Number One FAN! by Kerry

Hello Ai fans and happy Monday!

Hope you had a great weekend.  For the past couple weeks, I have been glued to my television and watching the amazing Olympics games for the past couple of weeks.  Which inspired me to make a card using the Sports Fan Shaker set.  Better yet, I can use the new mini wobbles!  Totally fun!

Copic markers used: 

B24, B26, B28, BV00, C1, C3, C5, C7, E000, E00, E19, E53, G14, R05, Y15, Y28, YR23

#1 Fan!

Hi Ai Fans!

With Father's day coming this weekend I thought the Art Impressions "Sports Fan Shaker" set would make the perfect Card!

I coloured my image with Copic Sketch Markers and added Diamond Stickles to the "#1 Fan" and the word "you". The paper is from the fun and bright Doodlebug Back to School 6x6 paper pad. I added a few Fish Flag banners and stamped the word "Dad". It's hard to see with the polka dot paper but I added a few enamel dots too. The foam finger is popped up with an action wobble for some fun interaction!

Click play to see this #1 Fan in action!

I printed the sentiment on my computer to go with the "Sports Fan Shaker".

Copics Used:

Skin: E50, E51, r20

Reds: R24, R27, R29

Blues: B26, B28, B29

Shoes: N1, N3, N5

You still have time to enter into our current Challenge

Happy Stamping!
