Hey friends! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Today, I am sharing a collection of simple and clean card designs featuring the Lovable Animals set by Art Impressions. These cards are perfect for Ai’s current animal challenge, “Lions, Tigers, and Bears, Oh My!”. These projects are featured on the Ai blog today, check them out here.
The Lovable Animals set is so much fun! It comes with four adorable characters and a variety of accessories for the animals to hold so that they can show their love!
First, I cut the front panel to be 3.75″ x 5″. Next I trimmed a piece of masking paper to the same dimensions and die cut the large heart (die included in the Lovable Animals set) from the masking paper. I placed the mask over the front panels and ink blended over the heart opening with Distress Oxide inks. The colors I used include:
Pink: Kitsch Flamingo and Picked Raspberry
Blue: Stormy Sky and Faded Jeans
Yellow: Squeezed Lemonade and Wild Honey
Green: Mowed Lawn and Pine Needles
After blending, I used water to create an ink resisting effect and to add texture to the inked heart design.
Once the ink blended areas were dry I stamped the coordinating sentiments with pigment black ink and heat embossed the sentiments with clear embossing powder. I used foam tape to attach the front panel to the white background piece.
I colored the animals and their accessories with my Copic Sketch markers. I attached the characters to the card front with foam circles.
Hope these cards have inspired you today. Check out some more of my Art Impressions creations here!
