I'm So Irresistible by Janet

 

I’m making a lot of get well cards lately. I decided to make lemons into lemonade by coloring up several of these cheerful cards. As they say, humor is the best medicine! I know these cards will brighten someone’s day when they’re received. 

This is made with the 4863 Irresistible Set. I really love her bed. It’s just like the antique brass bed I had when I lived at home so many years ago. I think I would have picked this one up just because of that but it also makes up some great cards with just the right amount of light heartedness. 

I stamped this onto marker paper and colored it with Copic colors. I used the package illustration to guide my shading and color choices. I think it’s great that you can always use the package illustration for an example. One thing I changed up though was the bed color. I made mine into a brass bed of course!

COPIC COLORS USED:
0, C1, C3
E00, E21, E23, E25, E09
B00, B01, B04, BV02, V17
RV21, R24, YR02

Thanks so much for joining me here today. Don't forget that our current challenge Get in n Shape is running through Thursday this week. Submit your shaped cards (no rectangles or squares) for a chance to wins Ai stamps of your choice. Click on the image below to be taken to the challenge post.

We look forward to seeing your creations!

Happy Creating!

Funny Get Well by Cheri Burry!

Hello Ai Fans!

Today I am sharing with you two cards I created using the Art Impressions "Irresistible" Set. I love how relaxed the cat is, reminds me of how my dogs are when I am in bed LOL!

This poor Gal sure looks like she's definitely not feeling 100%. I decided to use papers from the Echo Park I'd Rather Be Crafting 6x6 collection. I bet She would rather be crafting too then sick in bed!

The sentiment is just so perfect for this image!

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, E21, R20

Hair: E55, E57, E59

Bedspread: R21, R22, R24

Bedframe: Y26, Y28

Cat: W0, W1, W3, W5

C1, C3, Y23, BG45, BG49

Happy Stamping!

Germs Find Me Irresistible by Dana Warren

Hello, AI Fans!!

Dana, here with a card featuring one of the new AI People stamps, Irresistible Set. These new AI People are so funny!! 

I stamped the image on white card stock and used my Spectrum Noir Markers to color it. if you happen to use SN Markers too, I would suggest using Crafter's Companion Ultra Smooth Cardstock, it really works the best with SN Markers! The colors I used are as follows: CR4, CR6, CR10, EB5, EB6, FS4, FS6, FS9, GB1, GB4, GT2, GT3, IG2, IG4, IG6, PP5, TB1, Blender. After coloring I fussy cut the image out.

Next, I picked out some fancy pattern paper that I thought would look kind of like wallpaper and added the yellow pattern to a white card base. To break up all that yellow I added the pattern paper strips across the card. 

Then I stamped the sentiment and trimmed it down to a rectangle. I added the sentiment and image to the card with foam tape.  With the busy pattern paper, I decided not to add enamel dots or sequins! A little hard for me to do!!! :)

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!!

Hello AI Fans!!

So have you seen the new AI People yet?? I love each and every one of them and simply must have them all!!  My card today features the fun Crutches Set!  Isn't she so cute and sassy?? Love her!! I stamped her onto cryogen white paper and colored her up with Copic markers (listed below). Then cut her out using the Spellbinders oval and petite scalloped oval dies. 

I wanted to make a heart with my felt, so I used more Spellbinder dies and ran them through my Cuttlebug. Please ignore my very well used plates. :) 

I added a fun bow made with May Art ribbon using the Bow Easy, and glued it to the center of the felt heart. I then stamped the sentiment and cut it out using more Spellbinder dies. 

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit, and hope you grab your felt and join us in the challenge!
