Art Impressions challenge

Good morning!

Today I'm entering Art Impressions challenge: birthday cards. I made this birthday card using Lindy Stamp Gang magical powder and Art Impressions' Birthday whoot stamp. I added few sequins and colored the stamp with Copic. With these colors, I finally manage to do a masculine card. :)

Thanks for visiting my blog today. Please leave me a comment, I love to read them.

Art Impressions challenge

Good morning,

Here is a card I made for Art Impressions' Vibrant Colors challenge. I used the Five Whoots stamp, it's one of my all-time favorite, I used it so many times I wish there was a die for this one.

I covered the tree and the branch with white embossing powder so it looks like snow. I also emboss the sentiment with white powder.

I fussy cut the hoots and added Stickles on their pom pom.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. Please leave me a comment, they are always appreciated.

Holiday card in summer !

Hello!!!

I thought doing a holiday card would refresh me ha ha! It's so hot these days. And we never have too many holiday cards right?

So I did this card with two Art Impressions stamps I had: Five whoots and Grove of trees H-895. I masked the hoots before stamping the trees. I colored them with Spectrum Noir markers and added Stickles on their hats, snow hills and the trees for more sparkle! The tree is a die cut which I partially covered with white embossing powder. The hoots and the sentiment were embossed with gold powder.

I'm submitting my card to these challenges:
- Art Impressions: Layer it on me
- SSS Wednesday challenge: Mask it

Sparkle birthday card

Hello,

Yesterday, I made a birthday card using my Giant Cake stamp from Art Impressions. I colored the stamp with Spectrum Noir markers and used a lot of Stickles to add more sparkle on the candles, the hats and of course, the cake!

Hello,

It's time to party, I just made another birthday card with the great stamp Party Girls from Art Impressions. These girls are having fun! I colored the stamping with Spectrum Noir markers and added Stickles on the balloons and the confetti. I attached my cardstock on a turquoise cardstock with 4 metal brads. On the right border, I used a candle punch on which I also added some yellow Stickles. I mounted my turquoise cardstock with 2D foam for more dimension. On my background, I used 3 different patterned papers mounted on yellow cardstock.

Watercolor birthday

Hello,

Today, I'm finally trying watercolor technique with my Distress inks, after all these years. It wasn't easy, had to start many times over, but I finally made it!

I first colored the cat with my Tombow markers and blended the colors together with water. I also added some white fur on his belly with a white pen (but the picture doesn't show it much unfortunately). For my background and the balloons, I made 2 water color backgrounds using many Distress inks. I stamped 5 times the Party girls stamp, but only the portion with the balloon. I cut it out and draw some patterns with a black pen on 3 of them.  For my balloons, I used the ink pads but then, for my background I used the reinkers and thought this was much easier. My colors are much more vibrant! Once it was dry, I glued my balloons and the cat, and draw the twines. I stamped my sentiment (Happy Birthday) with purple ink and embossed it in clear.

I'm submitting my card to these challenges:
- Art Impressions challenge 180 - Watercolor and white pen
- Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge: Cute and Cudly
- Seize the birthday: The great divide

Material used:
- Stamps: Feline Flop (Art Impressions), Party Girls (Art Impressions), Joyeux anniversaire (Magenta)
- Inks: black soot, fired brick, wild honey, dusty concord, tumbled glass, mustard seed, barn door (Distress inks), Imperial purple (Versafine)
- White pen (Signo uni-ball)
- Watercolor paper

Party time!

Hi!

I made another shaker card, using the same technique as yesterday, recycling a coca-cola box and a plastic packaging instead of using an acetate. For this card, I cut out 2 ladies and the 3 balloons out of the Party Girls stamp. For more dimension, I put one lady inside the shaker and another one outside. I colored them with Spectrum Noir markers. I covered the balloons with Stickles. I put the sequins inside and closed everything. Voilà!

A recycled shaker card

Hello!

Last night I made a birthday card for my brother. This is my second shaker card and I must say I really enjoyed using this technique explained by Karen Day on Art Impressions' blog (click on the link for all the details). Very easy and so versatile, it works with so many dies. So I first cut out my frame out of a coca-cola box 4 times and one last time from a blue patterned paper.

I kept the center of the blue die cut to use it as my shaker background. I stamped and embossed in white the music notes and my sentiment (Happy Birthday). I added the sequins and colored the hoot's hat with the same colors.  As always, I added some Stickles on the hat. My card's background is made with a patterned paper and I glued on it a flower I cut out from another patterned paper. The hoot is mounted on 2D foam and on the frame. Voilà!

I'm submitting my card to these challenges:
- Art Impressions challenge #178 Shake, rattle & roll

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

To celebrate this day, I made another card. I might give it only next year as I already made my card for this year he he. I don't know about you but I have tons of ribbons and buttons I'm not using much. When I first started scrapbooking, I enjoyed ribbons and buttons and now, I'm more into inks. So for this card, I challenged myself to use those items on my card. I like so much this stamp from Art Impressions I decide to use it again this week:

I first randomly arranged many ribbons on my patterned paper. I then added my main image (hand cut to keep the cat's tail) and my sentiment (Happy Valentine's Day). I colored the animals with Tombow markers. I created flowers with felt and buttons. I'm submitting this card to these two challenges:
- Art Impressions Challenge #177 Love, love, love
- Addicted to stamps Challenge #120 - Die cut

Material used:
- Stamps: Fur-ever (Art Impressions), sentiment (Bonnidée)
- Dies: Lacey ovals (Spellbinders), Small tag frame (Hero Arts)
- Patterned paper: K&Company
- Various ribbons and buttons
- Tombow markers

Thanks for stopping by!

I love you

Hi all,

Valentine's Day is approaching fast so I made a card with a great stamp from Art Impressions I had.

I first mounted on a cream cardstock a multicolor patterned paper I had. Then, on another cream cardstock, I stamped and clear embossed my two stamps. I stamped the "love you" twice to make a heart effect. I sponged some Distress ink on my both cardstocks so the stamps would appear in cream with the resist technique. I chose green patterned papers as well so the card would be a bit more masculine and there would be more contrast. My main stamp was stamped with Versafine ink and I hand cut it to keep the cat's tail. I colored it with Tombow markers. Final touch by adding 3 bling stones.

I'm submitting this card to these challenges:
- Art Impressions #177: Love, love, love!
- Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Have a Heart
- Addicted to Stamps - Anything goes with a stamp

Material used:
- Stamps: Fur-ever (Art Impressions), Amour (Doodlebug Designs), Love you (Florilèges Design)
