Water color Barn

Water Color Barn

It was learning how to water color using Art Impression stamps that took my card making to a new level.  I discovered that I could use these stamps to create not just cards but small pieces that looked like art….and so easily. I love using the individual stamps to create multiple scenes.  We all need value for our purchases.

If you have not tried this technique I encourage you to do so.  The stamps are now available in sets and Bonnie has produced a DVD that works with each of the 3 sets allowing you to create so many different scenes….and that is just the beginning. If you have watched her water color on Utube you know how easy she makes it to follow step by step.  

Whether you purchase the DVD or not I would advise you to buy the water color pamphlets that are available.  There you will find easy step by step instruction giving you everything you need to know to make your own scenes.  

So what are you waiting for….…
I appreciate any comments or questions. Happy Stamping!
Mary

Mary, I love your watercolor barn. You did a great job. I love the AI watercolor technique, and it is fun making the scenes.

Great card! I love working with the watercoloring stamps. I spent yesterday afternoon playing with them. So many different scenes can be created with just a handful of stamps.

The water color stamps are truly a fave of mine...They can make great scenes and art work a snap! Gtreat job on your card, Mary!
Love it!

I love it! Looks great! I really need to practice with mine. I can watercolor pretty decent (i.e. filling in the color) but I'm not so good at building the scene.

Really like how you have created the scene. Your coloring is beautiful.

Renee Matarese said...

You've created such a beautiful scene here. Great job with the WCing. I'm terrified to try these. Especially after seeing what I'm up against. You color like a pro!

Mary said...

Thank you all so much for your kinds words but I must give credit where credit is due. Bonnie created the scene not me...and I did the water coloring by following her steps in the Art Impressions pamphlet. Renee, don't be afraid to try it. Watch Bonnie's Utube video's or by the DVD. I learned primarily from going thru each pamphlet step by step and repeating the project until I thought it compared to Bonnie's. Keep trying and as they say, practice practice practice.
