Never To Old To Party Card

The new Art Impressions challenge is a fun one called "Cutting Edge."  I recently bought the new Art Impressions stamp set called Never Too Old.  

I LOVE this set stamp set with its funny sentiments and woman image.  I can see making lots of humorous cards with it.

I used  Sizzix Card Basic Step-Ups die to create my card.  I cut the card from a bright green cardstock.  The patterned paper is by Die Cuts With A View from a stack in my stash.

I stamped four sentiments with black ink on white cardstock.  I stamped the image on white cardstock with black ink and colored it with alcohol markers (Copic and Spectrum Noir).  I fussy cut out the image and then adhered all to the card as shown.  A twine bow and a few sequins were all it needed for the finishing touches.

I had this card sitting on our kitchen island when my husband came home.  He had lots of compliments for it.  He thought I had designed the card with its cuts and folds.  I didn't have the heart to tell him I'm not that talented plus I was enjoying the praise.  ;)  I'll tell him "later."  (Big wink.)

I went a head and stamped an envelope for it too.  One of my friends has a birthday coming up in April and I think it will be perfect for her.  We like sending funny cards to each other.  :)    This partying lady is joining these challenges:
