Windows to the World

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing two WTTW cards with you.

Not sure what WTTW means?  It's short for Windows to the World.

This is a wonderful line from Art Impressions that can be used on their own or placed on the inside of your card visible through a window.

Layton's Legacy and Art Impressions Blog Hop

Hello Ai fans

 and fans of the wonderful organization Layton's Legacy. 

Today Art Impressions is participating in a blog hop to help this wonderful cause.

I've used 3 Ai sets on the front of my card.

4872 – WC Birds Set

4966 – WC Bird Bath Set

4964 – WC Branches Set

Our task was to make woodland themed cards.  Well...that's right up my alley!  I live in a house surrounded by woods on all four sides and just LOVE animals.  This photo was provided for further inspiration.

Below is the inside of my card where I've used two more Ai watercolor sets.

4874 – WC Bunnies Set

4903 – WC Sentiments Set

I hope you all take the time to participate in this wonderful blog hop.  

I have a friend who has had several babies born sleeping and so this cause is special to me.  I wish there wasn't a need for fundraisers like this.

Copics used:

Watercolor Puppy and Bench! New from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

Who doesn't love a new release from Art Impressions!?

I sure know I do!

Today I'm sharing the cutest new releases from the watercolor series!

I've used 4959 WC Dogs Set

4965 WC Bench Set

I also used two previous releases...

4875 Garden Wagon Mini Set

4903 – WC Sentiments Set

I just love dogs so much so I'm in love with this new set!!

I have to be honest...watercoloring doesn't come natural to me.  I made two versions of this both of which I tossed out. (well, recycled)  I went to bed angry. I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed and this scene just sprang to life and I'm very happy with it.  With some trial and error I always feel like I've created something to be proud of.  Just don't give up if you don't love what you create at first!!

Here's the inside of my card.

Marvy Markers:

 6, 11, 12, 15, 18, 24, 27, 40, 45, 55, 57, 78,

New Watercolor releases at Art Impressions!

Hello Ai fans!

There's a brand new release at Art Impressions.  We all know they're famous for Bonnie's watercolor images and the new ones are a wonderful addition to an already amazing collection.  I was lucky enough to get to premiere the Critters and Containers!

On my cards I've used these new releases...

4867 WC Foliage Set 2

4868 SC Flower Set 2

4869 WC Small Container Set

4873 WC Cats Set

4874 WC Bunnies Set

4876 Wooden Chair Mini Set

4903 WC Sentiments Set

My first card, with the Easter egg shape also has the Bunny & Ducky Mini Front and Backs on it. (for the sentiment)

I love Gingham and Polka Dots and thought they'd be a great compliment to these new images.

I love the yellow papers for spring.  They make me think of my daffodils as they bloom.

We were just buried under about 33" of snow in upstate N.Y. so my crocuses that bloomed in the 3rd week of February are long gone.  My daffodils will probably be the next sign of Spring.

As much as I like the light, bright cards above for Spring I had to make one card that's more to my color liking...I love deep earthtones.  This one doesn't have any of the critters but has a pretty container filled with flowers.I think the navy goes nicely with the same yellow paper that the lighter colors went with in my other cards.
