Welcome to Watercolor Weekend with Art Impressions stamps. Make sure you check out the Art Impressions Blog and my fellow team members projects, they are sure to inspire! Today I have created a Quilted Watercolor Card using my stamps, markers and some really cool dies.
I have really been into trying to create quilt patterns with my dies and stamps. My mom is a spectacular quilter and I wanted to try some with paper, so here is what I came up with.
Quilted Watercolor CArd Details
I die cut several watercolor squares using the Spellbinders Die. Using one of the squares, I stamped the mini watering can from the WC Wishing Well Mini Set in Sepia. I added some foliage with the vine from the WC Foliage Set 2 in Olive Green. I added some flowers from the 5009 – WC Mini Flower Set in Olive Green, Violet and Magenta. I added grass using the WC Foliage Set 1.
On two more squares, I stamped the flowers from the 5008 – WC Flower Set 3 using Olive Green and Magenta. I cut them in half. To create the batik triangles, I scribbled color onto a craft mat and sprayed them with water. I dipped the watercolor paper into the pools of color. I die cut these with the Spellbinders Die. I also used this die to cut some additional triangles from the Gina K Designs Heavy Base Weight Card Stock- Plum Punch cardstock.
I assembled my quilt and used a stitched rectangle to cut out the center. I ran the piece through my die cut machine using the Quilt Top Textured Impressions Embossing Folder by Stampin’ Up!. I cut the Gina K Designs Heavyweight Cardstock- Fresh Asparagus and Heavy Base Weight Card Stock- Wild Lilac mats using the next two stitched rectangles. I adhered them together and placed them on a white card base.
I hope you will try some new techniques with your stamps. We would love to see what you come up with! Post your project to Instagram using #AIWatercolor.

Love your quilt card. I’ve made a few but not that pattern and love the way you used the A.I. stamps to do some of the squares. Wish you’d have made a video of making it. Love to see how you put it all together.

This is beautiful. Will you have a video?
I am a quilter as well as a papercrafter so this project totally appeals to me. What a wonderful idea. Hope to see a video tutorial on this sometime.
What a wonderful idea!! I am a card maker and have dabbled in quilting so I love how you incorporated the AI stamps into your quilt. Getting the matching fabrics is always the challenge for me so I love the idea of smooshing the colors you used in the stamping to make a batik. Brilliant!!
