Hello! Today, I am sharing a project created with the Art Impressions matchbook set – Garden. I enjoyed watercoloring a scene straight out of a gardener’s paradise – a dedicated gardening shed! Continue reading to learn how I created the card.
The Art Impressions Matchbook series has many different options. You can see an intro video here. For more inspiration, see my other matchbook creations here and here.
-
- Stamp Garden images in VersaFine ink on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper; heat set.
- Watercolor the images with watercolor markers using the No. 4 and No. 1 brushes and palette. I used a combination of Tombow markers, Zig markers, and Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer Watercolor Pencils. You can read more about watercoloring stamped images here.
- Once dry, cut the images with the coordinating dies included with the Garden set.
- Cut matchbook from patterned paper with the MB Template. Add watercolored Garden elements.
- Stamp Garden sentiment on white cardstock, trim, and add to scene.
It just so happens that there is currently a challenge at Art Impressions called Fabulous Flowers, in which I am entering the project.
I hope you win! Love all the colors and your water coloring skills are amazing!
So cute, love these miniatures.
