New Ai People!

I have always love the Ai People that Bonnie creates for Art Impressions.  They are releasing five new ladies today - all with a little attitude!  I am from a golfing family, so was excited to see 6080 - in the line up!

I stamped her along with her golf bag in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Cryogen paper, then coloured her up with Copic markers.  (I just happen to own a pink & black golf bag exactly like this...)  There are coordinating dies included in the set which I used to cut them out.

I created my background with three colours of cardstock, a Memory Box die that cut the golf skyline, and my Lawn Fawn hillside for the foreground.  I glued the golf bag to the background, then double layered the golfer to give her some stability, and popped her up with some 3D foam adhesive.  There are a bunch of sentiments in the set, so I picked "Still got it" and stamped it directly on the background with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Serving up some Love

My tennis-playing friend at work loves giving these out to her friends on their birthdays, so I made another card for her with 4529 Birthday Love Set from Art Impressions:

 I used the bright & fun Under the Sea papers from Doodlebug Designs to pick up the colours of her snazzy tennis outfit.  I coloured her with Copic markers and cut her out with a stitched rectangle die.

 Love her!

Happy stamping!

Birthday Love

I have a friend at work who brings me a coffee every time we work a Saturday together... and I bring her a card.  She's a tennis player, so I pulled out an old Art Impressions favourite - Birthday Love and put a couple of cards together.  They are both versions of what I've done with this set in the past, but worth sharing again:

 I really love that this background paper shows the words "poser" and "selfie"!

Patterned papers are Molly by Bella Blvd and Dotty by CTMH; Stamp set is Birthday Love by Art Impressions.  Copic markers.

New Ai People!

The Art Impressions Design Team are all sharing inspiration using the newly released Ai People, and Ai Girlfriends - I am sharing the fun Lifetime Set (Sku #4728):

 I really love these plaid papers from Lawn Fawn, and I knew that the colours would make wonderful balloon animals - so I coloured the image to match.

 The first one has the sentiment on the inside, along with a few stars.  On the second card, I made it into a speech bubble and popped it up:

One Crazy Stamper June Challenge

We're kicking off June with a whole bunch of inspiration for you on the One Crazy Stamper blog!  Our challenge is Anything Goes, just no digi stamps, please!  I am using one of the Ai People stamps from Art Impressions.  Here is Skinny Yet set:

I coloured her with my Copic markers (I love colouring spherical objects!), then popped her up on some 3D Foam adhesives, and paired her with these fun papers from Echo Park's Sweet Summertime line.  Be sure to visit the OCS blog to see what the rest of the DT has to share today, and you have all month long to play along with our challenge.  Here's what you can find in the OCS store:

Am I Skinny Yet?

 I have a card using one of the newest Ai People sets today, here is Skinny Yet Set (Sku #4672:

With such a busy background paper, I kept the rest of it fairly simple, with just a few die cuts as an embellishment.

I enjoyed colouring her up with my Copics - especially the excercise ball, it was a good chance to practise colouring a sphere.  I don't have an overly blended style of colouring, so it's a bit streaky, but I like the effect!  Don't forget that our current challenge on the Art Impressions blog is "Shake, Rattle & Roll" - we would love to see your creations with movement.

I am having loads of fun colouring up the latest Ai People from Art Impressions  - today I'm sharing a couple of cards using One to Brag Set (Sku #4668):

We actually got a few degrees above zero this weekend, so most of our snow has melted!  It put me in a springy mood... (even though winter is farrrr from over!), so I pulled out some pretty pastel papers that I've had for eons!
