Happy Birthday!

Hi Ai Fans!
Todays card is using the "29 Again" stamp set from Art Impressions! Unfortunately at my age the "29 Again" is all too familiar LOL! I just love this gal and am so glad I finally broke down and got her. She's was on my wish list for quite awhile!
I haven't used my Simon Says Stamp Ring Frame for awhile and figured now was the perfect time to pull it out. I kept the background plain just using cardstock for my base and then cut the frame out 4 times with papers from the Julie Nutting Belle Vie 6x6 collection. This gave me lots to play with to fill in the rings. I love to pop up my images with foam squares to add another dimension to my cards. 
On the inside I stamped the image again using Distress Ink in Victorian Velvet and used the sentiment from the set inside of a speech bubble die.
Copics Used:
Skin: E00, E21, E95, R20, R35
Hair: E43, E44, E47
Dress & Balloons: R30, R32, R35
Apron: C0, C1
Ground: C00, C0, C01
Outline: B000


Thanks for stopping by!

Just Married

Hello!
Look at this cute couple!!! They are part of the High Hopes Stamps Spring 2016 release and just in time for "wedding season". This stamp is called "Just Married" and you can also purchase the matching SVG File to cut around your image with your electronic die machine.
I was inspired by my talented friend Natalie! She does a lot of Vintage looking creations and I wanted to give it a try as well. I inked all the edges of the Design paper and cardstock with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I added lace and a lace type flower that I also inked the edges of. I added a doily behind the image and popped it up with foam squares for more dimension. The little sentiment is from a paper collection I had in my stash. To keep with the Vintage themed colours I challenged myself to use only Copic Markers from the Earth tones.
To help keep the card upright and from sliding I fashioned a little piece of cardstock and attached it to both sides of the Easel Card.
Copics Used:
Skin: E00, E21, E93, E95
Hair: E04, E07, E09 / E43, E44, E47
Dress & Veil: E50, E000, 0
Tux & Hat: E50, E51, E53, E55
Bow & hat strip: E04, E07, E09
Car: E81, E84, E87, E89
Tires: E44, E47, E49
Flowers: E95, E99

Slam Dunk!

Happy Tuesday!
Here's another super cute image from the new High Hopes Spring 2016 release! This super fly guy is called "Slam Dunk". I know lots of young fellows this card would be perfect for! 
The Doodlebug Slam Dunk 6x6 Designer paper pad is perfect for this card or any Basketball themed project! I cut out the "Slam Dunk" image using the matching SVG files you can purchase to go with the stamp and using the MISTI stamped him perfectly! I love the black, grey and orange combinations in this pad and finished off the card using some Your Next Stamp Gumdrops!
I love to pop up my images to add interest and dimension to my cards!
On the inside I just used more items form the Designer paper pad.
