Art Impressions Windows to the World

This is just one set of cards so far made using my Windows to the World stamps and matching window die from Art Impressions.  I had originally shared with you in this post how enamored I was with these stamps.  I can tell you that the stamps did not disappoint.  Here's a few of the details:

• All images were stamped using black Archival Ink onto Canson watercolor paper.  
• I colored the images with Inktense pencils and a watercolor brush.  Nothing fancy here - I tended to scribble color onto the image and blend with a damp watercolor brush - pinching off the water to ensure that not too much made it's way to my card.  Look close - this is not a professional job
• I used Inktense to scribble some blue color onto the card base and large amounts of water to distribute the color to create a background for my image.  I raised the image with foam squares.
• The window was cut out of brown cardstock and adhered to the opening made with the matching die.  I simply trimmed the "window panes" from the card base so the view of the image was less obstructed.

 In the end I purchased five different images.  I'm sure there are more cards to come.  I just couldn't wait to share these with you now. 

I adore how these turned out.  This makes such a fantastic gift - I'm going to make a few and have them on hand for when I need them.  If you haven't checked out the Art Impressions stamps, I'd recommend you at least have a look.  They are wonderful.
