Selma is Born to be Wild from Art Impressions Stamps!!

Hello AI Fans!
 
I wanted to play with Selma this week, and if this little chicklette wasn't Born to be Wild, well I don't know who is! Sometimes I like to cut apart my stamped sentiment and pop it up on the card with some dimensional tape. Just adds another little element of interest to it. This is another square card, so don't forget to get yours linked up to the current challenge Hip to be Square for a chance to win!! You can find these and many other amazing and fun stamps over at Art Impressions!




Copics used:  skin: E11, 01, 00, 000, R20  ocean:BG11, 13, 15, 18   Sand: E31, 33, 35  Sky and clouds:  B00, 000, C1, C3  suit: B12, 14, 16, YG11, 13, 17, YR04, 07, 09   hair: YR02, 04, 07
 
Thanks so much for stopping by today and hope you get some time to be crafty this weekend!

Art Impressions - Hip To Be Square challenge!!!

Hey AI Fans!!!!

The current challenge at Art Impressions Blog is "hip to be square"!! So we'd love it if you'd make a square card and join us in the challenge! I had a lot of fun with Gordon Golfer and Goldie Golfer Set from Art Impressions Stamps. I just masked Gordon off and stamped Goldie behind him. I thought the look on his face went perfectly with Goldie's sentiment. heehee  I think he needed to take a Mulligan with this shot!! What do you think??




 I colored them with Copic markers and just matted them with Bazzill cardstock. Didn't want a single thing to detract from this couple! Please be sure and pop over to the Art Impressions Blog to check out all the other amazing creation by the Design Team! Thanks so much for stopping by today and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!!
