Birthday Hat set!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday everyone! Today is my turn to post on the Art Impressions Blog! I am sharing a card with you made using the Art Impressions Birthday Hat set (#4373) This Lady just cracks me up every time I look at her! She is just so pleased with herself and her outfit!

I used a pre-made 4x5.5" card and when you add the decorative frame it turns out to be a 6x5.5" card! I decided to paper piece her dress in matching paper. I am in love with the yellow, grey and black colour combinations that you see a lot of these days! The Authentique  Classique Beauty 6x6 pad is full of these colours! It's become one of my favourite paper collections!

The sentiment on the inside comes with the stamp set.

 Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, R20, RV17

Hair: E23

Yellows: Y21, Y26

Greys: C0, C1, C3

I added Diamond Stickles to the cake and some silver Wink of Stella on her jewellery, shoes, purse and cake.

Don't forget to enter into our current  Challenge over on the Ai Blog called "Lovely Ladies".

It's always fun to visit the  Ai online store , I could spend hours there looking at all the stamps! Why don't you head on over and see what's available?

Happy Stamping!

Gabriel's A Border!

Another new release image!

Oh my goodness, this High Hopes Stamps new release is so exciting! Last week we did "sneak peeks" but now all the images are live in the High Hopes Stamps online store! I am loving all of the stamps aren't you? Today I am sharing with you "Gabriel's A Border". I just love this guy and you can see the pure happiness on his face from his smile! He kind of reminds me of my Nephew so I'll likely be giving this card to him at Christmas!

One of my favourite Winter colour schemes is blue and brown so I knew I had to make this card using Bo Bunny's Powder Mountain collection! It's an older collection but perfect for this card. I coloured Gabriel with my Copic Sketch markers in colours to coordinate with the design papers. 

On the inside I used a stamp from the Sentiment Set #1 (U500) and embossed the inked image with clear embossing powder.

Copics used:

Skin: E00, E11, R20

Hair: E43, E44, E47

Blue items: B91, B93, B95, B97

Grey items: C1, C3, C5

Beige items: E30, E31, E33

Air swooshes: B000

I used these ticket stubs from my stash and added a triple looped bow to them. I also added some small flower sequins to the image to look like snowflakes.

Play In The Puddles

Happy May!

I can't believe it's May already! Hopefully the April showers will bring May flowers! For my post today over at the One Crazy Stamper blog, I am sharing with you a card I made using a High Hopes stamp called "Mary Angel"! Mary is adorable and she reminds me of my girls when they were little! They always loved to play in the  puddles!

I love the bright colours and spring themed paper from the EP Sunny Days Ahead collection! They were perfect for this card. The design is simple with only a layered rectangle, circle and a border called "mini double dots border". I used Liquid pearls to make some raindrops, added Clear wink of Stella to the puddle and some sequins to embellish my card. I also used a white paint pen and added polka dots to the umbrella and rain boots.

I had an umbrella stamp and die that fit perfectly with this theme! The sentiment is also from High Hopes Stamps and is called "Play In Puddles". It matches this stamp perfectly!

Copics used:

Skin: E00, E02, R20

Hair: E43, E44, E47

Coat & hat: Y11, Y13, Y15

Boots & umbrella:  R21, R22, R24

Pants & umbrella: BG11, BG13, BG15

Puddle: BG0000, BG000, BG01
