Hi Friend! from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

I love mushrooms and instantly thought of the Mushroom Cubbies set for the Art Impressions "When One Door Closes" challenge.

I grabbed mushrooms and other elements from a few different Ai sets to complete both the front and inside of my card.

I know most people think of brown when they think of mushrooms but they come in MANY different colors and I love trying out different combinations. In my woods we have orange, white, black, red, yellow, and purple. Probably more if I looked hard enough. We've picked and eaten the Chanterelles and Black Trumpet mushrooms.

 I wanted to make this card extra special so I decorated
the inside of the card pretty elaborately too.

I'm kind of wishing now that I had a little fairy tucked in there somewhere too.
Next time, I guess...

Never Have I Ever Used the Spooky Crew Set from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I have a card that I made for our newest
challenge here on the blog.

Never Have I Ever.

I've never used the new 5934 – Spooky Crew Set.
Halloween is one of my favorite times of year and 
I fell in love with this set instantly!

The frame behind the little critters was cut using 
5063 – Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies and I added

dots in green, yellow and turquoise using

5937 – My Trust Set.

You can enter the challenge by clicking on the banner.

The small sentiment was stamped on a little die from

5543 – Journal Template Die Set. I die cut the words 

Spooky Crew using 5562 – Journal Letter Die Set and

glued them onto a strip from 5463 – Slimline Dies Set.

If you notice the packaging, you'll see that these pumpkins

are actually jack-o-lanterns. I inked up the animals with Memento

Tuxedo black and then I used Tombow N57 to trace around the pumpkins.

Those came out very faint so I used my Micron 005 to trace over those lines.

I also added little dots here and there using my Twin Tone markers in

shades of gray, orange and sax blue.

The grass was cut from a die from 5935 – Fairytale Houses Set and
on the inside I stamped another sentiment from the Spooky Crew set along
with a tree and some more dots. The checked paper is from 
5812 – Christmas S2 Paper Pack.
