Ai LOVES Tombow! 4 NEW Shape Die Sets! PLUS Challenge 248 Lots of Hearts Week 2!

Ai Loves Tombow_

We have a special announcement! Art Impressions and Tombow are teaming up! Our Watercolor line will now exclusively use Tombow Dual Brush Markers! Our favorite colors are now available in our shop. Tombow Dual Brush Markers are water-based ink markers in beautiful colors that work well with our Watercolor technique.

We encourage you to use the water-based markers in your collection for watercolor projects. To aid in this transition, we have developed a color conversion chart comparing our favorite 26 Tombow and Marvy colors. Moving forward, Bonnie will be using Tombow pens in her weekly Watercolor Wednesday videos. We still have a selection of Marvy Le Plume II Markers in stock, so you can order those while supplies last.

Double the fun! Our four NEW stitched die sets are now available! We are adding to our shape die line with double stitched HexagonBanner, and Flag sets, as well as a versatile Tag set featuring various tag shapes, reinforcer hole, and bonus accessories! These sets were designed with your watercolor projects in mind, and work great for creating layers for images, sentiments, and more!
