Tickled Pink Stamps Sponsors Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog

Hello, my blogland friends! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far! I was lucky enough to be able to have a crafty play date with my good friend, Jazzy T, on Friday. We often do more chatting than card making, but it's all good! This time we discussed her starting up her own blog. She is a talented natural at paper crafting, and I thought it was time she show the world. Please check out her new blog, Wasted Scraps, and leave her some love or become a follower.

I did manage to get a card made, too! Today I'm sharing a creation I made for Tickled Pink Stamps' sponsorship of the Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog. The theme is Valentines. I have used one of the adorable Lil Haunting images from their Lil Pinkette collection. Her name is Fairy Coraline and I love how versatile she is! I have used her for Halloween and Christmas already and now here she as a sweet Valentine. She is colored with a combination of Copics and Prismacolor Art Markers. I seem to love to fussy cut my images and have done that here before using some foam squares to pop her up. This fabulous paper is called Union Square from Michaels' Recollections line. I loved the sentiment printed on this sheet and knew I wanted to use it as my background. The striped strip is from a DCWV stack called Downtown Loft. Her wings are coated with copper Stickles, and I've added a distressed doily plus some flowers and pearl flourishes from my stash. The XO is a Making Memories brad.

Please head over to the Tickled Pink Stamps blog to see what my amazing teamies have to share with you! And if you want to play along for your chance to win a fabulous Tickled Pink Stamps prize, link your Valentines project over at Paper Sundaes!

Markers used: Copics (E11, E21, E00, E13, E15, E31, E25, E27, E34, R27, R29, R20) and Prismacolor Art Markers (150, 151, 152).

Tickled Pink Stamps Sponsorship: Creative Inspirations

Hello! I bet some of you are scratching your head, thinking "But it's Tuesday..." I know that I rarely post anything at the beginning of the week, but today I'm here to share a Tickled Pink Stamps sponsorship with you! TPS is sponsoring Creative Inspirations this week, and the challenge is, you guessed it - a sketch! So you know I couldn't pass it up! Nor could I pass up the opportunity to make another fun Halloween card (This makes 10 in my stash for this year so far)! My adorable image is Lil Haunting Witch Audrey from Tickled Pink Stamps' Lil Pinkette line. And she is the rubber version too! *gasp* I do own her as a digi, but TPS owner/{PINK} goddess Kellie was so kind as to send her to me as a special birthday treat earlier this month since she knows how much I love Halloween. So how could I not ink her up?!?!

My papers are from a DCWV pad (The Midnight Spell stack), and I kept my embellishments rather simple. Just a few flowers (Recollections and Prima), some brads and ribbon from my stash, and a line of black pearls. The sentiment was created with stickers because I decided to add it after my image was already adhered, and I didn't want to risk stamp and ink at that point. lol To match my paper theme I used the Martha Stewart spider web punch for the element in the upper left-hand corner.

You'll want to take a peek at what some of the other amazing {PINK} ladies have created using this sketch so go on over to the Tickled Pink Stamps blog. We hope that our projects will inspire you to join in the fun at Creative Inspirations! Thanks for stopping by! Have a fabulous day!

Tickled Pink Stamps Preview Day 6 Spinks and Spooks Collection - Lil Pinkette Haunting Pirate Patrick

Welcome to Day 6 of the Tickled Pink Stamps Spinks and Spooks Collection preview extravaganza! What do you think so far? I adore Halloween so I am in my glory with this release! Only two more previews left and then you'll be able to own these spook-tacular images for your very own! And bonus! Digi Days start on the 15th of every month, which is the day these get released so you'll have your choice of rubbber or digital!

Today we are featuring Lil Haunting Pirate Patrick from the Lil Pinkette line. He looks very dashing with his eye patch and goatee! I happen to love pirate themed images so I was excited to see him! He is colored in my usual manner - Copics and Prismacolor Art Markers - and popped up on 3D dots above the treasure map and netting. I used papers from My Mind's Eye and raided my stash of embellies to see what I could use. I ended up with a couple of vintage looking brads and one shaped like an anchor. I used just a piece of a rhinestone flourish and put black rhinestones around the circle mat I cut with my Nesties to give the look of a portal. All of the Kraft layers are edge distressed and sponged to give them an aged look. The sentiment is from an Inkadinkado mini set I've had for a couple of years now and never used. It's always so much fun to find the perfect thing you were looking for in your stash, though! So next time someone asks me why I'm buying something, I'll just smile knowingly. Because even if an immediate use isn't apparent, I know it'll come in handy someday!

My layout is sketch #67 from Sunday Sketch & Stamp. This challenge runs for two weeks so you still have plenty of time to play along if you are so inclined.

You WILL want to head over to the Tickled Pink Stamps blog and check out the rest of the design teams amazing creations! Plus as always, Kellie, the very generous owner of TPS, has a prize up for grabs and all you have to do is leave on comment on the preview blog posts! Who knows? You might win your favorite image for free!

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a fabulous day!
