Art Impressions Challenge 217 Flowers & Foliage

Well, it's been a while since I have posted, but I have been making cards like crazy and helping a few women with their card making skills. I have a darling set from Art Impressions called Howl-oween that I have been waiting to use. Since the Art Impressions challenge says flowers and foliage, I thought this would be a fun card to make. I just love this cute little guy. This is my first try at step cards and I just love them!

Thanks for stopping by my little blog.
Have a great day.

Art Impressions Hippo

I have a cute little card to share with you today from a Freebie stamp that I got from Art Impressions. I have really been into the Watercolor Series, but I thought, what if I just water colored this little Hippo image onto water color paper. I just bought a few of the Marvy marker, which I sincerely love, to use with this watercoloring technique. I thought that I would enter this into the Ai  29 Again Challenge. Happy 29th Birthday, Art Impressions.

Thanks for stopping by my little blog. Have a great day.

Clay pot Watercolor

I went to our local Rubber Stamp Convention over the weekend and found some great stamps and I couldn't wait to use them. I was so inspired by Bonnie Krebs from Art Impressions. Her technique for watercoloring is so much fun. So, I decided to enter the anything goes challenge at Art Impressions. For this card I used the Clay Pot mini series, Flower set and Foliage set. I also used a stamp from Our Daily Bread Scripture Series 3 set.

Thanks for stopping by my little blog.
Have a great day.

Day 5 of the 30 Day Color Challenge

Wow, I think I am finally all caught up with posting, with this being my Day 5 on Day 5. Whew.  I am trying to take lead from what Kathy at The Daily Marker has done for the day. This forces me to get out of my comfort zone and try new things, provided I have the similar kind of tools and images. So, today, Kathy did the most darling image.

I don't have anything that cute, so I went all out with my Art Impressions stamps today. Oh wow, I just realized how smooth water coloring is on watercolor paper. DUH.....

I used a combination of Faber Castell aquapencils and EF Mongol watercolor pencils. I also used a waterbrush. So, here are my fun projects for today...

Can't wait to put these on a card....

Thanks for stopping by...
