March One Crazy Stamper challenge

Yes, it's the beginning of another month!  And that means that the Design Team over on the One Crazy Stamper blog are all sharing inspiration with you today to kick off our March challenge.  The theme is Anything Goes, so be sure to link up your creations before the end of the month.  I have one of the Art Impressions Girlfriends stamps called At The Movies Set:

 I stamped the ladies with my Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and coloured them up with Copic markers.  Both the image and sentiment are raised on pop dots.  I die cut a little film strip to slip behind them.  *The horizontal stripe near the bottom, is actually a silver metallic adhesive strip - it just doesn't show up to be very shiny in the photo.  I added a few YNS Gumdrops to finish things off.

At The Movies Teacher's Gift

I'm very excited to have my inaugural post on the Art Impressions blog today! I had a lot of fun making my project this week... with the end of the school year upon us, I decided to make a thank you gift set that would be great to give to a teacher. I used the fabulous At The Movies Set -(sku#4237) from the Girlfriends Collection to make the card, then a matching gift card holder for a movie theatre gift card, and finally a cute little popcorn holder that I'll wrap up in cellophane to complete the gift.

I used the lovely Schoolhouse papers from October Afternoon, which inspired my Copic colour choices for the cute Flick Chicks image.  I used my sewing machine to zigzag my background pieces onto my card base.

Before I started, I cut out all of my die cut pieces using my Cricut Artiste cartridge (M key!) which had the cute little popcorn holder, gift card and film strip.  I assembled the popcorn holder and gift card keeper adding a few accents of coordinating paper to finish them off.  I had a great time doing my little photo shoot, and had to be careful not to get any greasy popcorn on my projects!  Here are the Copics that I used to colour up the gals:
