Floating Flamingo ...

Good morning! Ruza here to share a FUN Summer card with you featuring the Floating Flamingo (H287) along with the State of Mind Sentiment (D297) from Great Impressions Stamps.

I couldn't resist getting the new adorable Floating Flamingo to play with. I stamped this beauty with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, colored her up with my Copic Markers, used my Copic Airbrush around the image and cut her out with my Pierced Square Die. 

Once done I pulled out some FUN Summer DP to create my background, adding the State of Mind Sentiment to the bottom panel which I Airbrushed to match my Floating Flamingo panel. Final step was to layer the Floating Flamingo panel with 3D Foam Tape to my card design.

Just a friendly reminder about our current Great Impressions Challenge ... 

Make you stop by for all of the details, and if you use some Great Impressions Stamps make sure you link them up in our Customer Gallery!

Until next week ... Enjoy!

Relax ... Unwind ...

Good morning, and Happy 4th of July to all of our US Followers!

Ruza here to share a card that features the adorable Beachy Penguins (F542) and State of Mind Sentiment (D506), available at Great Impressions Stamps.

These Beachy Penguins are so adorable I couldn't resist playing with them. I stamped the penguins a couple of times on white cardstock and DP to do a little paper-piecing. The rest was colored with Copic Markers, and Distress Ink was used to create the sky and color in the sand. Circle Nestabilities dies were used to frame the main image of the penguins prior to paper-piecing. Next I popped the cut-out panel onto my background with 3D Foam Tape.

After adding the State of Mind Sentiment on the bottom I created the sandy texture with Distress Ink and a dauber. The final step was to add 3D Crystal Lacquer to the glasses.

Great Impressions Stamps is Sponsoring the next Mod Squad Challenge,

Hello, and happy Saturday!
It's my day to post a project for Great Impressions Stamps, and as it is also Independence Day, it was only fitting to use some red, white, and blue when creating today's fun card!

Mabel and Vera are back, and they are eager to show you their
flip flops, swim rings, shades, and hats!

For this card, I used:
Great Impressions J118-Mabel & Vera Beachin'
Great Impressions E872 Beach Sand
Great Impressions D506-State of Mind

This view shows the card flat for mailing.

Here is a shot of the easel card all propped up for display in a fun spot.

And finally, here is the sentiment on the inside of the card.
I love my flip-flops, and this sentiment makes me smile out loud!
