Christmas Came Early Challenge by Nina

 Hello Ai friends, Nina here and today I have a cute slimline card for our current challenge "Christmas Came Early". I used Snowflakes Frames, Christmas Wonder Set, Christmas Truck Set (for the tree and Gifts) and Double Stitched Slimline Dies.

I stamped all the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink using my Mini Misti and colored the images with a lot of Copic shades :)

Copic Shades:

Greens: YG95 YG67 YG17 YG23 YG01

Reds: R39 R27 R29

Yellow: Y08 Y06

Beige: E40 E42 E43

Greys: C0 C1 C2

Blues: B05 B02

Browns: E99 YR27 YR24

Black: C08 W10

I then cut the images and backed them with foam tape to give the card some fun dimension.

I used a die from Double Stitched Slimline Die Set to cut the background from white paper and then added some irregular inking with the ink blender and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink. It was not a homogenous blending I wanted to leave some areas white since it is a snowy scene.

I die cut another piece of the background using the same slimline die and used the scissors to cut two hillsides of different heights.

I glued the taller hillside to the background and then attached the other one on top with foam tape to raise it with dimension which leaves a gap between both hills to tuck my images that I colored earlier in between.

I assembled my images starting with the house tucked it in between the hillsides and added the Christmas trees next to it. I attached one a little tucked behind the house and the other in the center on top both of them.

I then attached the adorable singing kids image to the other side of the card with their singing cat :) and finally added the Christmas gifts next to the trees.

I die cut some snow flakes from the snowflakes Frames die set and scattered some around the scene and finally finished everything with a scrap of light blue paper behind the whole panel.

Dad's Birthday Slimline Card by Nina

 Hello Ai fans, it is Nina here with a fun slimline card for a father's birthday using the recent Tool Shed Matchbook set, Journal Letter Die Set set and Double Stitched Slimline Dies.

I stamped my images using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Bristol Smooth White paper and my Mini Misti.

I colored them with Copic Markers and cut all the images.

Copic Shades:

Orange: YR09 YR07 YR04

Greens: YG25 YG23

Yellow: Y17 Y08 Y15

Brown: W3 W2

Grey: C4 C2

I die cut the background using Art Impressions Double Stitched Slimline Dies and smooched it against my glass mat that had a layer of Blue Distress Ink shades sprayed with water. I used Mermaid Lagoon, Speckled Egg and Broken China Distress Inks.

I then glued an orange strip at the bottom as if it is the ground underneath my images. I backed my images with foam tape and attached them on top of the orange ground to assemble a workshop.

I die cut the letters to create Happy birthday phrase and glued it to the background. I decorated around the sentiment with enamel dots and star stickers then backed the whole panel with foam sheet and attached to a yellow cardstock.
