Simple Stories Watercolour Cards

There is something about these Simple Stories papers from Jen Hadfield that really appeals to me!  The colours are a gorgeous mix of blues/pinks/smokey plum... and the photos were very hard to edit - I wasn't able to capture quite how gorgeous they are in person.  These are some of the sample cards that I made up for my card classes this week at The Workshop:

 All of the stamps are from Art Impressions - stamp sets used are: Watering Can; Garden Wagon Mini Set; Flower Set 2new.  Marvy & Tombow markers.  Sentiment stamp is CTMH.

Puppy Watercolour card

Here is the final card that we'll be painting at my Ai Watercolour class at The Workshop in April (details here!)  The puppy set is one of my favourites, so I had to include one in the class!  The nice thing is that by switching up the colours, you can easily make him resemble your favourite canine.

Art Impressions stamp sets used are: WC Dogs set, WC Bench set, Foliage set and Flower set.  Marvy markers.  Contact Sheri at The Workshop to book your spot, there are two different days - I'd love to have you join us!  Here is a photo of all four of the cards we'll be painting at the class:

Bunny Watercolour

Here is card #3 that will be made at my April watercolour class for The Workshop (details here!).  This is also a similar card to one that I made last spring.  Perfect for an Easter card, spring birthday or just a hello.

Art Impressions Watercolour sets used are: WC Bunnies Set, WC Rustic Container Set, Foliage Set & Flower Set.  Marvy Markers.

Another Ai Watercolour

Here is the second card that I will be teaching at The Workshop in April (details here!).  This is a variation of a card that I made last summer.  The watercolour stamps are typically used for containers of flowers, or cottage type scenes, and I wanted to use the branches to just show a birdhouse and a bird - perfect for a birthday, thank you or thinking of you card:

Stamp sets used are Art Impressions: WC Branches Set, WC Birds Set, WC Foliage Set 2, WC Sentiments & half of the birdhouse from WC Series 7 Set 2.  Inks are Marvy & Tombow markers.

Watercolour Class

Hello!  I am excited to share the first of four cards that I will be teaching in a class at The Workshop in Stouffville, Ontario.  The class will be featuring the Art Impressions watercolour stamps that Sheri carries at the store.  I've been using them for years, and they're a fun way to quickly put an amazing looking watercolour scene together to use on a card.  There are two classes, Tuesday, April 17th 7-10pm, or if you prefer: Friday, April 20th 1-4pm.  All the details are here.  Here is the first card using Garden Wagon Mini Set, and the Flower & Foliage sets:

Sign-ups for the classes are open now!  Contact Sheri at the Workshop to reserve your spot.
