Schoolhouse Matchbook Scene from Art Impressions

 Hello everyone and happy Tuesday!

My package FINALLY arrived.

For some reason, it took a liking to N.J. and stayed there
far longer than it should have.

I was anxiously awaiting it to see if the new little Freebie
Structures would fit in the 5317 – MB Template Dies.
It turns out that they are scaled perfectly for them!
I'm so excited.

In case you're not aware, the freebies are available when you
spend $30 or more. You are able to select your choice of
the current freebies.

All of the papers on the inside are from 5873 – Mini Birthday Journal Paper Pack.

The sunshine is from SC0653 – Beach Babes.

I used various tabs from other MB sets and cut them down to
fit all of the 5889 – Village Vehicles and 5890 – Village Accessories.

Like with all of the MB sets, this will fold up flat for mailing.

I used a combination of Copic, Tombow and Marvy markers and watercolor pencils to color these.

Copics used:

N0, Y02, Y15, G03, G12, G16, G28

Marvy: NO. 12 grey

Tombow Twintone: Black, Chocolate and Strawberry Red
Staedtler WC Pencils: 3, 80
Derwent Watercolour Pencils: Deep Cadmium 6, Geranium Lake 15, 
Madder Carmine 19, Turquoise Green 40, Vandyke Brown 55

Hello Spring from Art Impressions

 Hello Spring!!

Well, almost.  We're not "out of the woods" yet where I live. Last April we received a foot of heavy, wet snow on the 19th which destroyed several of our trees. You just never know in the Northeast.

For now, I'm going to choose to believe that bluebirds and butterflies and flowers and bees will be here before you know it!

My card fits with the current Pop It Up challenge over on the blog.

I used several Art Impressions products on my card.

There are 3 stamp/die sets, 1 die set and a paper pack.

Links to everything are below.

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and that your Spring will be filled with flowers and happiness. And for those of you who are now coming into the colder months. I'm sorry...lol!  We've done our time here though. Time for some warm weather!
