Housework Can't Kill You by Niccole

Hello Ai fans!! 

I am stopping by today to share a card I made for you using the 5110-Housework Set from Art Impressions. I think a lot of us feel this way about cleaning. LoL

I started by using a stencil on my background and using transfer gel.  You let that dry and add your foil to the front and run it through your laminator.  I love the imperfections of the foil on the paper.

I cut a black round circle with my Circle Double Stitched Dies and added to the front of my foiled panel.I Copic colored my main image. I added my sentiment which is also from the Housework set. 

I added my sentiment to the bottom of my card.  I popped my main image up with foam tape onto my black circle.  I finished it off with orange Nuvo Drops.

Once again here is the full card.  I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday and please come back again soon to see what I have been up to.  Happy stamping!!

Halloween Pumpkins by Niccole Kulig

Hello Ai fans!!

I am stopping by today to share a Halloween card I made using the 5038 - Ghoul Friend set  and some Wink of Stella. I was a fun card to make that's for sure.

It is a pretty straight forward card layout this week.  I stamped my Happy Halloween bottom center. I layered my orange paper, and black paper. The white paper is on top of the black paper. I only use what I have to of my stripe paper so I cit 1/4" strips and added them to the top and bottom of my white paper stamped with my strand of pumpkin lanterns. I colored my pumpkins last with my Copic markers. 

As you can see above I used a super fine Sharpie marker to join the two stamps together.  I thought the loop in the string would add to the card, like a loop in the stand of pumpkin lanterns. I didn't let the imperfections of my marker skills bother me because when you look at the whole card the strand is not perfectly straight to begin with. 

I thought the cute pumpkins needed a little something so I finished them off with some Wink of Stella. Why ... because everything looks better with Wink of Stella in my opinion LOL.

Here is one more look at the card.  You will probably see more Halloween cards from me ... it is my favorite holiday after all. Pumpkin everything for this girl 😊  Thank you for spending a little time with me and please check back again real soon for more Ai inspiration.
