As you may know, I have been experimenting with the "style of Art Impressions watercoloring." While I am working on buying more of their water color style stamps, I am also trying to go through the stamps I have and trying to see IF I can use some of them with this style. Some -- very obviously -- will not work. And some have very real possibilities!
One thing I am learning is the Art Impressions stamps have a ever so lightly larger outside line -- and that makes a difference. But it has been fun trying to discover which stamps will really work well with that style of watercoloring.
So perhaps you see what i am talking about -- the lines on the stems and the edges of the lovely old watering can are very delicate. I never realized that before tonight when I worked on this card! You may be familiar with this set from Stampin' Up. I added grass and flowers from from Art Impressions. And the greeting on the front is one of those tiny word stamps from Stampin' Up that I chose not to unmount. I sponged the sky. So what do you think? Does this watering can work with the Art Impressions style of watercoloring?
I used an embossing folder for the main layering piece of card stock and a ribbon and self stick jewels as embellishments. I used Soft Sky ink to sponge the sky in the background.
Will you get inky today? Have a wonderful day.

Gorgeous card Judy! I'd say you just about have the A.I. Watercoloring technique mastered!
very lovely. I think the watering can definitely works. What is the difference in "watercolor stamps". I know I have used some of the Stampin Up beach /people scenes nicely with watercolor pencils...but I tended to use only a hint of color. This is much more elegant that what I did.
I so agree.
I dunno know Judy. I have gone and checked the AI thing out and I think yours is better. Could AI be making this whole AI Way thing as part of marketing their watercolor stamps? I don't like it when anyone tells anyone they have to do it a certain way when they really do not. I love that you can give the same stamped image to 3 different artists to watercolor and you get 3 unique pieces. And I like yours a lot. xoxo
