Art Impressions Fall Wreath

I have wanted to get back and use my Art Impression Watercolor Stamps and making a Fall wreath seemed like a perfect opportunity.  Between the pumpkins and fall colors this makes a perfect wreath for the autumn season.

I used the following for the card:

• Art Impressions Watercolor stamp sets - Foliage (#4051), WC Series 3 (#4056), Foliage #3 (#5007), Flowers (#4052), Branches (#4964)
• Gina K - Master Layouts 3
• Marvey Markers - Sepia (#45), Brilliant Yellow (#43)
• Tombow Markers - Dark Jade (#177), Scarlet (#926), Avocado (#098)
• Gina K - Dark Sage
• Sentiment - from an unknown set.

To make the card, I traced a circle on a piece of watercolor paper.  I then stamped the images going around the circle, and added water for that water color look.  The image and associated mat were then cut with the Master Layouts 3 dies.  The sentiment was stamped with Dark Sage ink,  The image was attached to the mat and the entire piece added to a card base to complete the card.  

An Art Impressions Valentine

I made this card for my husband for Valentines day.  I got the idea from @triciadollkennedy on Instagram. 

I used the following for the card:
Art Impressions Stamps - WC Birds, Flower Set, EZ Project C
Marvy Le Plume II - Sepia, Steel Blue, Olive Green, Persimmon

To  make the card, with a pencil I lightly traced a heart die on a piece of water color paper.  I then colored the stamps, and stamped them around the heart, leaving room for the birds.  Between the flowers, the leaf stamps were colored and stamped between the flowers.  Water was then added to the stamped images for that wonderful water color look.  The birds were then added in a similar manner.  The sentiment (from an unknown manufacturer) was stamped.  The panel was added to a red mat, and then added to the card base to complete the card.

Fathers Day with Art Impression Stamps

Here is a stamp I made with Art Impressions Water Color Stamps.

To make this card, I used the following:

• Marvy LePlume II markers
• Art Impressions Foliage Set 4051, WC Tree Set 4269, WC Series 2 Set 4053, Flower Set 4052, EZ Project B
• Close to My Heart Framed Stamp of the Month

To make the card, I colored the stamps with the markers, and stamped them.  Water was then added, pulling the color out of the lines of the images.  Additional color was added as needed.  The image was trimmed down, and added to the card base.   The sentiment was added to complete the card.
