Happy Thursday AI Friends!
Today I have a card that I made for one of my best girlfriends. I don't know about any of you, but the Art Impressions girlfriends stamp sets are my favorites!!! Bonnie has done such a great job with each of the characters in these images. I just love the fun and laughter expressed in each and every one of the girlfriends faces. Sooooo relatable!
The #4129 Uptown Girls stamp set actually has four girlfriends but I stamped only three. Sometimes it's fun to adjust a stamp set to give it a different look.
I stamped the image with memento black ink onto copic friendly paper and colored with my copic markers listed below. I originally colored the middle girlfriend with a solid yellow top but it was just too overpowering so I stamped the image onto pattern paper and fussy cut her top and glued it over the yellow one. Toned it down and I like it much better. Don't ever throw away an image because you don't like the way you colored a part of it. You can always fix it by paper piecing or covering with a sentiment, etc. Just depends what you don't like. One time, I even went so far as to stamp, recolor and paper piece the hair. It worked and I saved the image to use on another card and no one was the wiser (except my friends that saw me do it). LOL!
I stamped the sentiment, that is in the stamp set, at the top of the image panel. Using a die cut from my stash, I matted the image onto a pattern paper frame using the #5873 Mini Birthday paper pack and then again on yellow cardstock. I then placed that onto a blue checkered piece of pattern paper from the #5940 Journal Cover Paper Pack - Plaid. To finish the card, I placed little die cut stars around and adhered a bow.
Remember to review your stamp sets and see how you can change them up to give them a slightly different look. Adds fun to your card making.
Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my card.
Have a great day and keep creating!
