Ai WW August 6, 2021

 Hello,

I saw something similar to this on Pinterest so I used my Ai stamps to recreate it. I LOVE owls and pumpkins so I'm pretty happy with it. If you would like to try this, stamp the pumpkin in the center from the 5426 Veggies set inked in Tombow 969 then make a mask and cover it. Next stamp the other pumpkin from that same stamp set on one side, and the pumpkin from the 5059 Harvest Set on the other side. Before removing the mask, using a stamp positioner stamp the barrel from the same set above the middle pumpkin inked in both 565 and 969. Stamp the owl from the 5425 Peeking Animals Set using 969 and a stamp positioner. Use a circle mask to cover where the moon is, then use a brush and a brown ink, fill in the background. I used a little N45 for the moon's shadows. Drip some water on the background, dry it with a paper towel and it will look like a few stars are out. Pull the color out of the lines and then watercolor the owl with N45, 969 and then color the eyes and beak with 026 - the coolest yellow ever! Definitely my favorite. When you add water to it - it's amazing! I used that same yellow on the grass from the 5059 Harvest set. I used that same yellow and the 969 for the flowers from the 4963 Fall Set and the branch is inked in 969 from the 4964 Branches set. I used the Tombow Twin Tone in brown on the stems of the pumpkins and the pumpkins were colored with 946 and 947. I used 969 and N45 on the barrel. I also used the N45 for the shadows under the pumpkins.  The little boo brad I had but I've no idea where I got it. I used the 5063 and 5065 Dies to cut out my papers. I always hope you try it and tag me. I love inspiring others as so many have inspired me.

New Release at Art impressions July 28, 2021

 

Hello,

This is the last of the new Watercolor Releases from Art Impressions for the summer. I made a fall card using the brand new 5416 Vintage Car Set. To make it, use the Tombow 979 and 565 to ink the car, stamp it off first then stamp it on your watercolor paper and pull the color out of the lines. I colored the tires in N35, the windows in 565 and the body of the car in 947. The tree is from the 5373 Lg Tree Set and I inked it in 969 but forgot to stamp it off. I wish I would have since it's a little dark for yellow and orange leaves 025, 933. I used 158 for the green foliage from the 4875 Garden Wagon Set and 4867 Foliage Set but you can use whatever foliage and flowers you have for pretty much any scene. I used 837 for the red flowers from the 4052 Flower Set. The tall leave stems are from the 5126 Foliage Set 4 inked in 947. The yellow grass is inked in 025 and 933 from the 5196 Desert Set. The sky is 565. I used the 5065 Oval Double Stitched Dies and the 5063 Double Stitched Rectangle Dies. Hope you give it a try!

Happy Birthday Scotty, July 21, 2021

 Hello,

I made this card after watching Art Impression's Watercolor Throwback by Kendra. I didn't have the stamp she used but I did have this lighthouse stamp from the Ai Bible Journaling line - it's 5069 My Fortress. The ferns are from a brand new stamp set - it's 5418 Bible Foliage Set 2. As you can see, you can use the Bible Journaling for your cards, not just for bible journaling. I made this one for my eldest son, Scott, for his birthday. He recently went on a month long camping trip with his family and they saw a lighthouse on that trip so I thought he would like it.

Ai Watercolor Weekend July 16, 2021

Hello,

Have you seen the newest release from Art Impressions? I used the largest rocks from the brand new 5415 Rocks Set for this card and I used the brand new 5413 Weathered Stumps for my card. The animal is from the 5425 Peaking Animals Set. The scene is from the 5378 Stone Creek Scene. The cabin is from the 4962 Rustic Cabins Set. The trees and tiny grasses in the back are from the 5372 Mini Foliage and fence is from the 5371 Barn Set. The grass in front is from the 4051 Foliage Set 1. The flowers in back are from the 5009 Mini Flowers Set and the flowers in front are from the 5258 Flowers Set 4. I used the 5063 Rectangle Double Stitched Dies. I watched Art Impression's Kendras' Back to Basics video on shading houses and really built up the color. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out on Facebook or YouTube. Happy crafting!

Hello,

I made this "Heal Fast" card for my friend who just had her knee replaced. She loves blue and purple and used to have a pet bunny so when I saw Michelle Hoskin's card on Facebook, I knew I had to make Gaylynn this card. Here's Michelle's card:

New Foundation Stamps from Ai July 8, 2021

 

Hi,

I loved Art Impression's Owner/Creator Bonnie's tutorial on Facebook and YouTube yesterday. So fun to decorate the chairs and add flowers and animals to these.  So easy to do. I did forget to stamp off the foundation stamp first.
