CAS Game #199 at the AAA Cards challenge is No Layers + optional twist Hugs. Who doesn’t like hugs? CAS and no layers is a little more difficult for me. This was my third attempt to create this girlfriend card.
After stamping my image in VersaFine Clair nocturne black ink, I heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I really need to remember that this ink stays very wet which is why this is my third attempt….inky fingers make inky marks!! Anyway it is easier for me to color when I heat emboss my images so all is good. After coloring in my girlfriends with a variety of markers and pencils, I added the sentiment across their feet. It was just too funny to put in the inside of the card. My girlfriends and I are making plans that if we need to be put into a “home” away from home we need adjoining rooms.
My stamp set is Art Impressions “Live Laugh Love”. It’s really great that AI gives you colored images on their packaging.
Thanks for stopping in for a peek and stay safe.

Such a fun card! Love those girlfriends.
What a fun card. Love the sentiment. Old girlfriends are just the best.
What a great card Gayle! I love your plans for the future, too.
I always enjoy the A.I. stamps as they are often amusing as well as being fun to colour. You did a wonderful job on this one and I understand the inky fingers part. How often do we end up smudging or accidentally adding ink where we don’t want it?
Such a fun image, love those ladies! Thanks for playing at AAA Cards, hope to see you join in with future challenges too. Stay safe and keep crafting!
