Get Well Soon!

Happy Friday Ai Fans!

I finished all my Halloween cards and want a break from Christmas cards so I pulled out these 2 stamps I've had in my stash for awhile! Meet Nurse Norma and Doctor Bill! For some reason these cute "Health Care Professionals" crack me up!

The paper I used was also from my stash and is from Carta Bella's Hello Again 6x6 collection. My design is fairly simple this time with just 2 patterns, some twine and a few enamel dots.

On the inside I used the Sentiment called "Get Well Soon"

Copics Used:

Skin: E000, E01, E31, R20

Hair: C1, C3, C5

Dr: G40, G43, G46

Nurse: R20, R21, R22

Clipboard: E30, E31, E33

White parts: C1

Shoes: C1, C3, C5, C7

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stamping!

need a crown by Diane Zechman

Hello Ai friends and happy Thursday!

 

Today I am sharing a card using one of the hilarious Ai People sets... this one is the Crown Set (4370).  This lady is sure to crack a smile on the recipients face!

 

She is perfect for one of my favorite techniques...paper piecing.  I could have easily pieced her top but decided to just do her skirt in patterned paper.  Then I gave her a fun background and sassy red shoes to match her personality!

 

Isn't this gal a hoot?

 

Be sure to check out all the fun Ai People stamps!  Have a great day and… happy stamping!
