NEW VIDEO - Three Snowy Trees Watercolor Wednesday

Hello Ai Fans!

We are back after a Thanksgiving break and it is time for another Watercolor Wednesday! This week, Bonnie created an easy scene using only ONE stamp and TWO markers! If you've ever wanted to try our watercolor stamps, this is a great project to dip your brush into (Get it? Ha!). Check out this new video using the Jumbo Snowy Tree from our WC Series 4 Set 2. Using only the top portion of the stamp and sticky notes, she is able to create a tree trio with Molotow snow softly falling in the background. For the final touches, she uses a Signo White Pen to add smaller snow dots and a couple gold gems for ornaments.

We hope you enjoy this week's video! Make sure to subscribe to be the first to hear of new uploads and a 'thumbs up' over on YouTube is always appreciated!

Happy Watercolor Wednesday!

Happy Snowmen by Kerry

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!
Winter is sure here in New England.  Well, it's time to welcome our adorable snowmen from the Holly Jolly set.  They are so cute and ready to celebrate!


I was totally inspired by Bonnie's stunning watercoloring videos from Watercoloring Wednesdays.  
So, I decided to color the adorable snowmen using watercolor marker in African Violet.

Merry Christmas

Hello all!
Today would be my usual day to post for Art Impressions but the Design Team is on a break for the American Thanksgiving. Since us Canadians have already celebrated our Thanksgiving I thought I would still share a card!
This stamp and sentiment is from the "Merriest Christmas" set. Snowmen are one of my favourite winter images and this couple doesn't disappoint! I made 2 different versions using the same image and paper collection.
The paper is from the My Minds Eye Sugarplum 6x6 collection. I absolutely love the pretty pastel colours in this collection! I cut the image out with my Silhouette machine and added the Art Impression Snowflake dies as embellishments. A bit of lace and some Crystal Stickles finish everything off.
The sentiment on the inside is also from the Merriest Christmas set. I added some more snowflakes and some of the designer paper to finish off the inside.
Copics Used:
Snowmen: C1, YR04, YR09
Pink outfit: R20, R21, R24
Blue green outfit: BG72, BG75, BG78
Lamp & post: C1, C3, C5, R22, R24, R27, YR15, Y000
Broom : E43, E44, E47, Y21, Y26, Y28

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American Friends!
