Hello Watercolor Friends,

I made this card for the Art Impressions Watercolor Weekend roundup. I stamped the window from the brand new 5014 - WC Window Set. That adorable fox is from the brand new 5016 - WC Mini Critter Set. The bricks on the walls are from the new 5019 - WC Wall Texture Set. My foliage and flowers are from 5007 - WC Foliage Set 3 and 4868 - WC Flower Set 2.

Welcome to another Watercolor Weekend. My framed project, “Easter Bunnies”, is a perfect accent for your spring decor. 

Start off by stamping the sitting bunny from the Bunnies Set in a combination of African Violet and Sepia to create a steel grey, mask, stamp the half barrel from the containers set in Sepia, mask and finally stamp the peeking bunny in African Violet and Sepia. Remove the masks and pull the color from the lines of the bunnies using your brush and water outward and away. This will give the appearance of predominately white bunnies, but also pull a little grey in for their shadows. Pull the color on the barrel and scribble a little Sepia on your palette to brush onto the barrel and darken up the shadows. Take the fine tip of Sepia to darken the horizontal lines. Mask the bunnies and barrel and stamp in the foliage from Foliage Set 3 in Olive Green. Stamp in the filler flower from Flower Set 1 in Rose Pink and the tall flowers from Flower Set 3in Wisteria, Violet and Olive Green. Using the grasses from Foliage Set 1 and Foliage Set 3 to stamp around the sitting bunny and barrel and pull the color. Remove the masks and add a little Rose Pink onto your palette and brush onto the cheeks and ears of the bunnies. Scribble some Salvia Blue onto your palette and brush in for the sky. Add dot detail around the tall flowers in Violet and around the filler flowers in Rose Pink.

HAPPY EASTER!

Hello Watercolor Friends,

I made this card for the Art Impressions Watercolor Weekend roundup. I used the bench from the - WC Bench Set and the stamp positioner to make this potting bench. I used three of the containers from the 4869 - WC Small Container set. I used the smaller watering can from the brand new 5012 - WC Wishing Well Set. My foliage and flowers are from the brand new sets 5007 - WC Foliage Set 3 and 5008 - WC Flower Set 3.

Other Supplies: Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Cardstock

For today’s Watercolor Weekend project, “Filled with Flowers”, I used three of the newly released watercolor sets. I simply LOVE all the new sets! 

Start off by inking up the watering can from the Wishing Well Mini Set first in Sepia followed immediately in African Violet. This makes a great steel grey color. I removed the ink from both bottom corners and the top center. Stamp in the lower center portion of your watercolor paper. Pull the colors from the lines with your watercolor brush and water. Using the stamp positioner, stamp the cobblestones from the Cobblestone Set (coming next week) in Sepia under the watering can. Next, stamp in the mini grass from Foliage Set 1 in Olive Green, pull the color, then ink up the tall flowery grass from the garden wagon mini set in Olive Green with African Violet on the little buds. Fill the watering can with foliage from Foliage Set 2 in Olive Green and flowers from Flower Set 3 in Rose Pink and Olive Green, Flower Set 2 in brilliant yellow and Flower Set 1 in African Violet. Add Olive Green to your palette and brush in between the cobblestones. Add a combination of Sepia and African Violet to your palette, combine to make the steel grey color and brush onto the watering can to add depth and dimension. Finish off with dot detail using the fine tip of African Violet.
Other: The Stamps of Life Stitched Circle Die, Post-It Notes, Doily, Patterned Paper
