A new challenge is being shared today on the Impression Obsession Blog, and I hope you join the fun! The challenge is a color challenge, and the color is Blue.
I chose to use the Heart Brush and You Are Beautiful sentiment image on my card. I stamped the sentiment in black StazOn ink on heavy watercolor paper. I added a wash of blue, adding spots here and there as it dried. I stamped the brush on watercolor paper and hand cut the image. I wrapped the brush with twine and adhered it to the card. I added a heart shaped gem over top of where there is a heart on the handle of the brush image. Finally, I adhered the painted and stamped image to a base of Neenah cardstock layered with patterned paper from The Paper Loft's Island Sun line.
Find all the details on how to enter the challenge on the Impression Obsession Blog. A random challenge entry will be selected to showcase on the IO blog and you can to enter to win a $25 gift certificate to IO just by playing!
