I just love this 5350 - Animal Nativity stamp set from Art Impressions that comes with the dies and some great sentiments. I watercolored this card using Tombow markers. Each image was stamped using Memento Desert Sand ink for the no-line coloring look onto Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper. I darkened the faces using the fine tip of a Twin Tone brown pen from Tombow. Hope you try it!

Hello,
I made this card for my nephew and his family. They have a little boy and little blonde girl. You have to love the entire Art Impression's watercolor stamps line. I sure do! This was made using only one stamp set, 5197 - WC Winter Kids Set which I have used over and over again. It's definitely one of my most favorite sets.

Hello,
I made this barn scene card for the Art Impressions Watercolor Weekend. It's a pretty fast, easy one to do but the hard part for me was turning it into a shaker card. If you want to try this one, ink up the barn from the 4807 - Old Barn Set first in the brown Tombow 969 then in the Blue 565. Stamp it off, then stamp it on your watercolor paper or Bristol Smooth paper, as I used. Pull the color out of the lines then color the windows in with 933 on the bottom and 055 on the top. Use the fine tip of the green 177 pen to draw in your Christmas tree and wreath. Dab at them with a wet brush to smooth the lines. Use the fine tip of the red 856 pen to add dots and a bow. Use a ruler to add lines on the barn with the fine tip of the N95 pen. Use Molotow to draw in some snow where the tree is going to be and when it's dry, use the fir stamps from the 4960 - Fir Tree Set and the 177 pen to add branches. Dab at them with a wet brush. Stamp the little old couple inked in 565 from the 5380 Silhouettes Set on the scene. Dab at them with a wet brush and add a little shadow under them using 565. Add shadows under the barn and tree. Erase the Molotow and then use a little 565 to add shadows under the snow piles. Use 565 to add the sky. When it's dry, use the Signo Uni-ball white pigment ink pen to add snow drops everywhere.

I made this card with the brand new 5375 Grape Border stamp set. It's so fun to color the grapes. I used my Misti and inked up the leaves first with the Tombow 177. After cleaning the stamp set, I inked up just the grapes and then re-stamped it a couple of times to get a good amount of the 909 on the grapes. I pulled the color out of the lines then added the 177 on the palette and added more green to the leaves. I used 055 on the palette to add that yellow to the edges of the leaves. I touched the creases of the grapes with the tip of the 909 pen to darken the grapes but I left some white on the grapes, also. I then used the Misti to stamp the gate from the 5067 after inking it in 565 then 969 and stamping it off on scratch paper. I pulled the color out of the lines then added the "grape vines" from the 4867 Foliage Set 2 inked in 177. I pulled the color out and then stamped the dots (grapes) from the 5074 Bible Flower set inked in the 909. I dabbed at them with a wet brush tip. I painted in the gate leaving some white areas with the N45. I added some of it around the stones on the path, as well. I stamped the grass from the 4051 Foliage Set 1 inked in 177 and then pulled the color up and out. I added the little flowers also from the 5074 Bible Flower set inked in 055. The sky is 526. Lastly, I stamped the banner from the 5202 Scroll Set inked in 969 then pulled the color out of the lines. I added some of the 526 in areas and some 565 where the paper rolls under. I stamped the sentiment from that same scroll set inked in Archival black ink. I thought this would make a great Thanksgiving card. Hope you give it a try.
