Loungin' Linda is retired and rehydrated! by Sharon Caudle

 Hello AI Fans!

Oh my word, I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am with this new release by Bonnie, not to even mention the corresponding paper!!!!  I am in pure heaven!!  I chose to show you #6077 Loungin' Linda today! I have always been obsessed with Bonnie's characters she creates!! They just ooze personality!! And these five brand new ladies are no different! They are so fun and full of life!!! So without further ado, here is my card featuring the amazing Loungin' Linda!!!

I stamped the fun image onto a Copic friendly paper with Memento Tuxedo black ink and then colored her with the Copic markers listed below. With my white gel pen, I created flowers on her swimsuit, adding a dot from a dark blue gel pen in the center of each flower. I plopped into a super simple scene by using a few dies from my stash to create the look of water and sand. 

So that's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and until next time - stay crafty!!

Copic markers:

E000, 00, 11, 33, 35, 50, and 53

B00, 91, 93, and 95

I'm retired, go around! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!
The current challenge at Art Impressions is Masculine Masterpieces.

I needed a retirement card for a female coworker which is how this card began. Once I made hers I thought that it would be really nice for a man as well. The colors worked well for men or women so I created this version for the challenge.

This guy is READY for retirement!

5406 – Mr. Set

I tried to convince him not to pack his black socks but he insisted.
At least he's not wearing them with sandals.

I hope you guys aren't getting sick of my shaker dome cards. I just can't get enough of them! I love interactive cards and these little shakers are so fun and easy to use.
5808 – 5pk Snow Globe Shaker Dome

The fun "cruise ready" lady and the accessories are from 4932 – Pack Your Bags Set.

The small happy retirement sentiment is from 5187 – Happy Trails Set.

I used the 5726 – Nested Circle Dies to cut the paper that went behind the cruise ship in the dome.

The fun sentiment on the front is from 5115 – Birthday Laugh Lines.

I will NEVER get sick of these domes and I have so many more ideas swirling in my head.

Stay tuned...

Happy Retirement Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a retirement card created with the 4900-Reel Great Guys Set and the 5187-Happy Trails Set!

I started by stamping the cute little doggie image and colored him with Copic Markers. This dog looks so happy and relaxed, perfect for a retirement card!

To complete the scene, I stamped palm trees from the Happy Trails Set and ink blended the sky and water. A white gel pen was used to add highlights and waves; I love the sparkle on the tube!

Lastly, I added layers of yellow, blue, and gold glitter paper before adding the card to a white card base. 

I hope you enjoyed this retirement card and are having a great day!
