OUCH! Feel Better by Niccole Kulig

Hello Ai fans!!

I am stopping by today to share a card using the Doggy Kisses and Wine Divas stamp set.

I did not intend to create a one layer card but sometimes the stamps decide for you what direction you are going with your card.  LOL Anyways ... I started by stamping my sentiments in the middle in black. I used the Ouch sentiment from Doggy Kisses stamp set and I used only part of the sentiment in Wine Divas for the feel better.  From there I randomly stamped the band-aid from the Doggy Kisses stamp set in rainbow colors.

I always find it hard to photograph Wink of Stella. Do you agree?  I added Wink of Stella to all the center of the band-aids for some texture to my one layer card.

I finished it off with Nuvo Drops in the same rainbow colors to give a lot more dimension to my one layer card.  I love how cheery this card ended up being.  A great pick me up card for someone hurt or injured.

Here is one more look at the complete card ...

Remember ... try and stretch you stamps out of the norm from what they were intended for, as there is no dog on this card as the stamp set would imply, just a general feel better card.

Like I said earlier sometime a one layer card is all you need to get your point across. Please stop back again soon and see what I have been up to.

Until next time ... Hugs & inky fingers!

Happy Birthday to One Fabulous Chick by Niccole Kulig

Hello Ai fans!

I am here today to share yet another card using the adorable Spring Chicken set.  I am on quite the chicken kick at the moment. 

I used the same navy card stock with a red frame. This time though I had some left over chicken feet for the recent Animal Challenge. I couldn't let the little feet go to waste. 

I masked out the "Oh Frap" that is on the coffee cup before I stamped my chicken. I wanted it to be a fabulous chicken for a birthday card without that sentiment.  I colored her with my Copics.  I fussy cut her out and applied her to my card with foam tape. 

I added Wink of Stella to the flower on her hat and her glasses.  I finished it off with a few yellow Nuvo Drops. 

Here is one more look at the finished card.  These chickens are my favorite at the moment.  I just love how cute they are.  They are versatile as well; you could use other sentiments with them.

Copics used:

BG000
C1, C3, 

R24
RV25, RV29

Y13, Y17, Y26, Y28
YG23

YR04, YR07

Thank you so much for stopping by and spending some time with me.  Please stop back again soon. 

Until next time ... Hugs & inky fingers!

You Are My Significant Otter by Niccole Kulig

Hello Ai Fans!!

I am stopping by to share an Anniversary card I made for my husband.  Our Anniversary is not until July but I wanted to make sure I had it done.  I also wanted to show you that you don't to use themed stamp sets for that specific occasion; like this one from Art Impressions called  Valentine Critters stamp set but I am using it as an Anniversary card.  

  Isn't he just the cutest?? I started by using my Smoky Shadow card base.  I glued a piece of White trimmed down to 3.75"x5.5".  I stamped "to my significant OTTER" in black ink right on my white card base.

I stenciled on my white piece with some yellow ink and some red ink.  Doesn't it just radiate?  I think it really makes my OTTER pop.

I really wanted my OTTER to be the focal point so besides the radiating sunburst, I raised him up with an action wobbler. I finished it off with some red Nuvo drops. 

Once again here is a finished look at my OTTER card from the Valentine Critters stamp set.  I absolutely love how it turned out.  I made a second card with the OTTER lower and my sentiment on top, but I like it this way a lot better. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and spending a little time with me. Come back again soon!
