Worth their Weight by Bri Firth

Hello Ai Fans - Bri here! Today I am sharing a simple card design featuring the 4049 - The Weigh In Set. This project theme is perfect for Ai's current challenge, "Tickle Our Funny Bone", as it features a comical group of girlfriends trying to get in shape for summer. This stamp set is part of Ai's Girlfriends collection. For more details on how I created this card keep reading below.

First I stamped the image on a plain white A2 sized card front. I used my Copic markers to color up the girls and the rest of the scene. The colors I used are listed at the end of this blog post. To finish the card I stamped the sentiment in pigment black ink. It's such a funny quote!

Check back next week for more Ai inspiration made by me!

The Weigh In with Cheryl Valadez

Hello, Ai Fans!  Cheryl here and I've been busy partaking in 

the holiday festivities by baking and enjoying LOTS 

of Yuletide treats.  Boy oh boy, do I LOVE this time of year ;)

Unfortunately, come January I will have to make friends with

my bathroom scale again.  We have a love/hate relationship, so who 

knows how this reunion will turn out...lol!  

I think this image (The Weigh In) says it all.

Hope December is treating you well ;)  

Until next time, stay crafty!
