Centerstep card

Hi AI Fans!

Sometimes I want to have a part of a stamp. Here I have masked a part of a stamp.

  When you do this it´s  important  that you are careful how you mask your stamp

Upptown Girls U 4133

I masked off,  two of  the girls on this card. Do not forget to remove the mask before you stamp.

I hope you try it. In this way, you get a lot of new opportunities with your stamps.

Hi AI Fans

I hope you had a greate New year. I made a card with this lovely cat  Feline Flop (M4186)

and  the "HUGS" text comes from Valentine Bear Set (4218) 

 I´ll try to describe how to make grass under someone who is lying in the grass.

It becomes a series of images.

Color the stamp first, when you started with the grass, you can not go back and touch up any.

Paint where you whant have the shadows under the subject, and color the ground below.

I have´t paint the ground on this because I want you to se the gras.

Start with pen / brush at the grass root and paint / draw upward. 

Grass usually grows in tufts, unless you have a perfect lawn: O).

Draw grass that goes up on the subject

Varying shades of green, until you're satisfied, then cut out your stamp.

Good luck!

Zoo Crew's Feathered Fiasco by Jessica Griffin

Hi friends! Hope you're enjoying your weekend. I've been working with the new Zoo Crew images, and had the pleasure of working with Feathered Fiasco!

He's so cute, I almost fell bad for him when I saw his sad little face! :( I know those days, all to well!

I did a quick video while coloring the Flamingo and water. Unfortunately, I've been having some computer/camera problems while recording, and it cut out before I could finish. But, you'll be able to see the colors I used, and the process. Also how simple it is to use FlexMarkers. When you buy the sentiment it does come whole. As in, "bad day in progress... stand clear" as one stamp. However, to get the words to stamp around the Flamingo as such, I had to cut them apart. It wasn't too difficult, but, I do suggest if you are going to cut them apart, make sure you have a good pair of scissors!

Lastly, people ALWAYS ask me what paper I use. I never think to add it into my posts, but I always use the same paper. I buy it at the paper mill! When I lived in Texas I bought from Clampitt Paper. Their prices are great! Anyways, I use Finch Fine Color Copy 80#. I really like their paper, but love that they make paper with our Environment in mind.

Well, that's all from me today! Happy Saturday friends, have a great weekend!
