A Beautiful Birthday Lily from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing the card that I made for my Mother-in-law's birthday.

I used 5374 – Lily Border Set

and

5200 – Butterfly Set.

Both sets are from the Ai Bible Journaling series.

I made a second version in slightly different colors just to have on hand.

I stamped the butterfly twice so that I could pop the wings up on the top copy to give the illusion of fluttering.

I found the die on Amazon.  It's called mesh.  I can't remember who I bought mine from but here's a link if you're interested.

Butterfly Wreath from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing my first attempt at using the new 5266 – Greenery Invites and 5200 – Butterfly Set.

I also used the 5064 – Circle Double Stitched Dies.  I offset the center circle a bit because I wanted more gold at the bottom.

I fussy cut all of the pieces and arranged them until I was happy.

They're partially water colored and partially colored with Copic markers.  I like the look that it created.

Pastel On the Sparrow from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing another card with the On the Sparrow Bible Journaling Set from Art Impressions. 

I'm not a religious person and don't own a Bible but I do very much LOVE these sets. I know a lot of spiritual people and plan to use the sentiments to make cards for them.

I've been on a recent mission to make some bird cards for a friend.

I know she'll love this.

I used the 5064 – Circle Double Stitched Dies

from Ai to frame the beautiful bird.

My Fortress from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing one of the Bible Journaling sets from Art Impressions.

This one is called 5069 – My Fortress Set.

I wanted to create a dimensional look to the card so I used a clear front.

For even more dimension some of the elements on the front are popped up on foam tape.

I apologize for the photos. I had trouble with the acetate and even photographing the inside because I had to hold the acetate up to take the pictures.

Here's the full scene on the inside.

On the Sparrow from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a card made with 5130 – On The Sparrow Set, one of the new Bible Journaling sets from Art Impressions.

I have a friend who taught me all about birds.

Her mother passed and her dad is without his wife for the first time in over 60 yrs. She recently took the front off of a card I made for her and glued it to a plain white card. He told her it was the prettiest card he'd ever seen. She asked me to make some more bird cards that she could send to him.

Birds are something Sandy and her father have bonded over and she passed on that love to me buying me feeders, food and magazine subscriptions to Birds and Blooms.  She opened my eyes to a beautiful world that was right outside my own window.

This beautiful set includes several images and sentiments.

Perfect for so many occasions.

As The Deer Set from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a watercolor card.

I've used one of the new Bible Journaling sets, 5128 – As The Deer Set.



My card goes along with Art Impressions current challenge.

I made this card for my friend. She was going through something and I wanted her to know she wasn't alone.



She's a very spiritual person and I knew she would love this set.

This is the inside of her card where I used one of the verses from the set.



I made a second version where I added another tree to the left of the deer and I got brave and darkened up the colors just a bit.
