Welcome back to a new Watercolor Wednesday video! Today, we'll be showing how to easily change our Wooden Door Set from a wintery snow scene to a beautiful blooming summer escape! This video will show you how simple it is to remove or add a line to change snow within our watercolor images.

Wooden Door Watercolor by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!

I have another Ai Watercolor Mini card to share with you today - this one is using Wooden Door (Sku #4702):

 The set includes four stamps: The door, the wreath, the logs & the small tree.  It is perfect for a Christmas card, but I made mine more of a general winter themed card, by using non traditional colours.  I wrapped some irridescent twine around the base, multiple times, and sprinkled on a few irridescent sequins, and then added pop dots to the matted circle so that it could sit over top of the twine.  There are also some tiny clear sparkles on the wreath to act as the berries.  The card itself is 5" square, and was painted with a combo of Distress Inks, and both Marvy & Tombow markers.

 Have you tried the Art Impressions Watercolor Minis yet??  You can find them all here - and if you scroll back over the last several Wednesdays here on the blog, you'll find some amazing tutorial videos done by Bonnie Krebs, showing step by step instructions on how to paint with these wonderful stamp sets.
