Crutches Set by Cheri Burry!

Hi Ai Fans!

I always like to have a few "Get Well" themed cards on hand to send off when the occasion arises! This is the super cute Art Impression stamp called "Crutches set". The set comes with the stamp, sentiment and cast!

I matched my Copic colouring to the design papers in the Carta Bella "Flora No.1" 6x6 collection. I made her scarf to match the colours in her dress and jacket by just adding a variety of small dots. A cute paper bow finishes off my card.

I made one card with just the stamped image and the second card I added the cast popped up with some foam squares.

The sentiment just makes the whole theme come together, not to mention a little chuckle too!

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, E21, R20

Hair: T3, T5, T8

Dress: R20, R21, R22

Jacket: YG95, YG97, YG99

Happy Stamping!

You Make Crutches... by Dana Warren

Hello, AI fans!!!

Dana, here with a card featuring one of the new AI People! These new stamps make perfect Get Well cards!! My card features the Crutches set.

I started by picking out some pattern paper from Echo Park Paper Co. Petticoats & Pinstripes. Then I picked out some similar Spectrum Noir markers to color the image. I used BP6, BP7, CR4, CR6, DR4, EB5, EB6, GT2, GT3, IG2, IG4, IG7.

I added a pink pattern paper to a white card base, then I cut a stitched rectangle from a blue pattern. I added the stitched panel to the middle of the card. From white card stock I die cut an even smaller stitched rectangle. 

Next, I fussy cut the image and then added it to the card with foam tape. Last I stamped the sentiment on the white rectangle and also added it with foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by!!
