Aged To Perfection!

Hello Ai Fans!

Today starts the second Challenge week over on the Art Impressions Blog called "In with the new"! You know that stamp you bought recently for that one project you haven't made yet.....? Well now is the perfect chance to use it! This challenge is all about using your newest stamp in a creation! I'm using my new set that you can only get at Michaels called Wine Diva's. The set comes with 2 images and 6 sentiments all in clear rubber.

 I chose papers from Penny Black's Painted Blooms 6x6 collection. I also am using my newest die from MFT called Zig Zag Stitched Ovals. I decided to paper piece the arm chair and coloured the rest with my Copic Sketch markers. A bit of Tim Holtz Distress ink in Antique photo on all my paper edges helped to make everything "pop"! 

I love the sentiments that come with this set! The die on the inside is called "Sweetheart Border" by Cottage Cutz.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, R20, RV17

Hair: E42, E43, E44, E47

Dress & Headband: R02, R21, R22

Wine Glass: R46, R59, B000

I look forward to seeing what you create for this new Challenge!

Happy Stamping!

Skateboard Dude!

For my post today for High Hope Stamps I am sharing with you a card I made using the stamp called Gabriel Loves To Skateboard! I love all the images in the new release called All About Boys! I don't think I could choose a favourite! 

 I decided on papers from Bazill Basics Dino-Mite 6x6 collection. I got out an old Spellbinder I had called Star Circles to layer behind Gabriel. Using Tim Holtz's Vintage Photo Distress ink, I inked all the edges of my papers. The sentiment is from the Sentiment #3 set. A bit of twine and a few brown Gumdrops in the corners and my card was done!

I left the inside blank for now until I go to use the card then I will stamp a sentiment for whatever occasion it is for.

Petunia Gets A Piggy Back!

Happy Day!

It's Saturday so it's my turn to post for One Crazy Stamper. Stamping Bella had a new release recently and Lora got a shipment of them in her store! I think this stamp called "Petunia Gets A Piggy Back" has to be my favourite!

I made this gate fold type of card from white cardstock. I layered all the "flaps" with paper from Pink Paislee's Bella Rouge collection. I used a magnetic snap on the pink and black  polka dotted piece and the card base to help keep the card closed. I added a piece of ribbon that you can use to open the card. Of course for me nothing is complete until I add some glitter, so Stickles to the yellow balls on their headbands and clear Wink of Stella to the frilly part of her dress.

I love this sentiment that comes with the stamp! "I know when I met you that and adventure was going to happen"!
