Six Layer set by Kerry - Chameleon & Perfect Paper Craft blog hop

Hello and Welcome back to another fun day of the Art Impressions, Chameleon pens, and Perfect Paper Crafting blog hop!  From June 15th to 21st, we are having a mini blog hop between the three companies to feature some super cool goodies.  

You should be arriving from the Perfect Paper Crafting blog.

I'm sharing a card using the Six Layer set (SKU# 4592).  

I absolutely adore her, she is just fabulous and love the sentiment.

I colored the vintage diva with the Chameleon markers - pastel tone.  I love these markers, they are super cool.  Each marker has its own infusing chamber which can create multiple shades and I can control the intensity of the color, totally awesome!

And to create some of the layers, I used the Perfect Layers Mini and Perfect Cutting mat from Perfect Paper Craft.  What a great tool!  It makes it so easy to create borders, which I'm used to measure 1/4" or 1/8" with my paper trimmer.  And I no longer have to do that.  And it has 8 different sizes too, love it!

And here is the whole card. 

Well, that's it from me, your next stop is the Chameleon pens blog!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and don't forget to enter for the giveaway!

The Queen by Dana Warren

Hi Ai fans!!

Dana here with a card fit for royalty!! Hehe!! I used The Queen Set from the new Vintage collection and paired her up with some gold pattern paper!! 

I started by stamping her on some white card stock, i colored her arms and hair with Copic markers. Then i stamped her again on some pink pattern paper and again on some white card stock. I cut out the collar and cuffs from the white card stock and then cut her dress out of the pattern paper.

I cut my colored image with a square die, then adhered the dress pieces. Next i added the white collar and cuffs, so you get a bit of dimension with all the layers without using foam tape!

The pattern paper i am using all comes from the same paper pad, Blush Glam by Craft Smith. I cut a pink strip and added it to the cut rectangle, then added some pink twine that i tied in a knot. 

For the card base i added a white and gold pattern, it is so shiny!! I added The Queen panel to the card base with foam tape. Then i cut a small rectangle and stamped the sentiment (an awesome sentiment by the way!!), that got added to the card with foam tape.

Copic's: Hair - E44, E57, E35. Skin - E53, E00

Other Supplies: Pattern Paper - Craft Smith, Blush Glam
