Try-fold and watercolor

Hello Ai fans!

For my card today I used one single stamp from the gazebo try-fold stamp set. 


Paired with water color, it's an easy way to add a little sunshine to a friends day! :)









Have a beautiful weekend!

Don't Hate Me by Judith

Hello Ai Fans!

Have you ever noticed the wonderful selection of Ai Dog stamps that are available? There are so many great dog breeds to choose from - perfect for any dog lover!

I went super simple with my card today and used this cute little Chihuahua image. LOL, I think Chihuahua's are pretty ugly dogs really (sorry), so I'm being a bit 'tongue in cheek' to match him with this fun 'Don't hate me' sentiment :)


Copics used:
Chihuahua: E35, E31, E50, R00

Have a fabulous day :)

Selma ~ by Sherry Eckblad

We are finally enjoying some great weather here in Minnesota. We still have snow but at least I can see over the tops of cars now.

Buzzard Set by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!
I have a masculine card to share with you today using one of the fun Zoo Crew images: Buzzard Set (Sku#4194).  I find guy cards a little bit harder to embellish... so I tend to keep them on the simpler side, but I used a chevron embossing folder on my cardstock background to give the card a little extra texture and jazz it up a little:
There is still time to participate in our Getting Girly challenge!  We want you to share your fun girly cards, maybe with a little pink, maybe with a little bling?  You can find the post here!
Happy stamping everyone!
Copics used: Feathers: W7, W5, W3, W1
Tummy: Y26, Y23, Y21
Beak/talons: YR18, YR15, YR12
