Par-fect Father’s Day Card by Tasha

 Hi Art Impressions friends!

Tasha here sharing a fun new Father’s Day card inspired by the current Art Impressions Challenge.

For this project, I used the 4902 -Par-Tee Golfers Set; one of my favorites for making golf-themed cards. This dad is all geared up for some time on the course, and I think it's such a fun and playful image for Father's Day.

I started by stamping the golfer with black hybrid ink and colored him in using alcohol markers. After coloring, I brought out the brand-new 6047-Scalloped Squares Dies to cut out the center image and frame. I’m a huge fan of square cards, so I was super excited to use this new nesting die set!

To pull everything together, I added a plaid patterned paper background and layered it with green, white, and tan cardstock. I kept the color palette masculine to coordinate with the shades I used on the golfer’s outfit and his golf cart; these colors give it a classic feel.

Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s card! I hope you’re feeling inspired to create something special for the dads in your life. 

Have a wonderful day!

It's Par-Tee Time Mini Slimline Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Today I'm sharing a mini slimline card created with the  4902 - Par-Tee Golfers Set! This set includes two character stamps, a variety of sentiments, and fun golf accessories to customize your design. My card features the male golfer zipping around with his golf cart to the next hole. 

I stamped the image with black ink and colored him with Copic Markers. I used Distress Oxide Ink and a puffy cloud stencil to make the sky and drew in the grass. I love his golf clothing and had fun coloring his outfit; I love these socks!!!

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment "I can drive 300 yards...IN MY GOLF CART!" with gray ink. I also added layers of blue cardstock and black pattern paper before attaching it to a white mini slimline card base.

I hope you enjoyed today's card and wish you all a happy and safe 4th of July weekend!

Wanna Play by Dana Warren

Hello AI fans!!

Today I have a card featuring the Par-Tee Golfers stamp set! Its a great set for the golf lovers in the family!! 

I started by stamping and color the lady golfer, gold ball, and flag. I used my Spectrum Noir Markers to color them! I used: AB1, AB2, AB3, BG2, BG4, BG7, BO2, BO4, GY1. Then I fussy cut each image out.

From my stash of leftovers I found this strip of green splattered paper. I figured it would work for my 'grass' and at the same time use up something left on my desk! I have lots of leftovers that don't get used as often as they should!! 

I added the strip to a gray card base and then stamped the Wanna Play Around? sentiment to the bottom right corner. Last I added the images with foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by!! Happy Stamping!!!

Golfers by Cheri Burry!

Hello Ai Fans!
Golf season is upon us and these "Golfers" from Art Impressions  "Golden Oldies" line are ready to hit the fairways! When my Hubby saw this card his response was "Omg that's my parents" LOL!

I decided to use papers from the Authentique Suave 6x6 collection. I paper pieced different parts of their outfits for a fun look that ties in with my paper choices. A few enamel dots and my simple design was finished.

I decided to use the sentiment from the "Par-Tee Golfers" set. I just thought it was funny with these two golf die hards.

Copics Used:
Skin: E00, E21, E95,
Hair: C3, C5, C7
YG21, YG23, YG25
B35, B37, B39

Get off the Sidewalk by Jil Lebel

Hello Ai fans!

Most of the men in my family are golfers, so I've had plans to use the Par-Tee Golfers set 4902 since it came out.  I just haven't gotten around to it .  Well, now I have.  I made up two very similar cards with the crazy old guy zipping along in his golf cart.  I loved all of the sayings in the set, but I had to add the Get off Sidewalk G2628 saying to one of the cards.  It just fit the image so well.

I stamped the image onto Canson XL watercolor paper with Jet Black Archival ink. I colored the Image using Lumin Arte Twinkling H2O's.  They are a watercolor paint that has a mica shimmer in them.  The colors used will be listed below. I used my #4 brush and the Watercolor Palette to help me while I painted. The mica in the paint covered many of the stamped lines, so I ended up tracing over them with a black pen. I cut the entire image out of the second smallest of the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle Dies.

The greetings are stamped with a Versafine Onyx Black ink pad and die cut with two different banner die cuts. I used the Pebbles Garden Party 6x6 paper pad for the card layers.  The Enamel Dots are from My Minds Eye.

Twinkling H2O's Colors:
Face - Pale Porcelain, Sand Dollar, Rose Petal
Shirt - Mango Mambo, Orange Peel
Pants - Sea Glass, Moss Green
Bag - Nutmeg
Cart - Pale Porcelain
Background - Sea Glass, Stargazer
Everything Silver - Pewter, China Black

Thanks for stopping by and Have a Great Day!

Live Life and GOLF!! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing the first of several golf cards that I made for a benefit.  My husband's friend is an avid golfer and is battling cancer.  There is a benefit for him coming up and we're donating a raffle basket with some Titleist balls, a gift card for a local sporting goods store and some golf themed cards that I made.

This one was made using Art Impressions fun set called

4902 – Par-Tee Golfers Set

It's from the Work and Play line.

I hope whoever wins our basket knows just

the right golfer that will love this card!

On the inside I used a verse from another

Ai set called 4572 – Throttle Spinner

from the Spinners line.
