Hello Ai friends! Kerry here, since this challenge is Everything goes!
I thought it would be cool to try something a little different. I always love those four colors pop arts. So, I wanted to try with a few of my Ai stamps
Here is how I create my Ai pop art card. I used watercolor paper and cut them for four squares, their measurements are 2.5 inches by 2.5 inches. I used distress stains to add the color.
(No distress stains? no fear, you can also use the ink pads, too. Just flip the ink pad upside down and slide it across the paper, you can create the same effects too.)
Then I stamped each image with Versamark stamp pad and heat set it with black embossing powder for a little bit of dimension.
I had so much fun making the first one and I can help it to make a few. :)
Pop Art 1 with Love Spinner set
Pop Art 2 with AC Moore you still have teeth
Pop Art 3 with Goldie Golfer
Hope you like them and can't wait to see your creations!
