Art Impressions 1st challenge of 2017! #199 Card Resolutions


Hello AI Fans!!

Happy New Year!! It's the 1st challenge of 2017 over at Art Impressions, and the new challenge is Card Resolutions! We're challenging you to try a new technique! I've always wanted to try the chalkboard technique, so this was my chance to give it a go. I think it turned out ok for a first try. I used M4120 Birthday Whoot. I simply stamped the image and sentiment with Versamark ink onto black cardstock, then used white embossing powder with a heat gun. Super quick and fun, and I think it looks pretty cool too.


Please be sure and pop over to the Art Impressions blog to check out all the fabulous techniques by the Design Team, and I hope you join us in the challenge for a chance to win an amazing prize from Art Impressions! Thanks so much for stopping by to visit today, and hope you have some time to get crafty!

Welcome to 2017!!! I hope you had a wonderful holiday and that the new year is being very good to you!! I've got one last Christmas card to show you, and if you've been checking out Bonnie's Watercolor Wednesday posts, it should look very familiar to you! I did a complete copy of what Bonnie showed in THIS VIDEO, and as soon as I saw it, I knew I was going to have to try it!  I LOVE that Bonnie is so willing to share her amazing talents to teach us how to make such gorgeous works of heart! So please do not ever be scared to try something she is showing. Go ahead and give it a shot and I can pretty much assure you're going to have a lot of fun doing it!!
