Simple Things | NEW Art Impressions Watercolor Stamps

Hi Watercolor Fans!  Welcome back to another watercolor weekend and ANOTHER fabulous release.  I chose to do a simple scene using the new ROCKS and POND sets.  Here is my Simple Things card.  This card is so versatile it could be a masculine card, birthday, sympathy or virtually any type of card you can think of.  When I do these types of cards for my own stash, I leave the sentiment off so that I can add it when I need it.

Quick and Easy Slimline Card | Watercolor Weekend | Art Impressions

So our challenge this week was to create a quick and easy card.  This one looks difficult but it was really easy.  Sometimes I find myself creatively challenged when it comes to colors.  Sometimes I do so many colors it overwhelms the painting.  For this quick and easy project, I used only three colors for the flowers.  In order to vary each flower arrangement, I used each color on different flowers.  This worked out well with my three square layout.  It created interest while maintaining an overall together look.

Thank You Floral | Watercolor Weekend | Art Impressions Stamps

Hey watercolor fans!  Thank you so much for joining me again for Watercolor Weekend.  For my project this week, I decided to make a Thank You Floral card.  I love the Floral Invites set because you can use it in so many different ways.  Just change the color of the flowers, foliage, and the message and the card has a whole new feel.

TIP:  When using clear stamps it is sometimes difficult to see the design so I prep my stamp by coloring it completely with my 725 and cleaning it off.  The pink stains the stamp (which is fine) and allows me to see where the details are.
