Art Impressions Blog: Simple Card Layout Design w/ Pretty Patterned Papers by Lynn Dionne

Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let's create a simple layered card using some pretty patterned papers! For our focal image we will be using the cute little scarecrow from the Ai Harvest Together Set (5507)! This set has so many fun Fall images and coordinating sentiments and we will be using the sentiment that says "Cutest Pumpkin in the Patch" which would be just perfect for a boys birthday card or Fall celebration card!

All of the coloring for our focal image will be done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Shadow Pink, Bordeaux Red, Beige, Brick Beige, Lt Brown, Sand, Smoky Olive, Mid Brown.

We will be using a wonderful 6"x6" double-sided paper pad from the Carta Bella - Welcome Fall Collection to create all of the layers for this card. Also, keep in mind that Ai just released a beautiful Fall Paper Pad from the Harvest Journal Series (5606) which could easily be used on this card as well! I will list it down below if you would like to take a look!

This simple card design will come to life with all of these pretty papers. To create the layers and banners we will be using the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies (5063), Ai Flag Double Stitched Dies (5133), and the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543).

As a finishing touch, we can add some Carta Bella Enamel Dots and create the card base from that same Welcome Fall Collection!

This card was inspired by the current Ai Blog Challenge which is called "Let's Hear it for the Boys". The challenge is linked below if you would like to join in on our challenge or if you just want check out some fun cards that were submitted by your crafty friends!
