Make A Card Monday!

Hello everyone and happy Monday!
This last week completely escaped me as I worked on getting things together for my oldest daughters birthday party this coming Saturday. 
She wants a Maleficent party which I'm having a blast creating things for. 
While I was shopping at Michael's for spooky inspiration I just couldn't stay out of the stamp isle and I happened to stumble upon these stamp sets from Art Impressions.

That's right! Art Impressions is now in Michael's stores! 
How awesome is that? I can see my collection growing by the second!
I picked up the beach babes set (pictured in the middle) I wanted to grab that set with the airplane but it was already sold out, so I'll be searching for that every trip.
So taking a little break from the Maleficent projects I created this little card.

 The girlfriend stamps kill me! I just adore them. 
I kept it very clean and simple. Stamped it onto SSS white cardstock 
and colored directly on the card base. 
SSS cardstock is the best I've found so far that wont the copics wont bleed through to the inside of the card.

 I tried to not be very fussy about my coloring and stick to two colors and not blend as much like the art impression sets look. 
I also added glossy accents to the sunglasses as well as the drink glasses.

 These little ladies will be perfect to enter into this weeks Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge being that this weeks theme is "You Gotta Have Friends"

Using Kraft ink from MFT's new Hybrid ink collection I stamped the girlfriends again on the inside and used versafine to stamp the sentiment.
That's all for the card today.
Head on over to the SSS Wednesday challenge to participate you have until Wed  8am Ohio time. 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in.

CMCC#21...Colour Me...Subtle

Hello everyone! Hope you all are enjoying your Memorial Day weekend. I have been enjoying the extra crafting time I've been finding this weekend!
I stumbled upon a new challenge blog...a color challenge blog which is fantastic! 
You can check out there blog here
Here is the color inspiration for challenge number 21...
Isn't it beautiful?! I love this color combo, in fact I immediately broke out my new Art Impressions Deco Set to use for this challenge.
This was my first time using the DIY decoupage sets from Art Impressions and I have to say I rather enjoy them. They're a great way to test out the images before buying the stamps. Plus they are just adorable. These ladies always make me smile. 
Kept this card pretty simple, just popped up with dimensionals added some bakers twine and Wink of Stella glitter and done!
Thats all for today, I think Simple is going to be my theme for the day....Simple Sunday sounds nice!
Order pizza and craft some more....yup, works for me!
Have a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend!

Super Simple Sunday

Hello everyone!
Today I want to show you a card I made using one of my newest Art Impressions Girlfriends stamp!
This is the Art Impressions Girlfriend Blend stamp and I just love it! 
My Nana is always wanting cards from me to give to her girlfriends and these are just perfect for them. She told me whenever I send her a new box of cards she puts them out on the table at brunch and the ladies practically fight over them on the table :)
The girlfriends sets always seem to be their favorite.

So here is the card. I kept it super simple, focusing mainly on my Copic coloring and the sharp angles. I've been trying to steer away from my normal straight lines/layers.
I even forced myself to try different skin tone combinations on this card and I have to say I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.
Well I'll keep this short and sweet today. I hope you all enjoyed and I'll see you next time!
