Golfers card

Today is my day over on the Art Impressions blog, so I am bringing you my two favourite golfers (Golfers sku#CS3467).  I love the expressions on the faces of these two - they're all business.  And the fact that they're dressed to the nines - as every golfer should be.  I had fun paper piecing their outfits, and coloured them up with Copic markers:

The inside sentiment is :"Getting old is just a part of life...you go first."

Don't forget that our Anything Goes challenge is still on until Wednesday October 2nd at 5pm PST - you can find the details here (there are some pretty amazing prizes to win!).  We'll have a brand new challenge here on the blog on Thursday.

 

 



A Stair Step Card

I'm up on the Art Impressions blog today!

I have a stair-step card for you, featuring one of the Ai Clear sets: Golfers (sku#CS3467)

This is one of the less elaborate versions of a stair step card - (I know that my card is pretty busy!  But the design of the card itself is pretty simple).  Here's a bit more of a side view:

There are plenty of clear templates for stair step cards if you search for them on Pinterest.  My base is 5 1/2" x 10 1/2".  Up from the shorter side, score your base at 1 1/4", 2 1/2", 4 1/2", 6" and 8 1/4".

Here it is folded:

I coloured my golfers and cut them out in a circle shape, then zigzag stitched around them with my sewing machine.  While surfing through Pinterest, I also came up with the idea to create a little pennant banner over their heads, so I stamped the word "FORE"onto matted triangles, then used liquid glass to attach them to a string of Baker's Twine tied between two toothpicks:

I created a little putting green for the second stair, and glued the flag onto it, then glued the sentiment onto the first stair.  Here's a close up of those fabulous plus-4's that I paper pieced:

Happy stamping everyone!
