Happy Vibes Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a new card featuring the fun 5458-Llama Set and 5187- Happy Trails Set!

I started by stamping the little llama image and colored her with markers. I love this stamp set, but hadn't used this little stamp yet. This stamp is small, but so cute! 

To create the scene, I stenciled a bright orange spotlight and colored a ocean-themed background with markers. I also added a palm tree from the 5187- Happy Trails Set! It's fun to mix and match your sets and think of new ways to use your stamps!

Lastly, I stamped "Happy Little Moments" in a coordinating orange ink before attaching layers of orange, blue and blue marble paper. These colors are so warm and this card just makes me smile!

I hope you enjoyed today's project and are having wonderful day!

Happy Camper Beach Bums by Janet Axtman

 

My family enjoys camping and we get out pretty regularly with our travel trailer. We live within a few miles of the beach and beach camping is the best camping in our book! When I saw the Happy Trails Set, I knew I had to have it because it mimics our own life so much.

For this card, I stamped most of the images in the set. There is a cute balloon and light string that I didn't use. There are six sentiments such as Home is Where You Park It, Happy Trails, Happy Retirement, Happy Camper and more. I thought the sentiment I chose was perfect for this very relaxed and happy couple.  

I colored the images with Karen markers. For most of the images, I chose one color and used water to blend and create shading. You can get similar results from a water brush or the Karin Blender Marker. I prefer the control I get with a small round brush. After coloring them, I cut them out with the Brother Scan N Cut.

The sand is a piece of torn gold metallic cardstock. An aqua metallic cardstock was used for the sky. Bordering the main panel are bright blue and hot pink mats. The 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 slimline card base is made of lime green.  

I used many neon colors on this card. Have you noticed that neon is making a comeback? It's a lot of fun for summer cards. What cards are you making with a summer theme? There's plenty of great sets to be found at the Ai Store.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great weekend!

Happy Creating!
