Water Coloring the Art Impressions Way


Hello AI Fans!!!
 
Happy Saturday!! It's almost March and the weather here in Reno has really been beautiful. It sure has turned my thoughts to spring! For todays card, I used WC EZ Project A (#4271)  along with the WC Flower Set (#4052) and WC Foliage Set (#4051). 



I must say, I don't distress my cards very often, but when I do, I REALLY like to distress them. :)  I like to really tear into the paper. And I do that very easily using the Distrezz-It-All. 

 
colors used:
#40 Brownish Grey, #45 Sepia, #15 Olive Green, #57 Rose Pink, #65 Cherry
 
 
 


Don't forget to join the Shake Rattle and Roll Challenge going on now! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and hope you have some time to get crafty!

Art Impressions Challenge #178 Shake, Rattle, & Roll Week Two!!

Hello AI Fans!!
 
Today is the start of week two of the Shake, Rattle, and Roll!! Challenge at Art Impressions! Last week the very talented Karen Day treated us with how she made her gorgeous creation, and this week the rest of the design team is showing you the projects they made using three brand new stamp sets! I am featuring the Hoppy Easter Set (sku# 4754). This is the cutest Easter stamp set!!! I absolutely loved playing with it!!  I made a card and treat box set.




The treat box is a Silhouette file then I used some Nitwit Collections digital paper to cover it. The same papers were used to make a clean and simple card. Added some Doodlebug twine and a button to finish it off.

Some sage advice from Art Impressions!

Hello AI Fans!!
 
Happy Saturday! Every single image of Art Impressions that I color, becomes yet another favorite of mine.  That was the result with this image as well! I colored up the fun stamp Shoppers # T1922.  Then I paired it with Lie About Your Age #G3575.   Gotta LOVE the humor of Art Impressions stamps!!
 

I cut out the word bubble with the Silhouette and then simply added some twine, a button from my stash, and a few Viva Décor Pearls in Salmon. 

 
 
Copics used:
E11, E00, E000, R20, Y21, Y23, W2, W4, T2, R12, E41, E33, E37, B21, B23, B41, R22, R24, G40, G43, G94

Here's to Love with Art Impressions!


Hello AI Fans!
 
Oh my gosh, I can't believe it's already Valentine's Day! I hope you get your fill of chocolate this weekend!  :)  Today I'm featuring another one of Art Impressions Valentine's Day Stamp Sets called 
Love and Chocolate Set (sku 4367).  She does look like she's having lots of fun, doesn't she!!!


 
To create the image panel like this, I used Spellbinder Ovals and Spellbinder scalloped ovals, and put the lower left corner of the paper through the opening of the die so it wouldn't cut it. I thought it turned out kind of fun. What do you think? 



Copics used:
E11, E00, E000, R20, E21, E23, E47, E71, E70, C2, C3, C5, Y32, Y35, E33, E35, R81, R83, R85, R22, R24, R27

Get your Party on for Valentine's Day with Art Impressions!

Hello AI Fans!!
 
Happy Weekend!! We're getting really close to Valentine's Day, so today I'm showing you a fun card using Art Impressions Show The Love Set (sku# 4230).  I adore this image!! And she is definitely getting her party on, don't you think? LOL!!!  I paired her with the Party On (sku# F4138) sentiment. 
 
 

The card base and layering panels were all cut out using the Silhouette. Then I just fussy cut her out and popped her up from the panel behind her. I couldn't get the picture of the paper to take in Inlinkz, so I'll just let you know that it's Authentique Everlasting 6" paper pad.
