Shoppes Try-fold by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!
This is the first time that I've coloured up the Shoppes TF Set (Sku #4339):
 After untying the ribbon, here is what the try-fold looks like:
 And here is the inside, with both side flaps open.  I backed the two side pieces with some patterned paper to hide where the Copic markers bled through.  The set includes all three images, plus the sentiment:
 All of the images that come in the set can be used individually on regular cards, so here is one using the main image:
There are quite a few Try-fold sets available in the Art Impressions store - you can find them all here!
Copics used: Greens - G46, G43, G40
Yellows - Y26, Y23, Y21, E50

Need Coffee by Kerry

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!
Have you had your coffee this morning yet?  
I absolutely adore this super fun set call Hot Java Mama from Hobby Lobby.  
It's totally me in the morning, hehe!


I was finally brave enough to use a Prima watercolor confections this weekend.  I was a bit nervous but I figured that I cannot stare at these pretty watercolor forever, hehe!  So, I colored the Java Mama with them.  And I'm glad that I did.  They were super fun to use.  :)

And, I added a watercolor background.  I also added a few matching coffee mugs and a picture frame with the perfect sentiment.  


Hope you like it and don't forget to grab a cup of coffee for the day!

Thanks for your hospitality! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a thank you card that I made for some friends.  They recently treated my daughter and I to dinner so I wanted to thank them with this fun card.

The image is called Luigi sku#4237 and the verse is from a Girlfriends set called 4237 – At the Movies Set


I thought since it's a food themed card some Baker's Twine would be an appropriate touch.


He's such a fun little chef!  I know they'll love this.


Copics used: 
Y0000, Y00, Y21, Y28, YG63, YG91, R11, R20,
R29, R32, N0, N2, C7, E42, E51, E84, E93

My Favorite Thing by Sharon

Hello AI Fans!!

Today I'm showing you another one of the fun and fabulous Art Impressions images that are available exclusively at Hobby Lobby. I am so in love with this set and I know I will probably wear it out!  This set is LOVE BIRDS  #AICS27  and the last I checked, they are ON SALE!!!! 


Just look at these adorable faces!!!!!  


I had actually tried to draw in a heart pattern on her apron, and I just didn't like how it turned out. So how do I fix it? I just paper piece right over the top of the failure and voila! No more problem. :) 



And a look at the inside...


Copics used:

skin:  E000, E00, E11, E04, R20
clothing: RV32, RV34, E51, E53, E33, E34, E37,
hair: W2, W4, W6
Birds: R22, R24, R27, B000, B01
I also used chalk pencils for some shading

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit today and hope you have lots of time this weekend to get crafty!
