It's your Birthday ~ Art Impressions

There is still time to play in our current challenge over on the Art Impressions blog.

For our current challenge we want to see cards with sentiments only on them. No other stamping is allowed.

For my card I created a small 4 x 4 square. I stamped the "celebrate" all over the kraft cardstock using versamark ink and embossed it using Zing Opaque White. Next I stamped the sentiment from "Hog Wild Birthday" on the vellum using versamark ink and Zing Powder.

I then cut a fishtail banner and sewed it onto my card before doing the final assembly. I added some wood dots by My Minds Eye and it was done. A quick and easy card.

I think coming up with the design took longer than making the actual card.

Stop over at the Art Impressions blog today and check out what the rest of the design team created for this challenge.

Big Birthday ~ NEW Zoo Crew Launch

It's a big day over on the Art Impressions blog. Today we are Launching some new Zoo Crew stamps.

We also have a challenge running which is "Big Birthdays"! 

For my card today I am using 'deep breath birthday'.

Don't you just love that little Blowfish?

I used my watercolor paints to color my image today as well as the pink on the fishtail banner. To get the shading on the image I made sure that each color was dry before going onto the next color. Once I was finished I added glossy accents to his eyes, the bubbles and candles to give it a little more dimension.

I sewed the banner down and then attached the image to my card base using foam squares.

Make sure you head over to the Art Impressions blog and check out the other NEW Zoo Crew!

It's okay... Ai "use a doily" challenge

Have you checked out our current challenge over at the Art Impressions blog?

Yep, we want to see you use a doily on your card. I love adding doilies so was really happy to see this challenge.

For my card I used the Jumbo Dancer image along with  the Jealous Too sentiment. I colored her with copic markers and then paper pieced her dress, hat and purse using papers from the BasicGrey Highline collection. The doily is from my stash of course I had to do a little sewing on the side of it and the enamel dots are by My Minds Eye.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and checking out my card. I hope to see you play along with us on this challenge at the Art Impressions blog.
