Ai - Gingham Challenge

Hello Ai fans!!

I am back again to share another card showcasing the current challenge for Art impressions.  This one is the Gingham challenge. I using a new stamp set being released called Feast Mode.  It has a  bunch of adorable critter images and wonderful sentiments to go with it.

For this card I layered pattern paper which included the challenge ... Black and white gingham paper. I layered the red paper, followed by my gingham paper.  I trimmed down a couple strips of brown wood looking paper to add to the top and bottom of my gingham paper.

I colored my critter with my Copic markers.  Isn't it fun that there are so many fruits and veggies to color? I cut my glitter paper with one of the dies in the Banner Die Set.  I trimmed the same kraft paper to go behind my banner. I added my little critter to the bottom of the banner with foam tape. 

I stamped the sentiment Give Thanks on white card stock, trimmed it down and added it to my banner. I added the banner to my card.  I finished it off with crystal gems. 

I love how the pattern papers really make this card pop. Thank you so much for stopping by.  Please head on over to the Ai blog to participate in the gingham challenge.  you don't want the chance to win an awesome prize?

Ai - OUCH! Feel Better!

Hello Ai fans!!

I am up on the Art Impressions blog today sharing a card using the Doggy Kisses and Wine Divas stamp set. Head over to the blog and give them some love.

I did not intend to create a one layer card but sometimes the stamps decide for you what direction you are going with your card.  LOL Anyways ... I started by stamping my sentiments in the middle in black. I used the Ouch sentiment from Doggy Kisses stamp set and I used only part of the sentiment in Wine Divas for the feel better.  From there I randomly stamped the band-aid from the Doggy Kisses stamp set in rainbow colors.

I always find it hard to photograph Wink of Stella. Do you agree?  I added Wink of Stella to all the center of the band-aids for some texture to my one layer card.

I finished it off with Nuvo Drops in the same rainbow colors to give a lot more dimension to my one layer card.  I love how cheery this card ended up being.  A great pick me up card for someone hurt or injured.

Here is one more look at the complete card ...

Remember ... try and stretch you stamps out of the norm from what they were intended for, as there is no dog on this card as the stamp set would imply, just a general feel better card.

Like I said earlier sometime a one layer card is all you need to get your point across. Please stop back again soon and see what I have been up to.

Until next time ... Hugs & inky fingers!

Ai - Coffee Challenge

Hello Ai fans!!

I an here today with another challenge from Art Impressions. This one is a Coffee Challenge. I thought the Coffee BFF's were perfect for this.

I started by stamping my BFF image and coloring with Copics.  I added  green foil paper to frame my image. I set that aside. 

I knew I was using an A2 size card.  I layered some rainbow pattern paper on the top half of my card.  I then added a strip of green foil paper to divide the two spaces.

I stamped my sentiment on the bottom right corner of my card.  I added my BFF's at an angle on the card from.  To finish it off I added some crystal gems to the bottom and side of the card.  

Here is one more look at the whole card.  I love how bright and cheery it is.  It makes me smile to look at it and I know my best friend will love it as well.
  

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Make sure you play along with the current Art Impressions challenge ... you could win something awesome!

Happy Birthday to One Fabulous Chick!

Hello Ai fans!

I am up over on the Art Impression blog today, you should head on over and check it out and give some love!! I am sharing yet another card using the adorable Spring Chicken set.  I am on quite the chicken kick at the moment. 

I used the same navy card stock with a red frame. This time though I had some left over chicken feet for the recent Animal Challenge. I couldn't let the little feet go to waste. 

I masked out the "Oh Frap" that is on the coffee cup before I stamped my chicken. I wanted it to be a fabulous chicken for a birthday card without that sentiment.  I colored her with my Copics.  I fussy cut her out and applied her to my card with foam tape. 

I added Wink of Stella to the flower on her hat and her glasses.  I finished it off with a few yellow Nuvo Drops. 

Here is one more look at the finished card.  These chickens are my favorite at the moment.  I just love how cute they are.  They are versatile as well; you could use other sentiments with them.

The Rabbit Hole Designs - Diamond Flower Stencil

Are you ready for day 3 of The Rabbit Hole Designs August release?

I know I am!! This month is a great one!

They released 2 new stamp sets over

the last 2 days and day 3 is FINALLY here ... STENCILS! Can you say ... YAY! There are four new stencils being released.

Today's stencil I am using is called Diamond Flower. 

I do have 2 cards to share with you today using the Diamond Flower Stencil.

Here is a look at the images of the stencil:

Diamond Flower Stencil

Here is my first card ...

I started my water coloring a rainbow onto my water color paper.  I trimmed it down.  Once dried I tapped my stencil on top of the water colored panel.  I added Glitz Glitter Gel in black to the panel.  I set it aside for a few hours to dry.  I wanted to make sure not to ruin my water color panel. I white heat embossed my sentiment to the bottom right corner (not to take away from my panel.)

I added my dried panel to a slightly larger white panel and glued it to my black card base.  I absolutely LOVE how this card turned out.  Don't you just love how the black Glitz Glitter Gel shimmers?  I want to try black on black next.

My second card ...

I stenciled yellow directly onto my card front.  I stenciled a second card front with pink.  I die cut a circle from the pink panel.  I raised up the pink stenciled piece with foam tape onto my yellow stenciled card base.  I colored my Narwhal with Copics and fussy cut her out.  I adhered her to my card front with glue.  

As you can see I added Liquid Pixie Dust to her coffee in her cup.  I also added Liquid Pixie Dust to her eyes and to her horn.  I think Liquid Pixie Dust is quickly becoming my favorite accessory. I finished it off with a few pearl colored flat sequins.

Here they are together ... which is your favorite? 

I love how both of them turned out.  Now onto all of the good stuff ...
