This latest card features the <a href="https://www.artimpressions.com/shop/watering-can-4761/">Watering Can</a> mini set along with a few staples from the foliage and floral sets. And to keep it in line with <a href="http://artimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/2017/04/challenge-205-wish-you-felt-better-week.html" target="_blank">the challenge</a>, the image was mounted on some felt.<br />

I still have a ton of felt from when I went through that phase a few years ago, so it was pretty easy to pull some out! I used my SU! heart thinlets to cut out this heart to stick around my bow - I like the effect.<br />

The main image is mostly from their newest stamps. I love all the little <a href="https://www.artimpressions.com/shop/wc-cats-set-4873/">kitties</a> (can't wait to get my bunnies that I won for my honorable mention during their last challenge!) and the stump is from the new <a href="https://www.artimpressions.com/shop/wc-rustic-container-set-4871/">Rustic Container</a> set. And then the classic foliage and floral sets along with the new floral set. One of these days I'll remember to take a photo of all the stamps and pens I use for these!<br />

Actually, I've made a bunch this week, but I'm only going to share one more today. This style of watercoloring is just so relaxing...I love it!!!<br />

<br />
This card uses the adorable set that was an exclusive for people taking classes from AI last year (2016) - and I've already got the set from this year that I'll have to use soon!<br />
<br />
I hope you're having a wonderful spring day!<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by,<br />

It is so easy to create a unique, gorgeous watercolor painting in just minutes with these stamps. I've met Kendra (HI!!) several times over the last few years at various Scrapbooking Expo's and she is one of the most kind and fun people I know. My BFF Judy and I look forward to each Expo just so we can catch up with her.<br />
<br />
At the most recent Expo in Pleasanton, I attend the AI watercoloring class again, and learned some great new techniques. One of which was how to get multiple colors to show through on images so they have a more metallic look to them. For instance, the wheelbarrow below was first inked with Marvy LePlume marker # 86 (African Violet), stamped off, then inked with #45 Sepia. The results are quite fun to play with.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
AI has a bi-monthly card contest, so since I was already playing with my stamps I figured I'd take the next step and actually post a card to my blog. So here it is, <a href="http://artimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/2017/03/challenge-204-spring-y-cards-week-2.html" target="_blank">my spring-y card</a>! And if you love that adorable kitten, there's a <a href="https://www.artimpressions.com/shop/wc-cats-set-4873/" target="_blank">new set</a> that has 5 adorable kittens to play with (don't worry, you'll see plenty more here!!)<br />
<br />
Happy Stamping!<br />

I saw this fabulous video on Facebook this week by an SU! demo in Germany (Sina Mueller) and she linked to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4_PkIuhoOU&feature=share" target="_blank">THIS YouTube video</a> by Stampin' Sacha for even more instructions on how to make the cool new Pop-Up Fold card. I just had to try it!<br />
<br />
Sitting in my stamp room (AKA the guest room!) I realized I wanted to use the Santa's Sleigh stamps and thinlet dies on the inside, and thought the detailed Santa thinly along with the Greetings from Santa stamp set would tie it all together nicely.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
My family all indulged me as I worked over the weekend to make this card come together, first making samples of the mechanism (after watching the videos a few times and adjusting to US measurements) and then finally making this. Of course, after I got it together I realized the reindeer and sleigh should be against a Night of Navy background, so I pulled out my ink pads and watercolor brush to make it so. I think I like the watercolor background better than I would have a navy blue CS background anyway. :-)<br />

<br />
Hope you all enjoy this card (and I'll try to get the good camera out this week, I just realized how bad these photos really are!) I'll try to start posting more of the ones I've been working on the last few weeks as time permits. Thanks for stopping by!!<br />

When I took a break from blogging almost a year ago I never imagined I'd be gone this long. But...real life catches up and takes over sometimes, but I'm happy to be back here in blogland - at least a little. The good news, I have been creating! The bad news, still not sure I'm ready to commit to regular blogging again, but I'll try.<br />

Sorry for the long, unscheduled hiatus everyone. Life decided I needed a summer vacation from blogging...and I think it was good for me. I can't promise to be very consistent over the next 2 months while trying to get Jackson ready to start preschool, start a new business, and train a new puppy (what were we thinking?!?) but I'll try to get here at least once or twice a week!<br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">For my card today I got to use the adorable new Beach Marci! I love her little floaty, and the old fashioned striped bathing suit is just too cute!! And that bucket hat?? LOVE it! To color her, I used my copics (of course) and included E50, 51 and 53; R00 and 30, Y11, 13, 15 and YR 15, 23 and 31; BG000, 01, 02 and 05. Phew!

I am definitely a fan of clean and simple when it comes to layouts, but also for my images and even embellishments sometimes. This card is certainly an example of that.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-UQbd1A4gkC-_kXb8owYM1G6mGb1qH2ehskMK6STCrSNWaC__FwfM8wlza-QWUuZfJaiSPYQZNSsV3idy_E2h279jKw5ltxESUFrRgqqrMEls-oB25_B-igUMJMqRFe6FW5Qclg/s1600/lllc_panda_treasure.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-UQbd1A4gkC-_kXb8owYM1G6mGb1qH2ehskMK6STCrSNWaC__FwfM8wlza-QWUuZfJaiSPYQZNSsV3idy_E2h279jKw5ltxESUFrRgqqrMEls-oB25_B-igUMJMqRFe6FW5Qclg/s320/lllc_panda_treasure.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />
I colored Marci's sweet little <a href="http://lalalandcrafts.com/panda.html">Panda bear</a> with my W1, 3, 5 and 7 markers (with a little R000, R21 &22 for the collar) I paired him up with some MME Stella Rose papers and fun ric rak, added a sentiment from My Favorite Things, and that was it. A super fast, easy card. Every card doesn't have to be a masterpiece, some can just be! :-)<br />
<br />
Speaking of masterpieces, did you see that we have a <a href="http://lalalandcrafts.blogspot.com/2011/05/design-team-call.html">Design Team Call</a> up for La-La Land Crafts right now??

I decided to pair Jesalyn (available in <a href="http://lalalandcrafts.blogspot.com/p/digis.html">digi right here</a> and in<a href="http://lalalandcrafts.blogspot.com/p/news-flash.html"> rubber here</a>!) with <a href="http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2011/04/mojo-monday-188.html">this week's Mojo188 sketch</a>, and am quite pleased with the results! I also colored her with my W's to create the black and white look - such a fun technique!! I used W00, 1, 3, 5 and 7 - along with R00 to give her a nice soft pink glow.<br />

How could I resist?? I thought I'd make a love note that Carole could send to her good friend<a href="http://myblogbycammie.blogspot.com/"> Cammie</a>!

If you haven't checked out the <a href="http://www.amberink.com/collections/nudie-cuties">Nudie Cuties</a> yet, I strongly encourage you to. They are adorable, and SO MUCH fun to color!! Think of all the great shading opportunities! I used a pretty basic layout, and added this LUSCIOUS silk ribbon to finish it off.<br />

I've had such a great month with <a href="http://www.amberink.com/">Amber Ink</a>, I'm sad to see it come to an end.

Such a wonderful sketch this week too! I love all that open space to play in! Not too many layers - a sketch custom made for me. Kim must have remembered it was my birthday this week! :-) I used a few Die-namics here...grass, clouds and sun to be exact, and some great 3Bugs in a Rug paper I picked up at Memories Live On.<br />

I hadn't colored this little cutie black and white yet, and I just needed to see how she'd look! As usual, I've paired her up with this fabulous Circa 1934 paper and this week's <a href="http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2011/04/mojo-monday-186.html">Mojo Monday sketch</a>. And of course you all know already that this little cutie is available in both <a href="http://lalalandcrafts.blogspot.com/p/news-flash.html">rubber </a>and <a href="http://lalalandcrafts.blogspot.com/p/digis.html">Digi format.</a><br />

I added lots of embellishments, lace, ribbon, bakers twine! The sentiment is an old Stampin Up! set that matches the punch, with a scalloped circle behind it. For markers I used W00, 01, 03. 05 and 07.<br />

I had started coloring this <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=15&products_id=1156">Fred the Bear</a> image on Friday night, and so I thought I'd stick with him. Then, I pulled out an old pair of jeans I had been saving to use for cards and ran them through my Cuttlebug with my <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=58&products_id=986">rolled rose</a> and mini rolled rose die-namics. I used this week's sketch for my layout, and distressed all the edges with my scissors (I can't find my distressing tool...it's somewhere on my desk but I have no idea where with the giant piles I currently have!)<br />

The ladies are sophisticated, and elegant, and VERY flirty! For some reason Jesalyn (currently available as a <a href="http://lalalandcrafts.blogspot.com/p/digis.html">digi stamp</a>!) brings Marilyn Monroe to mind for me...perhaps it's that dress! So for today's card, gave her platinum blond hair and a white dress that could be blowing up over an air vent - just like Marilyn!<br />

I used my lovely Circa 1934 paper from Cosmo Cricket (LOVE that stuff still) and some NEW nestabilites that I just picked up at <a href="http://www.memoriesliveon.com/home">Memories Live On</a> today (they arrived - WOOHOO!!) Of course I had to add some ribbon, and a touch of bling.<br />

I used 2 stamps from MFT's Who's That Birthday Girl for sentiments...one on the front and one on the inside. I thought they fit perfectly!!<br />

Last soccer season the team mom we had was fabulous (this season hasn't really gotten going yet, but I'm sure this season's will be wonderful too!) but Kristen was such an amazing cheerleader for the girls...I loved having her at the games! So this card is for her!<br />

The inspiration comes from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/FreshMetal">Fresh Metal,</a> a shop with some amazingly beautiful necklaces featuring these fabulous rolled roses. I pulled some colors from the shop, along with the roses (I used the SU! satin roses from the current Occasions Mini that I colored with my Copic Airbrush system) and then I used the <a href="http://iheart2stamp.com/2011/03/05/march-sketch-for-you-to-try/">March Sketch For You to Try</a> (also sponsored by Amber Ink this month!) for my layout.<br />

Aren't these bunnies the cutest ever??? I colored them with some Warm Grays (W1, 3, and 5) since I learned to use the warm grays for living things...and I think they are much better than with the cools! after coloring them, I masked them then created the background with my copic Airbrush system. I used the Dizzy Edge DieNamic from MFT for my 2 horizontal strips for the sketch.<br />

I finished off the inside with a sentiment from MFT's Warm Fuzzies. Be sure to play along with this month's SFYTT, you could win some Amber Ink stamps for your very own...and I'd love to see what you create for this week's Etsy Inspired challenge too!<br />
