Let's Hit the Slopes from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

Here is my 2nd card for the current Sports & Leisure challenge.
This one is a little different for me. I watercolored some parts and used Copic markers for some of it. The skier and deer were done with Tombow and Marvy markers and water. The mountains, sky and chalet are Copic colored. The snow was done using Dr. Ph Martin's Bleed Proof White Paint.

Let it Snow was stamped with Shadow Grey Archival ink as were the mountains and Winding Scene.
The chalet was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I penciled in areas where the snow covered the stamped lines and to add some texture and shading to the mountains.

We hope you'll join us for the challenge and maybe you'll win a free stamp set.

Ballooning Through the Mountains from Art Impressions

Hello and happy Thursday everyone!

Yesterday there was a new release on the Art Impressions website.

I've used the new 5789 – Hot Air Balloon Set.



This set is very special to me because I grew up in a ballooning community.

My neighbor was the first pilot in my area and we host a Hot Air Balloon festival every year.

I've been up twice for full flights and when I was a child he used to let us help set up the 

balloon and would "hop" us through his pastures on tethered rides for fun.

Though we don't quite have mountains like these in my area, I couldn't resist using the 5198 – WC Mountain Set with the balloons.  The matte was cut with a frame from 5768 – Decorative Journal Page Set 1. The striped paper is from 5835 – Mini Journal Paper Pack and the sentiment is from 5797 – Little Things Sentiment Set.

 

Be sure to check out our two challenges for your chance to win free stamps!

I can't share the second one just yet because it's set to go live at noon.

I hope you enjoy them!
