Birthday Bus Cubbies Card by Carol Hintermeier

Happy Monday Ai friends!  Have you seen the new Art Impressions Cubbies sets?  My card today uses the adorable Bus Cubbies.  I just think these little animals are so cute!

This is a view with the bus doors closed.

This card was created in the usual "cubbies" way--stamp the images, color, and die cut with the included dies.  I've listed my Copic markers I used below.  I positioned the critters with liquid glue and then added foam tape to the back of the bus.

For the background, I hand cut a mask for the hill, added it to the sky portion and inked on some Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide.  I used the other piece of the mask to cover up the hill, and inked some clouds with a cloud stencil and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide.  I sprinkled some water drops over the panel and blotted them with a paper towel.  Then I added drops of some white ink spray and let it dry.  Next I die cut it with a Rectangle Double Stitched die and attached it to a pink layer.  This was attached to a top-folding 5-½" x 4-¼" card base.

Then I attached the bus to the panel.  I popped up the balloons with foam tape and used a black pen to draw in the strings.

I stamped the cute sentiment in black ink, cut it into a flag shape and popped it up with foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  Have a fabulous, crafty week!
