Birthday Love!

I took a wee break from holiday cards to use a sketch from Sandy Allnock - using this fun tennis gal from Art Impressions.  I used the colours from these bright fall Lawn Fawn plaids as my inspiration:

 I used my sewing machine to stitch around my white panels, and the image & sentiment are both adhered with pop dots for a little added dimension.  It was great pulling out my Copics for a change!

Here is Sandy's sketch that I used:

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.

Birthday Love!

Hello everyone, It's my day to post on the One Crazy Stamper blog! I have a fun birthday card to share today, using Art Impressions Birthday Love Set (Sku#4529).  I thought her energetic pose deserved a bright & busy layout, so here's what I came up with:

 Don't forget that we have a brand new challenge on the OCS blog for January - the theme is blue, white & an embellishment.  Any products are welcome (but no digi stamps, please!) so be sure to link up your creations, there is a wonderful High Hopes prize pack up for grabs.
