Queen for a Day

Today I'm featuring a card that I made for a friend of mine.  She is our Copic Queen.  She got me hooked on copic markers after seeing the cards that she creates.  I LOVE the way she colors images, especially Art Impression images, and I aspire to be like her.  Maybe one day she will pass down her crown to me.  πŸ™πŸ˜Š

I used the silhouette to cut the crown shaped card out of black and gold glitter cardstock.  I also used jewels to "bling" up the crown and make it sparkle.  The image is from the Art Impressions Crown set.  I just love her!  She has attitude without the need for a sentiment, however, I included one anyway just to add emphasis.  πŸ˜€  


Hope this adds a little sparkle to your day!
Stay safe and healthy!

American horse

   This is the season for Rodeo's and July 4th celebrations.  Unfortunately in our city these events were cancelled due to the Coronavirus.  So sad, but it is what it is - for this year, at least!  Like everyone else, I look forward to the good times again.  In the meantime, let's make the best of it and enjoy the fact that we are healthy and get to create fun cards - Whoo hoo!!  

  For the Art Impressions Challenge this week, I used an old AI stamp and die set called Horse PopCard.  It was intended as a pop up card (when you open up the card, the image pops up) but I changed it to be three dimensional on the front.  I could have even put the horses head on a wobble, but to be honest, I just thought about that.  So many ways that you can change up these stamps and make them interactive and fun.


I hope you enjoy my card and it makes you smile!
Have a great week and keep creating!!
