Water Color Wagon by Reneé Matarese

4959 – WC Dogs Set

4868 – WC Flower Set 2

4051 – WC Foliage Set 1

4867 – WC Foliage Set 2

Circle Water Color Card by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a water color card with you.

I used

4873 – WC Cats Set

4959 – WC Dogs Set

4868 – WC Flower Set 2

4051 – WC Foliage Set 1

4867 – WC Foliage Set 2

I've been stamping for about 12 years now and have loved Art Impressions since the beginning.  I am still very new to water color cards though.  I'm really trying to make more of them because I know I won't get any better if I don't practice. 

I still look at hundreds of other card makers and think theirs are SO much better but I'm not embarrassed to share mine anymore.  Baby steps...lol!

Watercolor Class Exclusive stamp set card by Jil Lebel

Hello Ai fans!

At the end of April I had the chance to attend the Scrapbook Expo in Orlando and take my second Art Impressions Watercolor class.  It was amazing!  I was also lucky enough to be able to work the make and take booth.  We did a different project each day.  I enjoyed every minute of it.  I had the chance to meet so many Ai fans.
The class is fun if you're a beginner or more advanced.  I feel you can learn something no matter what level stamper you are.  We took time to go over the basics and then we went through four different projects.  My favorite part is that you get an exclusive stamp set at the end of class.  Here is the class schedule.  Be sure to sign up for a class early!

I knew the basic layout I was going to follow after watching Bonnie's video showing how she used the stamps set. I just changed up a few things for my design. I added Sepia to the entire window/branch stamp. Then I came back to add Pine Green to the branch portions and African Violet to the window. I stamped the image onto the center of my watercolor paper.  I blended out areas of my window using very little water on my brush. I drew in curtains with the fine point tip of my African Violet marker and pulled the color out with my damp brush.  I added Pine green to the  vine from the WC Foliage set 2 and repeatedly stamped it onto the ends of the branches.  I added more ink to it after I stamped it three of four times and used my damp brush again to re-activate the color. I stamped the squirrel sitting in the window with Sepia with the help of the Stamp Positioner. I used the fine tip of my Sepia marker to draw in an acorn, After pulling the color gently from the lines with my damp brush, I scribbled some extra color onto my Watercolor Palette.  I used it to add some extra shadows to the squirrel and the acorn.  I also added some Butterscotch onto the Watercolor Palette and added it very lightly to the background. I used another stamp from WC Foliage set 2 with Pine Green to add a bit of foliage behind the squirrel on the ledge and added a few tiny flowers from WC Mini Flower Set with Violet.  I stamped one of the stamps from the WC Wall Texture Set on the left side with Brownish Gray using the Stamp Positioner. I pulled the color out of the lines and added some more color towards the bottom of the stones.  The last thing I did was stamp a branch with Sepia from the WC Branches Set in a few spots around the leafy areas. 

I did a second version of this card without the stones along the side.  I used the yellow background just like Bonnie did in the video.  

Thanks for stopping by and Have a Great Day!

NEW VIDEO - Glass Vase with Flowers Watercolor

Hello Ai Fans!

Welcome to a new Watercolor Wednesday! This week, Bonnie creates a translucent glass vase, showing the submerged stems of her beautiful bouquet of wildflowers. She starts by stamping part of the left side of the container in Brownish Gray, and then uses her Stamp Positioner to stamp part of the right side to create a smaller vase. Bonnie masks the top of the vase and stamps her flowers and some foliage, then switches her masking to add some stems on the inside. Next, she adds some blue to the glass and a wash of purple on the outer edges. For the final touch, Bonnie adds some white pen details to give the glass a sheen and a highlight on the flowers.

We hope you like this new project and how you can extend the use of your stamps with this cool technique! Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube challenge for the latest notifications of new uploads!

NEW VIDEO - Christmas Fir in Wagon Watercolor

Hi Ai Fans!

Welcome to another Winter Watercolor Wednesday! This week, Bonnie designed a Christmas Tree fresh from the forest being hauled away in a wagon! She starts by stamping our Garden Wagon in Prussian Blue and Sepia to give it a rustic, pale blue look. Next, Bonnie masks the wagon with a sticky note and adds the branched tree in African Violet and Pine Green. To give the tree its fullness, she adds the pine boughs and adds some hanging over the wagon. Bonnie brushes in some snowy shadows and sky. She then adds the holly on the sides with our branches, tiny leaves, and uses the fine tip of her Persimmon marker to add berries. To add the bird, she uses our Stamp Positioner to get him in the perfect place. For the final touches, Bonnie adds glitter to the snow with her Wink of Stella  brush marker and flecks of snow with her Signo Gel Pen. Always remember to sign and date!

We hope you enjoy this week's wintery video! Bonnie always appreciates any comments, thumbs up or subscribes over on our YouTube. We'll have one more scene next week and then take a holiday break until the New Year, but you can always watch our almost 100 Watercolor Wednesday videos on our playlist!

NEW VIDEO - Rustic Winter Scene Watercolor

Hello Ai Fans!

Welcome to a new Watercolor Wednesday, as we kick off our Winter and Holiday series! Bonnie wows us again with a beautiful woodland scene, covered in snow, and dressed up with fir boughs! Bonnie starts by stamping the stump from our WC Rustic Container Set in the center and adding branches on either side. Bonnie draws in snow mounds around the stump's base and piled on the top. She then uses her Stamp Positioner to place a tiny birdhouse and bird above the snow mound. For the snowflakes, Bonnie adds dots of her Molotow Masking pen and fully lets it dry. She then adds the fir sprigs from our WC Foliage Set 2 New and uses the fine tip of her Persimmon pen to add berries and her Pine Green to add a holly branch in the bird's beak. She finishes the image with a wash of African Violet over the Molotow, adds details to the snowy areas, and removes the masking. Don't forget to always sign your work!

We hope you enjoy this new creation and look forward to many more wintery scenes to come!

Happy Watercolor Wednesday!

You Brighten My Day! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai Fans!

Today I'm sharing a water color card.

I've used a combination of three different sets on my card.

4051 WC Foliage Set 1

4868 WC Foliage Set 2

4874 WC Bunnies Set

The wonderful thing about the watercolor sets from Art Impressions is that they all compliment each other.  Each one you add to your collection gives you more versatility with your sets you already own.

The verse is from 4903 – WC Sentiments Set
