Sorry You're Sick by Dana Warren

Hello, AI Fans!!

Dana, here with a fun card featuring one of the new AI People!! A couple of the new sets are guys and we all know how well guys deal with being sick!! Haha!!  Today I'm using the Better Soon set.

For this card, I started by die cutting a couple circles from white card stock. One for the image and the smaller for the sentiment. I used the following Spectrum Noir Markers to color the image: CR5, CR6, CR8, CR11, CR10, EB5, EB6, GB1, GB4, GT2, GT3, Blender.

Before I colored him up I picked out some pattern paper so I could match the image colors to the pattern paper. I went with My Minds Eye Hooray 6 x 6 pad.

After adding the pattern paper to a white card base, I added the circles with foam tape and lastly added a few black enamel dots. Kept it simple since this is a card geared more toward a guy!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Happy Stamping

Hello AI Fans!!

So have you seen the new AI People yet?? I love each and every one of them and simply must have them all!!  My card today features the fun Crutches Set!  Isn't she so cute and sassy?? Love her!! I stamped her onto cryogen white paper and colored her up with Copic markers (listed below). Then cut her out using the Spellbinders oval and petite scalloped oval dies. 

I wanted to make a heart with my felt, so I used more Spellbinder dies and ran them through my Cuttlebug. Please ignore my very well used plates. :) 

I added a fun bow made with May Art ribbon using the Bow Easy, and glued it to the center of the felt heart. I then stamped the sentiment and cut it out using more Spellbinder dies. 

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit, and hope you grab your felt and join us in the challenge!
