Hello Watercolor Friends,

I used two of the little girls from Art Impression's brand new 5053 - WC Little Girls Set to make my card for the bi-monthly Art Impressions Watercolor Weekend Roundup. This scene is reminiscent of my own granddaughters in their yard. I put one of the girls inside the 4703 - Flower Cart. She would be pink loving Brinley, the youngest, and the older one in the hat, would be Aubrey, my awesome softball player. Their blue house on the hill is from the 4961 - WC Mini Cottages Set. The flowers in the cart are from the 5008 - WC Flower Set 3 and the "lavender" on the ground is from the 4875 - Garden Wagon Mini Set. The grass is from the 4051 - WC Foliage Set 1. Ai has just come out with the greatest steel dies in all the usual shapes and sizes perfect for card making! I used the 5062 - Rounded Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies to make my card.

For today’s Watercolor Weekend project, “A Boy and His Dog”, I used the NEW Little Boys Set along with the Dogs Set, watercolored the Art Impressions way and cut it out using the NEW Oval Double Stitched Dies. The boy could easily be swapped out with a girl in the Little Girls Set.

I love the new Art Impressions stamps. I used the new WC Boat Set and the 5007 – WC Foliage Set 3 to create this clean and simple card. I stamped the boat using 45 Sepia. I pulled the color out of the lines and added some 17 Steel Blue from my Watercolor Palette. I masked it off and also masked off an oval on the card. I used the Watercolor Palette to lay down 36 Manganese Blue and 86 African Violet to create the water and Tombow Dual Brush Pens 947-Burnt Sienna and 873–Coral to create the sand.

I used my 4774 – Stamp Positioner to stamp the small boat in 86 African Violet. I added some 28 English Red to create the lines on the sail. I used the grasses from the 5007 – WC Foliage Set 3 inked in 15 Olive Green stamped above and below the boat. I used some 36 Manganese Blue to create the clouds. To finish off, I used my Wink of Stella Glitter Clear Brush Pen – Clear to create a little shimmer. I cut it down and added it to a mat of Gina K Designs Heavyweight Cardstock- Fresh Asparagus.
