Giant Cake!

TGIF!

TGIF the weekend is almost here! It's my post for Art Impressions today and I wanted to try something different than colouring with my Copic markers! I decided to use the Giant Cake set, some white ink and embossing powder. If you need a quick card this is the technique to use! Sometimes using your markers takes a bit of time but this was super fast!

I love decorating the inside of my cards as it just seems to finish off the whole design!

I filmed a video if you want to see the process. Excuse any dogs barking LOL, it always seems they bark as soon as I start filming!

Have a great weekend and Happy Stamping!

Sally Swimmer!

Happy Weekend everyone!

For Today's post over on the One Crazy Stamper blog I am sharing with you a card made using the Art Impression stamp set called "Sally Swimmer". When I first saw this image I burst out laughing! She's quite the character isn't she? I think she must be a true child at heart LOL!

The paper is from the Bo Bunny Lemonade collection. I love the bright colours of this collection! I added twine and charms on both of these cards. I'm loving enamel dots right now and the gumdrops from Your Next Stamp are wonderful! The sentiment on the front of the card comes with the Sally Swimmer set!

Here's a look at the inside of my card. The sentiment is another Ai stamp called "Style".

Copics used:

Skin E00, E11, R20, RV25

Tube: Y11, Y13, Y15, YR14, YG23, YG25

Goggles, earrings & flippers: YG21, YG23, YG25

Bathing suit: RV04, RV06, RV09, white Uni ball pen polka dots

Sand: E30, E31, E33

Shadow around image: B000

You still have time to enter into our current Challenge for April called "Anything Goes".

We'd love for you to play along and I'd love to see what you come up with!

Happy crafting!

Ai New Release Water Color Mini's

Hi Everyone!

Today is a new release day over at Art Impressions of the Water Color Mini's. This is a first for me.....water colouring and let me tell you it was way out of my comfort zone LOL. After many attempts and a garbage can full of crumpled paper this is the final image I came up with.  I am using the new stamp set called "Spring Basket". 

I don't own any water color markers so I used Tim Holtz Distress ink and water. I stamped the basket and using a tiny bit of water, spread the ink around. Then I masked off the basket with a post it note and added the leaves and branches. Once again a bit of water on my brush and I spread the ink around again.

It's hard to see but the background is a very light blue. For this, before I started stamping my image I used a pan pastel and lightly added it to my water colour paper to make it look like sky. Then I sprayed some pastel fixative over top and let it dry before I started water colouring.

I left a sentiment off the inside of my card so you can use it for any occasion! 

I'm not sure I'm in love with water colour painting but maybe with more practice I will come to love it!

I almost forgot.... Today also starts a new challenge called "April showers/ May flowers". 

Head on over to the Ai Blog and see what the other DT members did and link your entry! 

Happy Stamping!
