Dynamic Duo

 Art Impressions is having a great and fun challenge this week.  It's called "Dynamic Duo" and the point of the challenge is to combine multiple stamp sets into one creative project.  What a fun way to see how your stamps can work together.  

I utilized an oldie but a goodie stamp, Eunice is her name.  I just love her!!  I also utilized the banner from Holiday Mansion Birthday set #5097, the wine hat from the Mrs. Set #5405 and the saying #F3472.  

Both the Mrs. Set and the Holiday Mansion Birthday Sets come with coordinating dies.  Eunice was a old stamp that I had to fussy cut so that the hat would fit over her hair.  Art Impressions stamps are easy to fussy cut so that's a simple task.  This hat, as well as the others in the Mrs. Set, will work with many of the Art Impressions ladies.  You may just have to fussy cut the lady or at least the top of the head to make the hat fit.  That is what makes this challenge so fun, gets your creative juices flowing and the end result will give you good laughs as well as a nice way to change your images.  

I stamped the images on cryogen white paper and colored with my copic markers. I also paper pieced Eunice's shirt.  I stamped the saying on cardstock and cut with the Art Impressions Double Stitched Banner die #5134.

Now that I have tried Eunice with the hats, I'm ready to try some of the other AI ladies.  For example, the Be Happy Laugh lines lady.  This challenge has sparked a monster in me!  Yikes!

Try out this challenge with your stamp sets.  Bet you'll have fun creating! 

Think Pink

 This two-week challenge at Art Impressions is "Pretty in Pink".  These challenges are quite fun because they make you create outside your box.  This one, however, was on the easier side for me since I create a lot of feminine cards, not that you can't create a masculine card in pink.  Check out Sharon Caudle's (design team) card for this challenge.  Love the pink shirts on the men.  It's awesome!!

  I utilized an old Art Impressions stamp set, Little Princess, which I purchased at the AI warehouse sale a couple of years ago.  This stamp set made for a great baby girl shower card and isn't she 'pretty in pink'?  Such a little cutie!

I stamped this little cutie on cryogen white paper and colored her with copic markers.  Easy coloring, which is always a plus.  😀 The background die frame is from my stash.  

Hope you enjoy my card!  Have a great day!
