Shine Your Light


Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well! For today's project, I am sharing a card I made using the light house stamp from the Light of the World set (Set 6126) from Art Impressions. This one was a really fun one to color. 


I used Copic markers for the coloring on my project. I started by coloring the lighthouse. I used the straight edge of a credit card to carefully draw the lines with light pencil to get the stripes onto my lighthouse. I have always loved red in lighthouses so I knew that would be a color I would go with. I blended 3 different reds and grey to create the colors on the stripes, leaving the middle more light in color to create a bit of a rounded effect. 

Next, I colored the cliff, rocks and tree using may brown and grey colors, as well as a few different greens on the tree.

I then added my water in.... using back and forth strokes. At first, it looks a bit sloppy but as you keep adding your layers of colors, it blends quite nicely. 

I then added the sky using a blender brush and some light blue ink onto the background. I wanted to make the cliff look more grounded instead of having it float there, so I also added a cliff from the WC Cliffs Set (#5465) and colored that in using the same color combos as before. I then stamped the sentiment. I hope you have a nice week! I will be working on fall projects!

Lighthouse Circlets for Cards for Kindness by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

A little while back Art Impressions participated in a program called Cards for Kindness.  I made 12 previous cards with the Art Impressions Scrapbook.com Daisies Exclusive Set.  I wanted to make a second set of more masculine cards.


I used 4979 – Lighthouse Circlet MTF.  This is the inside most panel in the set but I made it the star.  It's a set of three stamps and coordinating dies. 



Here's How it Works

1. You send your handmade cards (blank inside - with no
personal message) to Scrapbook.com.
2. We organize and distribute the cards to cancer foundations,
hospitals, shelters, retirement homes, children's homes
and other organizations in need.
3. The cards are used by nurses, doctors, staff members,
counselors, parents and volunteers who add handwritten
messages of encouragement and love before giving them
to patients, children and other people in need.

Copics used:
B0000, B21, B41, E23

Lighthouse by Reneé Matarese- Chameleon & Perfect Paper Crafting Blog Hop

Hello Ai friends!  

Happy Father's Day!

Art Impressions is having a special hop this week with Chameleon pens & Perfect Paper Crafting!  What a fun combination!  From June 15th-21st we are having a mini blog hop each day between the three company blogs.



You should have arrived here from Perfect Paper Crafting.

I used Lighthouse - Background (Sku#T1475) to create my masculine card.


The sky, grass and water were all colored with THE CHAMELEON COOL TONES
5 PEN TONE SETS. I used some Copics to add some "highlights" and color the rest of the image.  It's so cool getting so many shades from one marker!



The layers for my card were cut with the Mini Perfect Layers tool and a Perfect Paper Crafting Cutting Mat.  I used both 1/16th and 1/8th inches to matte my card.  They were really easy to understand and the self healing mat is very durable and great quality!


Inside I used Happy Birthday (Sku#E597).
