Nothing like playing with Newton's Nook 
stamps and die cuts. I used a cloud embossing
folder to make my sky and some green 
cardstock cut to shape like hills. I stamped
my adorable image and colored it with my Copics.
I used the matching die cut to cut out the image.
I raised it up using pop dots. I made a couple 
of tags out of y stamped sentiments. I added
some crystal lacquer on the puddle and finished.

Brighten Your Day

I enjoyed making this card because sunshine
can brighten anyone's day. AND, so began 
this card.
I used a set of stamps from Lawn Fawn. I 
wanted to make a card for a lady on my
Meals On Wheels route. She is affected greatly
by lack of sun. Her physical health goes way 
down on gloomy days, which in WI there are 
many. So, I said good bye to her before I made
my way down here to Florida. This card was 
made especially for that sweet lady! I stamped
lots of suns to create my background.
They're colored using Copics and then I added
Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen over each sun.
The pic doesn't show the pretty shimmer.

I'm entering this card in the following 
challenges.

Another Day for Sympathy

Well...another loss of a friend's parent. A 
good friend of mine, that I haven't seen in over
40 years, let me know her mom passed away.
It's amazing how time can pass but not the 
affection a person feels towards friends that
have created good memories, including those
of parents. Jan's mom holds such a warm
spot in my heart and memories. Here is the 
card I mailed out today.
This is all about the fabulous paper and great
stamps from Crafter's Companion. I took 2
pieces of the pretty floral paper and cut out 
some flowers and raised them up for some 
lovely dimension. Sadly, the photo doesn't show
the lift but it turned out to be a great card. 
Stamped sentiment and complete. The inside
was some more layers of great papers, a
stamped sentiment, and a couple more cut flowers.

I'll be entering this card in the following challenge.

Sympathy Cards

It's always sad to make sympathy cards,
because I ONLY make them when I need
them. Boo hoo. Since I am in FL now I went
with two VERY simple cards. Two friends each
lost a parent recently, one mother and one father.
It doesn't matter the age, mental, or physical
condition of our parent, it's always a hole in
our hearts. So, these two cards took a blink
to make. My fave kind of card. A die cut 
sentiment from Crafter's Companion, and ribbon.
The cardstock makes it look like a lacy 
background. Sometimes paper is the key!
I'm entering these in the following challenges.

1901 is First PIP Challenge of 2019

Pammie's Inky Pinkies
Challenge 1901

Yippee! It's going to be a great year. I 
will say that I was SICK for more than 2 weeks
over Thanksgiving. In bed sick but I am back! So,
no matter how last year went, this year is a 
fresh slate. Let's make it amazing! 
Our sponsor is Star Stampz.
Here's my first card of the year
with a brand new sponsor!
This darling little image from Star Stampz was 
so much fun to color. I used Spectrum Noir
Sparkle pens for the flowers and dress while
I finished the coloring with Copic markers.
I raised the image with pop dots and some 
pretty ribbon. Finally the pretty background 
paper really added some pizzazz. A bit of 
layering and a sweet sentiment completed the card.
