Vacation Vibes! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Art Impressions friends! 

Tasha here sharing a card inspired by the current Art Impressions Challenge. I used the fun 6075 -Cruisin' Carol Stamp Set to create a bright tropical scene that feels like a relaxing beach getaway.

For the background, I cut a scalloped rectangle from the 6098 -Cruise Paper Pack. This paper is awesome and has some of the cutest patterns for cards and projects. I love all the designs included in this cruise-themed paper pack!

To continue the tropical theme, I stamped the sentiment “Vacation Vibes” onto a simple white banner and attached blue and white striped patterned paper. This pattern always makes me think of summer days and beach vacations.

To finish the card, I added layers of golden yellow, white, and bright blue cardstock to coordinate with the colors throughout the scene. 

Have a wonderful day!

Seas the Day! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Art Impressions friends!

Tasha here sharing a new card created with the 6075-Crusin’ Carol Set and the 6098-Cruise Paper Pack. I’ve been loving all the new Ai People sets, and this one is extra special to me; I LOVE cruising!

For this project, I went with bright tropical colors; perfect for a Caribbean getaway! One of my favorite parts of cruising is trying all the fun fruity drinks, and Carol is definitely on cruise control with her frozen cocktail in hand. Time to kick off that vacation!

The background came together super fast since it’s one of the awesome pre-printed sheets from the Cruise Paper Pack. Just add Carol and you’ve got an instant vacation scene; I love how easy and vibrant it turned out!

To finish the card, I layered tan, white, and navy cardstock along with a fun anchor-patterned paper to match the cruise theme. I also added one of the included sentiments to tie everything together.

Hope you enjoyed today’s project and that you're having a fabulous day!

Vacation Vibes! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Art Impressions friends!

Tasha here, and today I’m excited to share a new card featuring the fabulous 6075-Cruisin’ Carol Set. I absolutely love tropical getaways, and Carol is clearly all set for sunshine, relaxation, and a fruity drink or two!

To start off, I stamped the fun Carol image along with the little suitcase using black hybrid ink. I then used the coordinating dies to cut them out before coloring with Copic Markers. I kept the color palette vibrant and tropical, and to match the theme, I created a beach-inspired background using layers of patterned paper. For the center card, I used the 5063-Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies to give it a clean, polished edge.

To add a bit of sparkle (because who doesn’t love a little glitter?), I layered in some silver glitter paper. Once that center piece was complete, I built up the rest of the card using dark purple, white, and lavender cardstock, along with a gorgeous floral patterned paper from Ai. The purple flowers really caught my eye and inspired the purples I used in Carol’s outfit; so fun to coordinate everything!

For the finishing touches, I stamped “Vacation Vibes” onto a small banner and added some white gel pen accents to highlight a few details to complete the design!

I hope today’s card inspires you to craft something sunny and fun using the Cruisin’ Carol Set!

Sun and Paradise Vacation Card by Nina

 Hello Ai fans, Nina here with a cute vacation card that I created for  our current challenge V for Vacation. I am using the Seas The Day set.

I started by stamping my images using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and my Mini Misti and colored them using my Copic markers. When I stamped the trees I tried to stamp them separately since I am going to place them apart from each other.

Copic Shades:

Greens: YG67 YG17 YG23 YG25

Browns: E99 E43 E42 E29 E19 

Greys: C0 C1 C2 

Reds: R21 R20 R29 R27

Blues: B34 B24 B32

Pinks: RV13 RV14 

Yellows: YR24 Y08 

Black: W10

I then cut the images and added white gel pen on the areas that I got rid of around the chairs that showed the connecting lines.

For the scene background I die cut a panel with irregular edges using a die from the Halloween add on for the Journal Template twice.

I used a masking tape on the background panel to ink blend sand area at the bottom of the card then sea in the middle and finished of with the sky on top.

I layered two panels of irregular edges on a card base and attached my images on the sand area and also added some travel bags in front of the trees to complete my scene.

I cut the word Paradise from pink card stock and glued it to the bottom of the card and decorated around it with a Copic markers and enamel dots.
