Stampin' In Alaska

  The current Art Impressions challenge #301 is celebrating our creativity in 2020.  We have been asked to either repost a favorite AI creation or create with a favorite set from 2020.  My card features the AI Love Birds set .  You can find my original post from January 2020 Here .  This card went to our Pastor and his wife for this Anniversary last year.  

I'm joining the current Art Impressions challenge with a fun Anniversary card.  The current challenge is Hugs & Kisses so I couldn't resist pulling out this image from the AI Love Birds set . Their shirt and dress were paper pieced with designer paper from MME Love Me paper pad.  The base panel is from the same pad.  I couldn't resist combining the "Love" page with this couple!  The images were colored with Copic markers and fussy cut. A lightly sponged stencil background, pearl earring and sequins finish the card.  To fit the "Love" sentiment, the finished card size is 6.25 x 5.  Bigger than my normal cards, but I really like the end result. Thanks for taking a look!! I'm sharing my card with the following: Art Impressions challenge:  #273 Hugs & Kisses! QKR Stampede:  Challenge #380 Anything Goes Cute Card Thursday:  #616 Embellish

I'm sneaking in a very last minute entry for the current challenge at Art Impressions .  We were asked to use Patriotic colors.  My clean and simple design features the USA colors of red, white and blue. I was the lucky winner of a Misti stamp tool a couple of years ago.  I decided to dust it off and make my two Anniversary cards identical.  This was a big help! These cuties were stamped twice onto watercolor paper with black pigment ink then colored with Tombow markers and blended with an SU blender pen.  I love the finished look.  I finished with a doodled border on each card. I'm sharing my card with the following: Art Impressions Challenge:  #325 Patriotic Colors Simon Says Stamp Monday:  Red/White and/or Blue Simon Says Stamp Wednesday: Red/White and/or Blue   Word Art Wednesday:  Anything Goes #342-343 Penny Black and More Challenge:  July - Things with Wings
