Plant Memories Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Art Impressions friends!

Tasha here sharing a new card created with the pretty 6186-FG Tulip Border Stamp Set. I love tulips and this clear stamp makes it so easy to add a boarder of tulips to any card or project.

I started by stamping the tulips before using a scalloped rectangle die to cut the center card. After, I colored the images with Copic Markers and blended yellow ink around the border to bring in more color. The purple and yellow colors look fantastic together!

The stamp set includes a sentiment, but I used a greeting from the 5734-Friend Sentiment Set. I like the playful font style and it fit perfectly in the center. To add a little extra detail, I added two little bee embellishments to two ends. 

Lastly, I attached a purple scalloped layer to frame the center card before adding a piece of plaid pattern paper. I also attached silver glitter paper, purple card stock and tan card stock to complete the project.

I hope you enjoyed today's card and will be inspired to create a fun floral design. 

 

Summer Florals and Vintage Truck by Jami Steiger

Happy morning! It's my weekend with watercolors. Because the Tulip Floral Set 6061 is so lovely, I made extra cards to paint the beautiful flowers, so this month I made more than two cards. I adore the 6066 Classic Truck Foundation. Vintage trucks have always been a favorite of mine. 

Tombow Markers: 403, 126, 565, 969, 856, 947, 679, 177, 899, 515, 817, and 947

I began by taping off the edges of my truck card to ensure that the painting would be 3 by 4. I then die-cut the painting with a stitching die so I could stitch around the edges. I wrapped a thin blue ribbon around the front of the card and mounted it on matching cardstock. The Little Things Sentiment Set 5797 collection includes this sentiment. I die-cut the banner using a die from the Journal Template Die Set 5543 and then embellished it with pearls.

Tombow Markers: 158, 098, 177, 228, 603, 673, 401, 553, 062, 025, and 946

The following three cards were all made in the same way. I used the Circle Double Stitched dies 5064 to die-cut each painting after I had finished painting it on watercolor paper. I then used coordinating paper to cut out a circle for each. I used the Fairy Garden paper pack 5939 to make the blue tulip card. The card bases were made using a 3D embossing leaf folder. I finished the cards by adding ribbon and gemstones.

Tulips and a Tired Little Easter Bunny

Hello Ai fans!

I am so excited to be here and sharing with you my very first card for the Ai design team.  I have a beautiful Easter card to share with you from the set 5004 - Sweet Easter. 

I thought this image was so soft and pretty that I wanted to keep the colors softer. I wanted to frame the flowers and bunny, being he is the focal point.  I thought the oval in the 4700 - Scallop Easel Die would work perfect.  I also wanted to give some dimension to the card so if you look close you can see I glued the bottom pot down and the half way up I added foam tape.  For the flowers though I doubled up the foam tape to really make them pop. It is really hard to see in the picture but I added some Wink of Stella to the tulips and the little fuzzy bunny to make them shine. As you get to know me you will find out … I LOVE Wink of Stella.

I left the inside blank so you could write a nice note to the person receiving it. 

 This sentiment also comes with the stamp set 5004 - Sweet Easter.

Thank you so much for welcoming me and checking out my first post for the Ai design team.  I look forward to making crafty friends with all of you!
