Art Impressions Christmas tags!!

Hello AI Fans!!
 
 
Today I'd like to show you a set of Christmas tags I made using the new AI Christmas stamps! I had so much fun coloring these little cuties!! Aren't they too sweet??!!  The bear and penguin are from the Christmas Cheer Set (sku #4666) and Rudolph is from Holly Jolly Set (sku #4667). These were so quick and easy to make! I think a set of these in a decorative box would make a great gift! And they would really spice up your Christmas packages!!

Water Color the Art Impressions Way

Hello AI Fans!
 
So I'm really starting to enjoy the water coloring! I didn't think it was something I would get into, but I got to meet Kendra in person at the Sacramento Scrapbook Expo and she definitely got my attention! She created such a beautiful work of art and heart for me, and now I've caught the bug!! I've got a very looooooong way to go, but I know I'm really going to enjoy the journey!  Speaking of water coloring, did you see that Art Impressions is starting up Water Color Wednesdays???!!!  They are going to post a water color video every Wednesday on the Facebook page! So make sure you've liked the page and tune in every Wednesday for some lessons and amazing inspiration!!
 
Today I'm very humbly showing you a card using the Flower Set #4052,  the Foliage Set #4051, and the Water Color Containers #4111 along with the Window Die #4619.
 
 
 
 
#8 Violet, #20 Magenta, #9 Pink, #10 lt blue, #100 Sapphire, #15 Olive Green, and #45 Sepia
 
 



Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you give Water Coloring the Art Impressions way a chance if you haven't already! Enjoy your weekend and hope you have time to get crafty!
