In the Tub by Kerry

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!

Today I'm sharing a fun card using one of the Ai Girlfriends called In the Tub.

I absolutely adore these ladies.  They always remind me of my crafting besties.  

We giggle, laugh, and just have an amazing time of whatever we do!  

I colored the girlfriends with Copic markers.  I used a soufflé white gel pen to create fun polka dots on the bathing suit.  I also added glossy accent on the glasses, and Nuvo crystal drops on the earring.  And of course, we need some glimmer, I used Wink of Stellar glitter pen.

Hope you like it and thanks so much for stopping by. 

Have a great day!

Fabulous!

Howdy Ai Fans!

How fabulous do these Girlfriends look lounging in the hot tub?!! Today's card is using the Girlfriends "In the Tub" set.

I'm using paper and stickers from the Lori Whitlock Here and Now 12x12 paper pack. I totally forgot I had this set of papers and embellishments! I added a Scalloped Border punch to both sides of the middle strip for some interest. You can actually see some of the glitter from the Clear Wink of Stella pen I used on various parts of my design. Looks even better in person!

This sentiment comes with the "In the Tub" set!

For our next challenge, we're want to see how creative you can get with "anything goes!" That means you can choose anything for your card. We want to see loads of creativity! Our card designer, Kerry, is here to show you what she's come up with.

Hello Ai friends!  Kerry here, since this challenge is Everything goes!

I thought it would be cool to try something a little different.  I always love those four colors pop arts.  So, I wanted to try with a few of my Ai stamps 

(Love Spinner, Goldie Golfer, & AC Moore still have teeth).

Here is how I create my Ai pop art card.  I used watercolor paper and cut them for four squares, their measurements are 2.5 inches by 2.5 inches.  I used distress stains to add the color.

(No distress stains?  no fear, you can also use the ink pads, too.  Just flip the ink pad upside down and slide it across the paper, you can create the same effects too.)

Then I stamped each image with Versamark stamp pad and heat set it with black embossing powder for a little bit of dimension.

I had so much fun making the first one and I can help it to make a few.  :)

Pop Art 1 with Love Spinner set

Pop Art 2 with AC Moore you still have teeth

Pop Art 3 with Goldie Golfer 

Hope you like them and can't wait to see your creations!
