Watercolor Weekend November 4, 2017

Hello Watercolor friends,

I don't know about you but Christmas always sneaks up on me, so I like to start my cards early. I love the traditional red and green for my Christmas decorations. I made this card using the Art Impressions WC Series 4 Set 1 - 4097.  Art Impressions Creator/Owner Bonnie Krebs has a wonderful Watercolor Wednesday tutorial on YouTube using this stamp set that you should try. I used the new 4960 - WC Fir Trees Set to make the wreath.  I added the snow with my Signo uni-ball white gel pen and I added some glitter using a Sakura Gelly Roll pen that is easier to see in the close-up photo.  

I only used four Marvy LePlume II pens 

NO. 86 African violet

NO. 45 sepia

NO. 28 English red

NO. 72 pine green

4773 - Acrylic Blocks
#4 Paint Brush

I made this on Canson watercolor paper.

This was definitely one of my favorite Watercolor Wednesday tutorials from Bonnie Krebs - the Creator/Owner of Art Impressions Stamps!  If you don't follow her on YouTube, you are missing out.  This was just so much fun to make.  Go try it!

4807 - Old Barn Mini Set
4875 - Garden Wagon Mini Set

Watercolor Wednesday October 11, 2017

Hi Friends,

I loved Art Impression's owner/creator Bonnie Krebs' version of this wreath on yesterday's Watercolor Wednesday on YouTube, made with red, white, blue and green but I had to try it in fall colors.  Check out her video to see how to make it.  So fun and easy!

Watercolor Wednesday October 4, 2017

My favorite day of the week is Watercolor Wednesdays on YouTube by Art Impression's creator Bonnie Krebs.  This adorable cottage was this week's tutorial from Bonnie.  I was so glad I had the stamps and the fence die so I could make this one because it's so perfect framed for my cottage room.  You can always use whatever stamps you have to make something similar.  Give it a try!

Day 28 of the Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge

I watercolored this card for day 28 of #thedailymarker30day coloring challenge.  I used the new WC Fall Set - 4963 from Art Impressions.  The bird is from the new WC Bird Bath Set - 4966 which truly is one of my most favorites from the new ones.  It's a must have in my opinion.  You get six birds, a bird bath and two really cute little birdhouses.  I used a pot from the WC Ornate Container Set - 4870.  The stand is from inking only the bottom part of the stamp from the WC Series 5 Set 2 - 4059.

I can't believe the coloring challenge is almost over.  It's been so much fun!  I haven't been able to color every day like I usually do but I'm happy with the amount of coloring I did get done.  I've really enjoyed being one of the goodwill ambassadors for the fabulous Kathy Racoosin who is the host of the coloring challenges.  I hope everyone found some time to color!
