NEVER Underestimate the Power of Being Properly Caffeinated.

Hi Ai fans! 

Nothing is better then a coffee date with friends! This week I played with the Girlfriend Blend set 4132. 

I started with stamping these fun ladies onto smooth cardstock using Memento black ink because I planned on coloring them in with alcohol markers. 

After I colored them in I fussy cut them out. I did use a white gel pen to add a little bit of detail to two of the ladies shirts. One shirt I added some fun polka dots and the other one some strips. I love to color any of the girlfriend images in with fun colors. 

When I'm not feeling very inspired on a lazy Saturday I enjoy playing with ink for backgrounds on future cards. I just save my backgrounds for cards to use in the future. After I fussy cut these ladies out I looked through my backgrounds and found this one I did with green ink onto Kraft cardstock I thought it went with them just perfectly. 

I stamped the sentiment on the bottom of the card with and heat embossed with silver embossing powder. 

Spectrum Noir Markers:

FS6, FS7, FS8, PP3, BGR1, BGR2, BGR3, BGR5, MB1, MB2, MB4, EB1, EB2, EB3, DR3, DG1, DG2, DG3, GY1, GY3, GY5, CR1, CR3, CR6

Happy Stamping! 

Coffee With Friends!

Hi Ai Fans!

Happy Friday everyone! For my post today I am sharing with you a card I made using a stamp from the Girlfriends line called Girlfriend Blend set (#4132). There's nothing better than having a coffee and gabfest with your best girlfriends! I can just imagine what these four are gossiping about LOL.

This design is a simple one with layered cardstock and design papers from the Bo Bunny Little Miss collection. Some clear glitter Wink of Stella on each lady to bling it up and a few buttons for fun! I stamped one of the 3 sentiments and added it to a file folder tab die cut.

 I used one of the other sentiments that come in the set on the inside.

Copics used:

Skin: E00, E02, R20, RV17

Hair: E41, E43, E44, E47 / YR21, YR24, Y21 / Y23, Y26

Coffee divas by Kerry Kung

Hello and happy Monday Ai friends, hope you had a fantastic weekend!

Up for a cup of coffee and join these wonderful Girlfriends?

For today's card, I used the Girlfriends Blend Set (SKU#4132).

I used the chevron stencil, distress ink in squeezed lemonade, and a blending tool to 

create the background. 

I added a piece of black chalk tape.  Then, I colored the Girlfriends with Copic markers, 

cut them out and adhered them with foam tape, and finished it with a sentiment.

Hope you like it and have a great day!

At the Circus

Hello Ai Fans! 
This week I'm still hanging out with Girlfriends.

With the warmer weather, there's just so many opportunities to be outside, and Girlfriends are taking advantage of it. This week, the girls are at the circus - enjoying the attractions and each other.  I'm featuring images from the Girlfriend Blend Set (Sku#4132) and colored with Copic markers. After coloring the girls, I cut them out and used a black water based marker around the edge.

I placed them on top of a fun background and added some bling to their jewelry and lips with glitter pens.

On the inside I added matching design paper and stamped a sentiment from the set.

Come back tomorrow to see what lovely project Crystal has to share!

Thanks for visiting!

Take care and STAY POSITIVE!
