Have A FABULOUS Day!

Oh happy day everyone!!

I am jumping on here quick to share a fun card I made using the Inkon3 Dogwood Flower stamp set.  I am a sucker for a good flower, and the Dogwood trees are one of my favorites. 

I colored the whole image on Bristol with Karin Pro Brush Markers and a water brush.

It is a pretty straight forward 4x4 square card.  I added a diagonal stripe to the left side of the card.  Stamped my sentiment in the bottom right, which is three stamps btw. I popped my Dogwood Flower up with foam tape and then finished it off with Liquid Pixie Dust and enamel dots.

Here is a close up of the Liquid Pixie Dust.  It is always so hard to photography the shimmer.  Trust me it sure SHIMMERS!!

Here is one more of the finished card!!  Thank you so much for stopping by and spending a little time out of your day with me!!!

Until next time ... Hugs & inky fingers!!

Ai - You Make Me Laugh Challenge

Hello!!

I am back again sharing another card for the Art Impressions 
Challenge ... This week it is; You Make Me Laugh Challenge. 

I am using the new Dance It Out Laugh Lines  and the Be Happy Laugh Lines set. 

Aren't these two just the cutest ever?  I made them dancing.  They are still hopping along even after all these years together.  I had to use both Laugh Lines stamp sets ... Be Happy & Dance It Out.

I started by creating my scene.  I colored my sky darker on the outer edges, getting lighter toward the middle of the card.  I drew how I wanted my hill with pencil and used a really light green to color my hill first. I followed with my grass; which is three shades of green. I added my sentiment "You don't stop dancing when you get old ... You get old when you stop dancing."

I stamped and cut out my people.  My lady is from the Be Happy set.  My gentleman is from the Dance it Out stamp set.  I Copic colored them.  I made my gentleman's shit a plaid and my woman's dress a polka dot dress.  I absolutely LOVE how they turned out. 

To add them to my card I glued the bottom half of them to the card base. The top half I added with foam tape to make them appear as if they are dancing off the page. Do you have a favorite?  The woman or the man?  I can't pick ... they both are adorable.

Here is one more look at my finished card.  I hope you have enjoyed my take on the You Make Me Laugh Challenge. I had so much fun with this card.  I will definitely be making more things with this set. Please head over to the Ai blog and play along ... you could win a fabulous prize.  Have a great day!

Ai - The Possumbilities Are Endless

Hello!!

I am over on the Art Impressions blog today sharing a card I made using the new Possum stamp set from Art Impressions.  

I started with some kraft card stock for my card base.  I trimmed my white panel with a frame of black around it to make the kraft and white paper pop.  

I stamped my Possum on the bottom right corner of the white panel.  I Copic colored him.  I added a shadow with my Copics to give him a little dimension. 

I finished my card off with some crystal gems.  I arranged them in a swirl.  I thought it was fitting with my sentiment ... "The Possumbilities are Endless."

Here is one more look at the finished card. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and spending a little time with me, stop back again soon.  Make sure you head on over to the Ai blog soon and see what the team has been up to.

PBP & HAI Supply Collaboration

I am so excited to be participating in the blog hop with Pear Blossom Press and HAI Supply. I knew I wanted to use my Oh Snap stamp and die set from Concord & 9th.

As you can see above, this is a multi step interactive card.  Below I will show you how  I made this card. 

I started by inlaying a piece of the Japanese Handmade Washi Paper to my card base.

I Copic colored my camera. I added a Clear Droplet to the flash portion of my stamped image.  I poked a hole in the paper before I glued my droplet down because that is where my EZ Light is going to go.

From here attach your EZ Light with tape after you have threaded it through the back of your card. 

Make sure you test your EZ Light before you go and glue your panel down!

Tape all your wires and your battery pack where they belong.  Add foam tape around the perimeter so everything will lay flush when attached. Attach to your card base and you are finished.  

I finished off my card front with some more of the Clear Droplets from HAI Supply.  I absolutely love how it all turned out, from the EZ Light flash using the Clear Droplet  to the Polaroid pull down. 

I had to decorate the inside to match the card front.  I used both the Black & White Diagonal Stripe Washi Tape and the a piece of the Japanese Handmade Washi Paper.

Here is one more look at the finished card.  I hope you enjoyed my take on the EZ Lights from Pear Blossom Press and the elements of HAI Supply.
