Love is in the Air! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a super sweet image from last Valentine's Day.

This set is called 4753 – In the Air Set.

I don't normally case cards and especially not for a DT post but I just fell in love with Mary's card and felt that layout would be perfect for Art Impressions sweet little skunk.

On the inside I used a verse from 4230 – Show the Love Set.

What special someone in YOUR life needs a card like this?

Show Me The Love

Hello AI Fans!!

Dana, here with a card featuring AI's Show the Love Set. I made two cards with the set, I was in the mood to color and it's always nice to have a few Love cards on hand!

I started by stamping the image (isn't she a little sassy!) and coloring her with my Spectrum Noir Markers. I used DR3, DR5, DR6, FS2, FS3, IG2, IG4, IG6. Then I just fussy cut both images.

The backgrounds were super easy! I made one card base horizontal and the other vertical. On a big clear block, I smoosh just a little bit of Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry Distress Inks and then spritzed it with some water. I pressed each card base in the ink until I was happy with the splotches.

While those were drying I pulled out a sheet thin wood with adhesive backing. Not sure where I picked it up at, it's been in my stash for awhile! I used the Love die from Lawn Fawn and die cutting two from the wood. 

Then I masked off the Love from the Show Me The Love sentiment and just stamped the 'Show Me The' directly on the card. Below that I added the wood Love. Last I added the colored image with foam tape. The layout for both cards are pretty much the same!

Thanks for stopping by!! Happy Stamping!!
