Play Time by Dana Warren

Hello AI fans!!

I have another summer card for you! It finally cooled off a little, but I know it will warm up! This card features the Tan It set!! 

I started by stamping the summer lady and the extra behind stamp on white cardstock. Then I used my Spectrum Noir ColourBlend pencils to color her up! I used: Linen, Cream, Cider, Royal Blue, Reef Blue, Black, Pewter, Daisy, Mustard, Pumpkin, Carmine, Jade.  I die cut her out with a fancy rectangle. 

With the matching die I cut out her behind. Then I added it with an action wobble! Then I trimmed up some pattern paper from Carta Bella Soak Up the Sun Collection. I added it to a white card base.

Next, I added the stamped and colored panel to the card. I decided to not use the sentiment in the set, instead used a couple stickers from the collection pack, Playtime, and Adventure! This comes in handy if you happen to need a quick card!!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!!

If you can't TONE it...TAN it!! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

It may be Fall outside but a girl can dream.  With Art Impressions Tan It Set from the SHAKERS line it can be summer all year long!  

There are so many new Shakers including lots for the upcoming Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.  If you're not familiar with the Shaker stamps listen up!  They're interactive.  In this case you attach her little tushie to her using a WOBBLE and it shakes.

The beach lady comes with a verse too!

This is a second version that I made with her.
