Happy Birthday Old Man! Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday!

Sharing a new card inspired by the Clean & Simple Challenge. The 5278 - Dance It Out Laugh Lines set is perfect for a masculine birthday cards and I love these greetings!

The main image was colored with Copic Markers and I used Distress Oxide Ink to add more color around the edges. I love how the yellow creates a spotlight around the happy guy! 

I also attached several yellow enamel dots to go with the colors used throughout the card.

Lastly, I added layers of green and navy blue card stock to complete this simple design. 

I hope you enjoyed today's clean & simple project and will participate in the challenge!

Dance It Out by Niccole

Hello Ai fans!!

I am stopping by today to share a card I made using the Dance It Out stamp set from Art Impressions.  

I started by stamping my sentiment and cutting it out with the Flag Double Stitched Dies.  I love the banners you can make with these dies.  I layered the sentiment to give it a more polished look.  

For my card I used a gray card base.  I layered my white panel on top and stamped my dancing gentleman towards the left of the card.  I Copic colored him.  I added a shadow to give him some depth.  

I finished my card off by attaching my banner to the right side of the card and randomly adding some black Nuvo Drops. Below is another look at the finished card.

Here is one more look at the finished card. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and spending a little time with me.  Make sure you come back soon to the Ai blog and see what the team has been up to.

Run Wild Mr. Handstand by Niccole

Hello Ai fans!!

I am stopping by today to share a card I made using the Dance It Out stamp set from Art Impressions.  

I started with a teal card base.  I added a black piece of card stock trimmed smaller than the teal.  I trimmed my white piece smaller than the black so it would look nice and polished.  On my white piece I masked off a line so I could make the sky and grass.  I tilted the grass a tiny bit so when my guy was doing his handstand it would look more realistic. 

I faded out the  sky so I could add my sentiment ... "Over the hill and STILL running wild!" I placed the sentiment framed out in the upper left corner of the card. 

 I added some clear confetti to give some pop to the card.  I added my fussy cut gentleman to my card.  He fit perfectly upside down so he was "running wild" doing a handstand.  I love when you can change a stamped image up a little.

Here is one more look at the full card.
