Watercolor Weekend Roundup 7-3-2021 New Bible Journaling Release!

Hello Ai fans!

It's the first Saturday of the month and that means it's time for a Watercolor Weekend Roundup!

Did you see earlier this week that there was a new release at Art Impressions?

This past Wednesday Ai released 4 new Bible Journaling stamp sets and Bonnie did several projects to help you see how you can use them.

Maybe you don't Bible Journal?

You don't have to.  These stamps can also be used to create cards and other projects.

Our Watercolor Design Team shared some sneak previews with you yesterday and now you get to see even more

inspiration from them.

Hi Watercolor Fans! We are celebrating another fabulous new release. I chose to use all of the new Bible Journaling stamps to create this adorable Framed Sparrow project. Here is how I did it. The Painting I inked the wood frame from the Frameworks Set 1 with 969, stamped it off and stamped it into the middle of my watercolor paper. I inked the sparrow from the Bible Icons Set 1 with 969, stamped it off and then stamped it in the middle of the frame. I pulled the color out of the frame and bird. I mixed some 969 and 569 on my palette and added it to the head and wings making sure to avoid the eye. I added some 947 and 993 to my palette and added it to the bottom of the bird and some 969 to his feet and the branch. I also added some 565 from my palette to the sky. I used my black twin tone marker to darken the eye and beak. Next, I inked up the foliage from the Bible Foliage set 2 and added it along the frame and the branch with 177 and 249. I used one of the foliage leaves inked in 636 and added it along the frame as well. I added water to everything. I signed and dated my work. The Card I cut the entire card out with my rectangle stitched die and put it into my MISTI to stamp the sentiment from the Frameworks Sentiments Set with Gina K Amalgam ink. I added this to a mat cut from Gina K Plum Punch cardstock and attached it to a white note card with Connect glue. These stamps make it so easy to create simply beautiful cards. 

 We can’t wait to see what you make. Tag us on Instagram and use the #AIWatercolor. Hope to see you next time! SUPPLIES:

 Hello,

Have you seen the new Ai Bible Journaling stamps? There are some wonderful new ones! I made this card by first cutting a slimline card out of Canson Watercolor Paper. I used the new 5417 Frameworks Sentiments Set and picked out four of the 13 sentiments then stamped them in Green ink. I framed them with the brand new 5420 Frameworks Set 1 inked in red ink. I then inked up the four images in the new 5419 Bible Icons Set 1 with the Tombow N45 pen. I went back to the frames and used some foliage from the 4867 Foliage Set 2 inked in 158. I used the little berry branch from the 4963 Fall Set inked in 158 and 565. I used the foliage from the 5126 Foliage Set 4 inked in 025 but you could use any foliage or flowers you have for the frames. I then watercolored each of the images starting with the bible which I left white and I used 565 to add the shadows. I colored the bookmark in 856 and the pages, cross and flame in the 025. The candle holder is 969. Next the bird is colored in with 025 for his belly, beak and feet and N45 for his head and feathers. Don't forget to darken his eye with a Tombow TwinTone fine point pen, I used both the brown then the blue. The foliage is the same as the frames but the flowers are 856. The branch is 969. The fruit bowl was the funnest to color and I see myself using that alot in the future! The banana is 025 and some 969. The pear is 158 and 025. The apple and cherries are 856 leaving a white spot on the cherries. The other highlights are done with a Signo White Gel pen. The grapes are 565. The leaves are 158. I painted a line under it with the 969 but then I used the 565 for the lines on the bowl and to deepen the shadows. The light is painted in 025 and 969.

Hello Ai Watercolor fans!

I made a trio of cards today using the 5417 - Frameworks Sentiments Set, 5419 - Bible Icons Set 1 and 5420 - Frameworks Set 1.  They started out as bookmarks, but I decided they would each look great on a card:

I started by cutting out my tags from Bristol Smooth Cardstock - the lantern card is using the Ai 5223 - Bookmark Die, the others are from my stash.  I stamped the icons first, using a no-line watercolor method for the fruit, and typical Ai style for the other two.  These are small images, so after stamping, I used my #1 paintbrush to carefully paint in all of the colours, adding layers and shades.  I masked each of the images, then stamped the frames using Tombows for the twig wreath, die ink for the rectangle, and Versamark for the oval - which I then embossed with gold powder.  I used Distress inks and blending brushes to add some soft background colour to each tag (my favourite is the rainbow!).  Usine my Misti to help with positioning, I stamped each sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.  I cut out a second tag of each style to put behind each one - allowing them to pop a bit more, added some Baker's Twine and mounted them to the cards with 3D foam adhesive.

Here's a closeup to see the embossed gold frame:

 

I'm sure we're all in agreement here. This Design Team is AMAZING!!

Have a great holiday weekend and Happy Stamping!
