I have two post for you today….this first one with some fun news – Art Impressions has a few stamp sets at Michaels! They’re exclusive designs made just for Michaels (licensed through Hampton Art) and they’re clear. They’re doing a little hop today to get the word out…so here I am!
The stamp set I received has these fun folks out enjoying their retirement years – pretty hilarious! On the first card I made a full scene out of it, airbrushing a whole background for them to sit outside in and enjoy their lemonade!
For the people, I had stamped them onto the scene first, but then decided I didn’t feel like doing so much fancy masking. So I colored them separately and fussycut them to add to the card.
And I think I used an overabundance of colors….lol:
I wanted to try something highlighting the camper too – way fun to make it patriotic! I created a little airbrush scene for the camper, since we can’t very well leave it out if the couple got their own setting, can we!
Much more reasonable number of markers on this card:

Sandy, as always your coloring is fabulous. I love the scene you created for this couple, especially the purple! And how can anyone who makes cards for OWH not love the patriotic colors of the getting hitched card!?! Love them both.
Love your cards. Reminds me of my parent sitting outside the camper. When I went to Michael’s online they didn’t have the stamps. OH NO!!! What’s a girl to do?
Great colors on both cards!
I loved the colors you used!!!
Holy Crap, your coloring is fabulous, love!
Oh my gosh, your card looks just like a photo! Impressive! I love it! Love the little camper too. 🙂
Love Love Love
Fabulous!
Especially like the “hitched” card
Does OWH have a need for ‘mature’ people cards? I always think of those deployed as being young and so would send younger cards home
Sally, they are totally FAB!!!
Great cards. Your background & coloring is fantastic. Love them both.
wow! beautiful coloring.
