/yellow flowers with bling centers to finish it off.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're sponsored by GinaK Designs.  I would like to take a moment to thank Gina for sponsoring this week's challenge.  My card this week features a retired set of Gina's called Birthday Hoot.  I bought it last year and hadn't used it yet.  I absolutely love it since the set makes the cutest cards and not just for birthday's.  It can be used for anniversaries, just because (don't ink the party hat), etc.

 

I started out by stamping the owl/balloons in memento tuxedo black ink on to copic© white card stock before coloring using my Ohuhu markers before drawing some tree branches then coloring.  Once my coloring was finished, I dusted off my dusty Stampin Up Watercolor Minis stamp set and created the "leaves" using various colors of Stampin Up ink then layering and adding some faux brads.  Taking the birthday greeting from my retired Sincere Salutations set, I stamped the greeting before stamping the inside "I hope your birthday is a hoot".  I then adhered my layered image panel to a dry embossed card before adding googlie eyes and some copper bling.  As an afterthought, I lightly stippled some Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink to help fill in the sky.  I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out.

After printing the images out onto Neenah white card stock, I colored them using my Ohuhu markers before stippling Tim Holtz chipped sapphire, aged mahogany distress inks and Stampin Up basic gray dye ink to create my "space" background for the images.  I then added some tiny "star" confetti before adding Ohuhu's glitter metallic marker pens to highlight the planet and rocket flame.  The final touches were a black organdy ribbon and highlighting the "windows" of the spaceships using a clear 3D glaze pen.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by Lawn Fawn.  I would like to thank them for their sponsorship for this week's challenge. My card this week was made using one of my favorite Lawn Fawn sets Car Critters and Car Critters Christmas Add On.  My husband also loves these little guys so that's a plus.

 

I started out by stamping all of my images in memento tuxedo black ink before coloring them using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I fussy cut out the additional images I had stamped, layered my image panel before adding some faux brads and popped up images.  After I dry embossed my card base, I added a couple of Jolee's snowflake stickers I had in my stash before adding star dust stickles to finish it off.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by StarStampz. I would like to thank them for their sponsorship.  My card this week uses the Sunflower Smiles digital stamp set.

 

I started out by printing the image onto Hammermill white card stock before coloring it using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I lightly stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink using a blending brush before layering and adding some yellow brads.  After adhering my layered panel to the card, I then added some bling and a small gingham yellow bow to finish it off.

After printing the image onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored it using Ohuhu markers before stippling some tumbled glass distress ink then layering and adding some faux brads.  Once I adhered the colored image panel to my card, I pulled out a long retired Stampin Up set called Warm Wishes and added the "celebrate" to the bottom of the card.  The only embellishments added were then some tiny bling gems to finish it off.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.

After printing the image onto Neenah white cardstock, I colored everything using my Ohuhu markers before stippling some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink using a blending brush then layered the image.  I then glue some die cuts and punched sea life before highlighting the water using stickles glitter glue.  The final touches were some yellow bling flower centers and stamping a long retired Stampin Up saying.  I'm really happy with how this turned out especially since I'm dealing with yet another migraine and fibromyalgia flare up.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by Lawn Fawn.  I would like to thank them for their sponsorship for this week's challenge. My project this week is an ATC using Lawn Fawn's Flamingo Together mini set.  I love this mini because it reminds me so much of days at the Monterey Aquarium, and Chaffee Zoo, when my kids were little.  The whole ATC is made using scraps.

 

Using scraps, I stamped the main image panel, colored the flamingos before layering and adding some faux brads.  I then created the "beach sand" by dotting 3 different colors of Copic markers.  The final touch was a small floral spray, punched from scraps, with bling centers.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by StarStampz. For my card, I am using the Polar Bear digital image.

I started out by printing the image onto Neenah white card stock before pulling out my Castle Arts watercolor pencils, colored the image before blending with an alcohol marker.  After edging the image in memento tuxedo black ink, I layered it before adding white brads and distressing the edges then setting aside.  My card is dry embossed using a Sizzix© snowflake embossing folder with Stampin Up bliss blue ink rubbed lightly over the embossed images and sides.  Taking some snowflake felt fusion I've had for years, I added a border of individual snowflakes before adding my layered image using pop up glue dots.  The final embellishments were white/silver bakers twine, snowflake sequins, silver star stickers and ice stickles glitter glue.  As an afterthought, I added just a touch of white gel pen to the little girl's eyes.

Once I had printed it out at 3.5x5, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers then layered and added some white dove brads.  I then adhered it to a navy blue card before adhering a small white bow using glue dots then highlighted the colored image using ice stickles.  Inside my card, I used an old Hero Arts Christmas saying.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  This week we're being sponsored by Lawn Fawn.  I would like to thank them for their sponsorship. I've been feeling pretty crummy the last few weeks, so I decided to CASE (copy and share everything) myself for this week's card.

I started out by stamping the fireplace, rug and Christmas tree on scrap Neenah white card stock before stamping everything else on scrap card stock to use later.  After I colored it all using both my prismacolor and copic markers, I lightly stippled some Stampin Up ruby red ink around the edges before stippling some Altenew lagoon ink around the edges over the ruby red ink using my blending brushes from Picket Fence Studios.  I then fussy cut all of the smaller images out then adhering them using my Bearly Art glue.  I then layered the image panel and added green brads before adhering the layered panel to my de-bossed card before stippling Stampin Up spruce ink around the edges.  After adding the "dream bubbles" using pop dots , I added crystal ice stickles to highlight parts of the images and some poinsettia drew drops I found in my stash.  I'm pretty please with how it turned out considering I'm still dealing with a sinus infection with bronchitis for the last few weeks.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day!

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we are being sponsored by Lawn Fawn.  I would like to thank them for their sponsorship for this week's challenge.  My card today uses the adorable Winter Alpaca stamp set and the matching die here along with a bunch of snippets.  In fact, with the exception of the card base, the entire card is made using a few snippets here...a few snippets there. ;) 

I started out by stamping my alpacas in memento tuxedo black ink onto scrap paper then colored using both Prismacolor and Copic markers before die cutting and setting aside.  I then took some scrap designer paper and added it to a red card before cutting a couple of "hills" from scrap Neenah card stock before stippling Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink then adding to my card.  After die cutting some Sizzix medium pine trees (retired) from scrap card stock using my Big Shot, I painted a little bit of white paint on the bottom of the trees, after stippling some wild wasabi ink on them then adding them to my card.  After popping up my alpacas, and stamping some snowflakes, I stamped the saying before cutting it apart to add.  Once I added some crystal ice stickles, my card was finished.  I'm just about done making my Christmas cards for this year and since it's been so hot here, I think I'll just start on next years and dream of a White Christmas.
