I Ink you're Great!

Hello everyone!!! 

It's Niccole, back again to share another card I made using one of The Rabbit Hole Designs stamp sets. I am up over on their blog today.  Head over and give them some love.

For today's card I used the newly release stamp set called Inky.

How to create this card:

• A2 sized card base in black
• Stamped my ink splatter in rainbow order on the bottom first
• Flipped the card base and stamped again to match the opposite side
• Trimmed my stamped images down 1/4" all around 
• Trimmed extra off the sides to make the black show more on the sides
• Glue white stamped image and white strips down
• Stamped sentiment and framed it with black
• Add sentiment to card with foam tape 
• Add jewels in a random pattern

Here is one more of the full card ...

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.

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 ...

Hello Spring Chicken!

Hello Ai fans!!

I am up on the Art Impressions blog today  sharing a card I made with the Spring Chicken set from Art Impressions!  I just love this set!  It is a lot of fun!

I started by layering my navy card base with a red poppy layer to create a frame. I die cut my green paper and set it aside.

I cut my watercolor paper down so the red paper framed it.  From there I used my ink and stenciled on my clouds.  I love how soft the clouds look when you make them this way. I glued my clouds down on the red paper and then added the green grass to the bottom.

I colored my chicken with my Copics.  I fussy cut it out and added it to my card. I glued the bottom portion and used foam tape on the top half of the chicken. I figured I would add numerous layer of Wink Of Stella to my springs to make them stand out instead of coloring those tiny areas.  

Here is one more look at the whole card. I finished it off with some colored gems.  I love how easy this card was to make but yet it looks more difficult that it really is. 

Thank you so much for stopping by.  We will see you again soon!

The Rabbit Hole Designs - Inky

Are you ready for day 2 of The Rabbit Hole Designs August release?

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

They released 2 new stamp sets; one yesterday

and one today are being featured.  This month they really knocked it out of the park in my opinion. 

Today's stamp set I am using is called Inky. 

I do have 2 cards to share with you today using the Inky stamp set.

Here is a look at the images of the stamp set:

Inky

Here is my first card ..

.

I decided I wanted to a one layer card for this one.  I stamped my octopus first.  I then stamped y teal colored ink marks.  I like the sentiment "I ink you're great" so I stamped that in the upper left corner.

I finished it my Copic coloring my octopus.  I love how she turned out.  I finished the card off with some mirrored gems.  

My second card ...

I started by layering some red and my top panel in white to my black card base.  I stamped my sentiment first and then my black smaller ink bots.

I stamped my octopus in the center of my card.  I was going to color him but I like how just adding Wink of Stella to his suction cups looked.  The only thing I wish I would have did differently is stamping to octopus first and my sentiment last.  Live and learn ... plus I think I will still send it. Any mistake is fixable.

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

I hope you like what I have done with my two cards!  Now onto all of the good stuff ...

The Rabbit Hole Designs - Sassy

Are you ready for The Rabbit Hole Designs August release?

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

They are releasing 2 new stamp sets over

the next 3 days and you do not want to miss out on third day ...TRUST ME, I'm just sayin'!

Today's stamp set is called Sassy. 

I do have 2 cards to share with you today using the Sassy stamp set.

Here is a look at the images in the set:

Sassy

Here is my first card ...

I trimmed down by top layer and I ink blended over my stencil.  I attached it to my colored card base.  I stamped my sentiment twice off center to give it a shadow like appearance.

I water-colored my unicorn and fussy cut him out.  I attached him to my card with foam tape.  I finished it off with some Liquid Pixie Dust.  Man I LOVE that stuff.  Doesn't it just shimmer?

My second card ...

My water -colored piece was the starting point for this card.  You can see the rest of my water-colored panel in a couple day (pssst its gorgeous.)  I added some silver glitter paper to the top and bottom of my water-colored piece.  I added at a diagonal for some visual texture to my card.  I stamped my sentiments at an angle to coincide with the rainbow water-colored panel.

I Copic colored my unicorn, added Liquid Pixie Dust to her and raised her up with foam tape.

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

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