Today's feature card was inspired by the current Ai Blog Challenge called "Birds of a Feather" which is to incorporate a bird or birds on your card or project!
I thought it would be fun to create a scene where the Ai Floral Truck Set (5511) would look like a little pop-up floral shop. So, let's begin by stamping the images from this set, as well as a few birds from the Ai Birds and Bugs Set (5561), and a pretty topiary from the Ai Front Porch Garden Set (5486). All of the coloring today will be done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Yellow, Bright Yellow, Lt Pink, Peach Pink, Lilac, Lt Violet, Deep Red Grape, Deep Vermillion, Deep Red, Lt Gray, Gray, Cool Gray 6, Beige, Mid Brown, Haze Blue, Lt Blue, Cobalt Blue, Persian Green, Blue Gray, Dk Agate, Lt Green, Green.
To ground the scene, we will be stamping a pretty brick walk. Once the brick walk is stamped and colored, we can add a pretty sky by ink blending some orange and yellow inks!
Next, we can assemble the card, popping up some of the items for added interest and dimension. Don't forget to add those adorable little birds and bees! To layer up the card we will use some pretty polka dot paper from the Ai Easter S2 Paper Pack (5892).
We can also add some baker's twine and tie a bow at the top of the card! And as you probably already know, I have been trying to complete my cards by adding a sentiment and an interesting element to the inside of the card. For this card, I added a sentiment from the Ai Mrs. Set (5405) which says, "Wishing you every Bloomin' Thing!" and another cute flowerpot as well as a little bee!
Please check out the entire Front Porch Series for lots of little elements that can be incorporated into your scene cards and also the Rides Series which includes this floral truck as well as a Birthday Buggy, Christmas Truck, Spooky Wagon and some sweet add-ons!
Thank you so much for joining me today! Have a fun and crafty day!!!

Hello Ai Fans - Bri here! Today I am sharing a floral card design featuring the new 5511 - Floral Truck Set, which is part of Ai's Rides collection. This project is perfect for Ai's current challenge, "Wheelie Awesome", as it features a truck full of fresh blooms. For more details on how I created this Spring card keep reading below.
The background papers are from the same double-sided paper that coordinate perfectly with the colored flowers from the Floral Truck Set. The flowers and the truck were colored with Copic markers.
The striped paper I die cut with the largest Hexagon Double Stitched die. The heat embossed sentiment is from the WC Sentiment 2 set. I used liquid adhesive to attach all the pieces to the card base.
Check back next week for more Ai inspiration made by me!

Now that we've wrapped up our previous challenge, let's announce our new challenge!
To celebrate the new Ai Rides release at Art Impressions we're looking for creations that feature anything with wheels! Cars, trucks, skateboards, bags, wagons, carts, wheelbarrows...you name it! If it has wheels on it, we want to see it!
Reneé is our featured artist this week and she has two cards featuring some of the new sets. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello everyone!
I've used 5511 – Floral Truck Set for my first card. The variety of flowers and the delicate
butterflies are so wonderful.
I used pop dots to stagger the depths of the flower pots.
For my second card I used the same truck with the new 5510 – Sport Accessories. I added my own verse on the banner.
I've had this paper in my craft stash for probably 10 years and never quite found a purpose for it. When I saw the new sports accessories I knew immediately that it would be perfect for this set!
Happy weekend everyone! It's another new release week and this time there are four fabulous accessory sets for the Rides line that debuted last fall. Today I've paired the 5455 Birthday Buggy Set and 5510 Ai Sport Accessories Set.
The Sport Accessories Set is super fun with all kinds of sporty items including various type of balls, a bat, megaphone, cooler, flag and more! I placed all these sporty items into an equally sporty red buggy. The background and sentiment are from a sports related paper pack which made this one come together super fast. I dedicated this card to my son who is 16, a new driver and loves all kinds of sports. This is just a perfect card to wish him well before a big game. It will be very unexpected and I know he'll love it!
There are three other equally charming accessory sets that are perfect to tuck into the vehicles in the Rides line or they can be used on their own for a totally different look. Check out the 5508 Travel Accessories Set, 5509 Beach Accessories Set, and 5511 Floral Truck Set which includes another of the fun Rides vehicles.. You're going to love them!
Thanks for joining me today for a trip to the game.
