Perfect Plaid

 This week's challenge at Art Impressions is "Perfect Plaid" - any plaid will do.  I went with a masculine card with a plaid background.  I created a card for my husband with the Art impression's Bummer stamp set.  Thought he'd get a kick out of the bottom half.  😁Check out the second picture below.  Who doesn't love an interactive card and a wobble bottom?  I also utilized the double stitch circle dies from Art Impressions.

I stamped the images and colored with copic markers.  I fussy cut his bottom half and placed it on an action wobble.   The card is a simple z fold card with partial die cutting of the circle.  You can watch a you tube video that shows how to do this.  I often watch Jennifer McQuire, Sam Calcott or Lynn Dionne (Pink Whispers Designs), who is a designer for Art Impressions.  They all have great inspirational videos.

Hope you enjoy my card for this challenge.  Make sure to check out the Art Impressions blog to see all of the entries and the design team creations.

Elephants are great

 This week's challenge at Art Impressions is "Zoo Crew" - any project with animals.  I can never have enough images of elephants.  Don't know why I'm drawn to them, but I just love them.  So, for this challenge I used the Art Impressions Elephant Twist Tie (#4985) stamp set.  This set is sooo versatile and comes with a die to partial cut the elephants to form the twist of the trunks.  By using the die, you can then fussy cut the remaining part of the elephants and use each of them individually.  Also, soooo easy to color.  I have used this stamp set for soooo many occasions!

I made this card for a friend's new baby girl.  This set is sooo cute for either a boy or a girl, just change the color theme from pink to blue (or any color of choice).  The twist tie cards create a trifold card with a heart shape window.  The twist of the trunks hold the card closed.  Such a cute creative card!  

Enjoy and Happy 4th!
