Bird Watercolour

I am posting on the Art Impressions blog today.

I am on a mission in 2017 to stretch myself with the Ai Watercolor stamps!  With such a great new selection of sets to use... I want to step outside the box a little.  As soon as I saw the new WC Birds Set (Sku #4872) I had this card in my mind:

This was a combination of several stamp sets!  I started with the long twig stamp from Clay Pot (Sku #4701), stamped twice to create the branch.  Then I used the large and small leafy stamps from WC Foliage Set 2 New (Sku #4867) to create the leaves.  I added the nest & bird from the WC Birds Set.  I scribbled my blue Marvy marker onto my palette, and used it to watercolour in the suggestion of the sky.  The sentiment is an oft-used one by me - it is from the Garden TF Set (Sku #4203).

Happy painting!

Garden Try-fold

 I am sharing a spring Try-fold card on the Art Impressions blog today using Garden TF (Sku #4203)

 This is such a gorgeous stamp set - and so versatile!  This would make a great birthday card, Mother's Day card or even an Easter card wtih that sweet little bunny on the front image - and I really love the sentiment.

 All the instructions to create a Try-fold card are included with the stamp set.  After stamping and colouring with Copic markers, I lined the back sides of the flaps with some polka dot paper, and mounted my card on it as well.  You can find all of the Ai Try-fold stamp sets here.

 Copics used: Blues - B01, B00, B000, B000

Greens - YG05, YG03, YG01, YG00, YG95, YG93, YG91

Greys - W5, W3, W1, W00

Browns - E55, E53, E51

Reds - R35, R32, R30
