Happy Birthday Jon!

Hello Ai fans!

This week the Art Impressions Design team is doing a product swap with Marvy! We got the chance to try out several great products. I'm showing you many of them today. I'm sure you'll see a few other's on my blog here and there. Like the Snow Writer. I didn't use it today, but I'll be using it for some future Christmas projects.

Today's project is a birthday card for my brother Jon. Every birthday he seems to end up wearing a crazy hat. I used the Lifetime Set (SKU# 4728). I knew this was the perfect image for his card!

Over the years I have used many great Marvy products, so I was happy to be able to try out more Marvy products. We received an assortment offlesh tone Le Plume Permanent Alcohol markers from Marvy. I used OR820, Or821, OR823 and R813 on my old guys face, hands and legs. The rest of my image was colored with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers. I highlighted the balloon hat with the white Bistro Chalk Marker. It has a nice Fine tip. I also used it on the bow tie to go over some of the dots that had been colored over with red. Lastly I used the Deco Just Glitter Premium Markers for edging. I edged my card with the blue marker and the black layer with the purple marker. I was just careful to go slow while using the glitter markers for edging.

Here is a closer view of my image. I wish you could tell from this photo, but it's on a Mini Action Wobble spring. When you touch the image it springs to life.

As I mentioned above, the face is colored with the Marvy Le Plume Alcohol markers, I used the Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers for the rest of the image.

Winter card featuring the Frosty Fairy Friends stamp set from Lawn Fawn

Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers 5:20 PM

I made a winter card featuring the Lawn Fawn stamp set Frosty Fairy Friends. I colored it with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers. They're so easy to color with because the colors just flow together. The images were stamped with Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink Onto Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock. The background is colored using my Stormy Sky & Cracked pistachio Distress inks. I added in some stars with a Gelly roll pen. All of the layers as well as the images were cut out using my Brother Scan N' Cut Machine. The only layer that wan't cut on the machine is the card base. It's a nesting die cut called Doily Circles from We R Memory keepers.

Wedding Card

Wedding Crd 2:45 PM

I needed to send a congratulations card to a newly married couple. I printed out my standby digi image of the wedding couple & colored it with my Spectrum Noir markers. I printed it onto the cream Recollections paper. I find that their papers are actually pretty good for coloring with my alcohol markers. They have a tiny bit more drag than the Crafter's Companion paper, but it comes in cream.

I started by cutting the card base on my new Cricut Explore Air. I got it on HSN with the Anna Griffin cartridges. I have always loved her style. The new Cricut even scores my card along with cutting it. I'm not talking about a row of perforation, I really mean a score line. I am loving my explore so far. I just needed to add a piece of decorative paper behind the lacy card front. I aged it with Tea Dye Distress ink before I attached it to the decorative paper. I cut another piece of cream decorative paper with the largest oval in the spellbinder set & inked it some. The music note piece was in my scrap drawer. I attacked the ovals & the dancing couple to the card with foam tape. I added some clear wink of stella to the flowers & ribbon on the brides dress & hair.

PAPERS: Recollections Cream card stock, K & Company Life's Journey, vintage music sheets
