Stampin' In Alaska

  I'm joining the current challenge at Art Impressions - Feeling Crafty.  My card features the adorable AI Frogs set .  The image was stamped onto Stampin' Up! Kraft cardstock and colored with Prismacolor pencils.  A sentiment from the same set was stamped onto the front panel. The inside panel features papers and a fun sentiment block from Echo Park Happy Birthday paper pad.  Stampin' Up! Night of Navy cardstock was used as base panel.

  I'm playing along with the current challenge at Art Impressions - Monochromatic .  My card features the adorable Frog Set .  The image was colored with Copic Markers.  I went through my paper scraps and die cut several circles from coordinating papers.  An easy sketch with the circles randomly randomed onto an embossed panel. The sentiments with this set are so fun.  I've included another as an inside sentiment:  "I've been toad you're having a birthday!"

  I'm joining the current challenge at Art Impressions which is Pop It Up! - Popping up elements on the card.  My card features AI 5283 Frog Set .   I've stamped, colored and fussy cut a couple of images from the set.  I popped up the frog on dimension tape.  The image panel is popped up with a base which will flatten for mailing. The image panel was layered onto papers from Carta Bella Summer Market.  A coordinating sentiment from the set, gems and gingham ribbon finish the card.

I was so honored when Art Impressions invited me to be their Guest Designer for July.  I have been a customer and fan of AI for many years.  My local stamp store carried the AI line and it was "love at first sight" for me.   Today I chose to create a fun birthday card with the adorable Art Impressions Frog set .  The image was stamped and wet embossed then colored with alcohol markers and fussy cut.  I created the base panel with Tim Holtz Rays stencil using Memento Tangelo and Dandelion inks.  A few gems and "Hoppy Birthday" sentiment complete the card.
