 Hello Ai fans!

It's Tuesday #2 for our Fan Group Features!

These fabulous artists are fans of Art Impressions
and let me tell you...WE'RE fans of them!

These fabulous ladies have agreed to step in and share their
artwork each Tuesday in September to fill in while our DT
member Jil is away.

Toni Woods is a friend of Ruthan Plant and they have been into circles lately.
She created a beautiful farm scene (love those flowers!) using: 4962 Rustic Cabins, 4964 Branch Set, 5059 Harvest Set, 5371 Barn Set, 5416 Vintage Car Set, 5372 Mini Foliage, 5009 Mini Flower Set, 5120 Palm Tree Set

Sharon Caudle is a former Design Team member and we miss her terribly!
She was famous for her bright colors and bows.  Sharon used 4383 Wine Tasters Set.

Ruthan loves to create elaborate nature scenes.  Her gorgeous pond scene is so sweet!  She used #5418 Bible Foliage Set 2, #5424 WC Pond Set, #5054 WC Little Boys Set, #4964 WC Branches Set, #5372 WC Mini Foliage Set,  Her pier and fishing pole are hand drawn and she changed the little boys arms to hold fishing pole.  (that's another talent she has...altering stamps to fit her needs)




We're all about the fall scenes right now and Roberta Bostrom created an amazingly sweet scene using 5426 – WC Veggies, 4703 – Flower Cart, 4867 – WC Foliage Set 2 and the retired Furries.  Are you in the mood to visit a pumpkin farm now too?

Michelle Hoskins is known for her hand-drawn scenes mixed with Art Impressions stamps.  Her card is perfect for the current Shaken, Not Stirred (cards with drinks challenge)  Her marshmallow mug couldn't be more perfect.  She used 

4961 WC Mini cottages,  front of Gingerbread house

4867 WC Foliage set 2, pine branch for garland

Jane Haurunen created the sweetest fall scene using 5191 – Feast Mode Set.  She cut the leaf off from the fox stamp so it could easily be used on it's own.  Her background was created using archival Goldenrod and Sunflower ink.

Former Design Team member Diane Zechman couldn't resist the recent 34th Anniversary sale and stocked up on new Matchbook sets.  She created the cutest little scene for some lucky persons birthday!  Her card was created using Matchbook Template, Envelope, Birthday Set, and Wall Accessories.  Thank you Diane!  We miss you!

Thank you so much ladies!  If you'd like to see even more inspiration for these and other fantastic artists then join one of the fan groups!  They aren't affiliated with Art Impressions but are a great source for card ideas and a great place to ask or answer questions and make new friends!
