Hello and Happy Friday! Today I have a fun card that I created using the fabulous Ai Girlfriend Blend stamp set SKU# 4132. I absolutely LOVE this set! It makes me smile. These gals look like they are having a great time! It's so fun to color this image too!
The card base is made with kraft cardstock, 6" wide x 5-1/2" tall. I layered the kraft with some Cherry Cobbler cardstock, and rounded the corners with a decorative corner rounder. I chose to use two matching designer papers from a 6"x6" paper pad from Carta Bella (such pretty papers!) on the front. I used a strip of Cherry Cobbler pleated ribbon, and sewed all the layers together onto the kraft base with my sewing machine. For my girlfriend image, I stamped the image with black Memento ink onto Neenah white cardstock. For coloring the image, I used some brand new Spectrum alcohol markers (I am just loving these, they are a lot like Copic markers, just more affordable). I distressed the edges with Vintage distress ink. I used a pretty Stampin Up! die to cut the image out, and I die cut an additional piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock with the same size die, cut it in half, and layered it behind my colored image.
Here
is a close up of my colored image. I also added a some paper piecing to
the woman on the far left. I used matching paper from the same paper
pad. I added two pearls and a dark red crystal for some pretty bling. My
card needed a little something more, so I decided to make my own color
coordinated flower. I had this cute die cut flower set from My Favorite
Things stamps, so I die cut them out, glued them together, and glued
them in place them on the lower right corner.
For the inside I stamped a matching sentiment that comes with the Girlfriend Blend stamp set SKU# 4132. I hope you have enjoyed this fun creation made with fabulous Ai stamps. Thank you for stopping by.
