Watercolor Spring Door | Art Impressions

Today I am creating this watercolor spring door using Art Impressions stamps and Marvy Markers.  This project uses a few of the new stamp sets that were rolled out the beginning of this year from Art Impressions.

Spring Door Card details:

Step 1 – The Door

Ink the door stamp with Sepia and stamp it into the middle of the watercolor paper.  Using a paintbrush, pull the color out of the lines.

Step 2 – Creating Texture & Details

Using the Slate Blue and water, I created a wash around the door to serve as a foundation for the bricks.  Then I added the brick texture to the left and right of the door using Brownish Grey.  Pull the color from below and between the bricks.  I used the African Violet to draw in the curtains in the windows.

Step 3 – Adding Flowers and Cobblestones

Ink up the cobblestones with African Violet and Sepia, stamp it in front of the door.  Pull the color to the outside of the stones.  Use a little color on the top of the stones to give dimension.  Add the small grass using Olive Green to the door step and around and between the cobblestones.  Using Sepia, I added some color below the grasses and to the sides of the cobblestones and underneath the grasses.  I inked up the left and right flowers with Magenta and Olive Green.

Step 4 – Flowers and Foliage

I inked up the new foliage (left and right) vines with Olive Green and stamped it along the sides of the door and at the top.  To create the flowers, I inked them with Violet.  I added some of the Violet to the curtains in the door.

Step 5 – Finishing Touches

Using my Misti stamping tool, I stamped the Gina K Designs “Congrats on your new home” with Versafine Black Ink.  Then, I mounted it on a mat made from Gina K Designs Wild Wisteria cardstock.  I mounted the entire piece on a white card base.
