My Top 5 of 2015!

Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Wow, I think this is the hardest post to do! How can I possibly pick 5 of my favourite Art Impression projects??? I love all their stamps and to only pick 5 is so hard! I have 52 favourites , one for each week of the year LOL! To help me I enlisted my family. I narrowed it down to 11 cards and then let them vote and what they thought were the top 5. 

Here we go in no particular order......

 Gordon Golfer set (#4325 )

Gladys & Thelma Set (#4211)

Val Set (#4212)

Girlfriends Picture Perfect Set (#4130)

Lil' Snowbird

Happy Tuesday!

Today I want to share with you a card I made using the High Hopes Stamps image called "Lil Snowbird"! What a super sweet stamp that can be used all Winter long!

I love this colour scheme in the Pebbles "Winter Wonderland" 6x6 paper collection! The colours are so non- traditional and I love the pink/ navy combination the most! I added Liquid Appliqué on the snow on the birdhouse and Crystal Stickles on the girl's dress. My embellishments for time are some YNS gumdrops, twine and die cut snowflakes from MFT. I added the HH sentiment called "Dot Warm Winter Wishes" up in  the right corner.

I think this year my favourite Christmas Sentiment Stamp is this one from High Hopes called "Glow of Christmas". 

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, R20

Hair: Y11, Y21, E53

Bird: B01, B02

Birdhouse: E41, E43, E44, E47

Pinks: R81, R83, R85, R89

Blues: B93, B97, B99

Holly: R89, YG61, YG63

Snow: B000

Crash!!!!

Hello OCS Fans!

Picture a big bang, crash, breaking glass....... then look at my card for today's post! The High Hopes Stamp called "Wasn't Me" is the perfect stamp for any cat lovers out there! Christmas trees and cats, hmmmm do they go together? LOL! 

I grabbed some paper from my stash that I needed to use up and inked all the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo. After stamping my image I coloured it in with my Copic Sketch markers. The ornaments have Glossy Accents on them. After I added some Burlap ribbon and YNS gumdrops my card was finished. The sentiment I made on my computer to reflect the stamps name.

On the inside the sentiment is also from High Hopes and is called "Holiday All Year".

Copics Used:

Cat: E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, E47, R20

Tree: G20, G21/ G82, G24/  G46, G28
