Dare to Be Fabulous

Hello AI fans!

Dana here with a using some Art Impressions clear stamps available at Hobby Lobby, Dare to Be Fabulous! 

I found a water color panel that i made some time ago, i used it to match some pattern paper to. On the pattern papers i stamped single lady from the set and again on some white card stock. 

I colored the skin, skirt and shoes on the white card stock lady. Then i fussy cut different parts of her outfit and adhered them on the white colored image. Next i fussy cut her out.

I found a cork circle in my stash and added it the watercolor panel, on top of the cork i added the paper pieced image. For a sentiment i added one in the bottom left corner, then added the panel to a black card base.

Thanks for stopping by!! Happy Stamping!!

I love these fall papers - they make for a fun & bright card with a bit of Halloween flair with Eunice dressed in costume.  Here are the Copics that I used to colour her up:

Watercolor fun with Ai Tryfolds by Kerry

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!

Hope you had a fabulous weekend and had some crafting time.  A couple of weeks ago, I took a watercolor class at my local scrapbooking store.  Even since then, I'm obsessed about watercolors.  I figured that it will be super fun using the Ai Try folds.

Instead of the normal way of create the Try folds, I wanted to create a halloween scene using the Haunted House Try Folds (SKU#4688).

And since I'm a beach fan, have to create another card using the Beach Try Folds (SKU#4577).

Thanks so much for stopping by and happy watercoloring!

Windows to the World by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing two Windows to the World cards with you.  These are so much fun because you get a little glimpse of the inside through the window.  Art Impressions recently added a wonderful Window Die (Sku#4619) to their inventory.

Happy Birthday Script (Sku#G3130)

Antiques Window (Sku#M4587)

This is such a wonderful image for a guy.  I love that you can change the season too by coloring the leaves and grass different colors.  You could even change the time of day by adding a sunset instead of a blue sky.

I used the verse from the  Snowman Note-Able (Sku#4511) set.

For my window frames and sills I cut 4 thin strips of cardstock. (just plain white)  I used two different Ranger Distress Crackle Paints on them.  I painted each strip with the crackle paint and gave them sufficient time to dry.  I then cut the corner angles to make it look like the edges were mitered. (I hope that's the right term)  The grayish one is Weathered Wood and the green one is called Shabby Shutters.  I popped them up on some thin dimensional foam to make it look a little bit raised from the walls.

Savior Window (Sku#M4689)

Aren't these little critters the sweetest?
